    Glowwwww!

    Thank you, Tai no henka: And the next time we get together in Manila, please show me what you did, so I can do it, myself.

    A few notes about the coin:

    -- Graded Pr67 by NGC, old, old slab

    -- The two lines under Mount Mayon are on the plastic, not the coin

    -- The coin is beautifully struck. You can see the gorgeous hair detail on Lady Liberty, but what you can't see (but which are easily visible on the coin itself) are all her fingers toes, and even toe nails.

    Enjoy!

    Just Having Fun

    Outstanding. Yes, I can see why it would be one of his favorite pesos ever.

    Great coin, and a great image.

    Well done.

    Tai no henka: Absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad my photo tips helped show this exceptional coin close to it's true look. If I'm lucky, someday I'll get the chance to see it in person. There isn't much else to say - I'm awestruck. Congratulations for finding such a remarkable coin.

    Justhavingfun: Thanks for the additional details regarding this gem. I knew if you thought it was the most beautiful peso you'd ever seen that it must be something special!

    Simply unbelievable. Thanks for sharing! I wonder what the provenance of such a special coin is.

    Thank you all for your great comments.

    And auld farte, if you'd like to see another beautiful, US-Philippine coin, USAROK has another thread going and shows two beauts. Below is my first attempt at making a link, so I don't know if it will work, but if it doesn't, his thread is worth visiting for the beauty of the coins.

    This is my 500th post and I promised to hold a giveaway. I will when I return to BAngkok, early next week.

    Warm regards,
