Two NEWPs love the surfaces

Hi Folks,
I have 2 new bust quarter newps this month. One is a die marriage I already have, the 1834 B4, but the surfaces on this one were too good to pass up. The other one, the 06/5 - I have not found one I liked in the grade range I want for DBQ's (20-45) after looking for many a year until now. So now I have a VF20, again with the kind of surfaces that suggest minimal intentional human intervention.
I love the colorful ones as well, but I find these that have not been messed with to be equals in eye appeal.
Best, SH

You'd love this one in hand Tom, it is your kind of coin for sure. Thanks for the nice comments folks!

Yes, agreed. Very nice. The 1806/5 is quite nice for the grade!
They are both very nice coins... excellent specimens and would make any collector proud to own them. Cheers, RickO
I would expect nothing lesser from @spacehayduke
Very nice indeed

Thanks for the comments folks.........
I love seeing coins like those!!
1834 is wholesome.
Not so on the other.....old cleaning?

That is a rather surprising comment - where is the evidence for an old cleaning? Notice the dirt in the devices and the even patina - this coin was probably not cleaned in the past in any detrimental way. If you are going to say something like that and rain on my parade (and with a smiley face to boot), I would like to hear where you came up with it. Apparently CAC liked it, and my experience with submitting 100s of early silver to them is that they take a negative view (i.e. don't pass) coins with old cleanings that visually affect the coin that would de-wholesome-ize the coin. I can show you many early silver coins in this grade that have evidence of old cleanings - but that is best shown in hand, not from images. This one does not.
Best, SH
Pretty coins.
Well done! Two very nice examples.
Sorry to rain on any parade. I'm not a grader, nor do I collect this series.....my apologies.

PS: smiley face is a habit.
Sorry to say as that's not my kinda AU58, but it seems they ain't making those anymore
