A few of my new favorites.
Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.12 -

Let’s see some coins with excellent eye appeal! Any coin, any grade…
A friend stopped by today to show me some of his collection, I noticed a pattern of excellent eye appeal on EVERYTHING!
Let’s see that V-Nickel @Avocet
I’ll start with my Liberty $10:
Great visit today with @asheland ! Thank you for the kind comments about the coins that I brought in for our mini coin show event. We had a great time sharing special coins from our collections, and @asheland had incredible coins to share
. Here is the 1891 V Nickel you referenced in the OP-- I really enjoy this piece. This coin is graded at PR66+ CAC:

In my opinion this has great eye appeal
Maybe not quite what you were looking for considering you started with an MS65... but this is one of my favorite large cents I have, even among the MS60-64's in my collection

Here are three that look like they just came off the press, went straight to PCGS, then to CAC, then home to me:

When I sent this coin in, I thought for sure it would of hit, at least, the pf. 66 or 67?
Another thing is PCGS gave it a BN designation. I see RD. Regardless, It has eye appeal!1968s PF. 64 BN

@winesteven ...
Even when it was struck I do not believe it was blast white... That acquisition was for the date and the nautical image. Cheers, RickO3 -

I do love the color on mine, I had an AU example a few years ago, got tired of it, wanted one in MS, sold it and just waited for a better example to come along.This one showed up about 2 months ago, my patience paid off!
