Yeah, I started this thread solely to show off a newp. 
I have been looking for an attractive Connecticut for a couple of years. Found this one in listed on a Dealers website last week. IMO, these are hard to find without being dipped to death.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

And once again, your crawling bug avatar got me!
(Embarrassingly, in our semitropical climate, it is all but impossible to keep those little German cockroaches out of our house, so that was unfortunately all too realistic, and I caught myself trying to brush it off the monitor!)

The Dolly Madison commemorative is really well done. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, it was designed by people other than the Mint engravers.

Yeah, I knew it was designed by Tiffany. I have a close-to-complete set of modern commemoratives in the government packaging. The Dolly commemorative is about the only one I'd like to buy encapsulated.
I think it's instructive to compare the Dolly design to the mint's efforts. The mint's work falls so short... In my opinion, the last great mint engraver was Elizabeth Jones. I don't think anything produced by the mint since her (abrupt) departure holds a candle to her work.
BAJJERFAN, you likely?
Si! VERY NICE!
I was trying to get an example of a Wisconsin in each of the 4 double holders, but never thought that I'd ever have a shot at the doily version so I kinda regret passing on these two! Not sure if a 2.5 example even exists.
