Got my newp - it's staying with me for a spell image

The photo doesn't do justice to the incredible lustrous fields this example still exhibits. It is striking!

It is graded AU53 (PCGS), and this sentence from another example states; ʺHigh end ex. for this charmingly hideous seriesʺ is so applicable.

The MS62 that recently sold was in NGC holder somewhat similar ... went for more than my budget.

Can someone please post the secure photo for me? - its a nice one - just can't seem to reduce it for the board upload. (cert#19751684)

There is practically no wear and looks as struck - any comments on the grade? - I think it merits better.

    Personal issues aside...

    Cool coin. I like this 1/2Cr-sized new world piece.

    Nice one! I'm not really sure why, but I find the crudeness of these coins to appealing. Here's my example, also in PCGS AU53.

    Edited to add that the image shown was when it was in a NGC XF45 holder.

    hey thanks EVP , I appreciate it...have no clue how you did that image

    This secure pcgs scan looks closer to reality.

    I can't get the striking luster on this piece at all - there is some faint rub but in hand looks way better than 53

    WWW does yours have underlying luster?

    Great looking coin and scarce I am thinking.
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    I've always LOVED that sun rays-over-mountains design. Thankfully it's been used for a long time so you can see it on crisp moderns ...

    Personally I love the design and find the crudeness of them neat. Here's my example, an 8R in P58:

    Very nice indeed. If only I could get the budget from the minister for finance to purchase a coin with that design image

    that's a really well graded 58 - I kind of gravitate to that design too.


    One of these days I'll get a better picture of my newp.

    I've been outbid on a few of the sun rays-over-mountains 8R recently. Nice coins.

    Thanks all, and sorry to OP didn't mean to take focus off of your awesome 4R. I love mine as well although there's another one out there that blows mine away and is drop dead gorgeous. See it here.

    You guys aren't helping any. Wouldn't you rather be chasing Maundy sets? Please?
