The MS66+ coin is the Col. Green-Lelan Rogers-Stellar Collection specimen, well worth the "+" and (in my opinion) superior to the other MS66 specimen (the St. Oswald-Ostheimer piece). This is also the coin that Eric Newman passed up when picking coins from the Col. Green Estate inventory, in favor of the fabulous AU he chose.

It's on CoinFacts. Would be surprised if you didn't have a subscription. If not, it's a grayish
blue-purple coin with nary a visible mark. There are a few planchet striations and some
very short adjustment marks (3-5 o'clock near the obverse rim). The only real distraction
to overall fabulous eye appeal is some striking weakness along the left rim on either side
of the coin.

True, though for my money, the CoinFacts images are far superior.
Thanks for pointing to CoinFacts. .

IIRC the St. Oswald coin also has the more recent Jimmy Hayes pedigree. .

The Lelan Rogers 1794 dollar in 1995 auctioned for $577,500 which was then an auction record for a 1794 $.

Hopefully, the readers of this thread will please consider an extremely pertinent statement that I put forth in an article in January 2013, here reproduced verbatim:
* I have a clear recollection of the Rogers piece, which is wonderful. The Rogers 1794 dollar is, though, a business strike. I refer to the Carter 1794 as the finest known because it truly merits its Specimen-66 certification and it has incredible characteristics. The Rogers piece is probably of higher quality, strictly in terms of numerical grade, by a fraction of a grade increment. In terms of method of manufacture, production quality and overall visual impact, the Carter 1794 is vastly superior to the Rogers 1794 dollar. The Carter 1794 dollar is awe-striking. *

Incredible Carter 1794 silver dollar
I always loved this Bass coin as well. The strike is incredible. No where in the league of the 1794's being discussed. But it the highest graded one I've ever held in my hands for a long time. 10 mins!
