What constitutes a nice Hudson commemorative?

Do Hudsons generally look weakly-struck? Do they ever come with nice toning?
Does anyone have an example of an attractive one to show?
Thanks,
Dan

I'm sorry I don't have access to a pic of a nicely toned Hudson. It's a rare beast.

Finding a nice PCGS/NGC MS64 "white lustrous well-struck" Hudson is a real challenge. Such a coin should bring almost MS65 money. This describes my set piece Hudson. In hand, it looks better than the majority of MS65 Hudsons I have compared with it.

I really don't see how this coin earned MS66 with all those nasty digs on the sails, and that black stuff on the center sail blows it for me. I like the coin more as MS64.

Now that is a super nice coin for the grade, much nicer than the above Heritage MS66.

That is a great looking coin Mark. I have been looking for a nice Hudson for a while now, and I can say - there just ain't many around that look like that, regardless of price.
That looks like a fine Hudson you found at your local shop. I don't know what's more rare, finding an attractive Hudson, or getting one raw for AU money which actually is a winner. Congrats!

The pictures I'm trying to import are nicer than the icon pic. I am going to resubmit this coin to another tpg ( across the srteet) to try for an upgrade. >>
Why not send it to PCGS instead of NGC?

Checking out some archival posts of monster commems. First of all, I miss 'ole coinguy1 around here. Second of all, IMO this is the most impressive and eye appealing Hudson's on earth.

I have a 3 inch gilt example that exibits fantastic collors. Some 3 inch and four inch examples have some color.

This is another low mintage commem that has seen major abuse, I would expect a majority of the pop percentage on these to be from re-submissions.
I acquired that Hudson a few years ago from Aspen Park. They had two Hudsons in MS65 that were almost identical. Evan Gale, who is the owner, sent me both of them to chose from. Both were so nice it took me almost a week to decide which one I wanted.
