A New Addition to the Type Set!

I'm in love with this super lustrous Peace Dollar and am glad I can add it to my very slooooowly developing basic U.S. type set. I absolutely love the golden toning that has cream color accents in the center, particularly on the reverse. The cheek is absolutely clean except for a small mark underneath Liberty's eye and the fields are nearly pristine. There's also a little more hair detail than what is revealed in the pic. Interestingly, there is a swooping obverse die crack beginning to the left of the date and then running along the base of the neck. On the reverse, a wonderfully positioned die crack is clutched by the eagle's beak. I even like the reeding mark on the bird's throat. These imperfections are endearing to me.
