    Very nice! Your reverse is nice and clean and seemingly well struck, showing off all the imagery clearly.

    I like it. The surfaces appear to have a nice glow about them.

    Beautiful coin. It shows the true detail of this issue. The obverse is a little "crowded", but that's still OK with me.
