Sorry, the images are not as good as i've come to be able to produce. The coin looks better than the images. Pilgrims rarely come with good color. But here's a gorgeous one with uncommon red toning.

It's the coin that helped me decide what I wanted to collect. At the time I saw it I was selling off my collection (mainly errors and varieties) after basically being out of the hobby for a while. I saw it, fell in love with it and decided to put together a set of toned commems. Two years later I'm still working on that set.
What I REALLY want is the 1921 that Adrian has to go with this one. I can't believe it sold for so cheap in the Heritage auction. Had their photo looked anything like the actual coin, I'd have bid much higher. Oh well, I guess everyone else would have bid higher on it too.... Still, I'm jealous.
Last I heard it was for sale by Larry Shepherd for $7000.
