    Scrumptious, scintillating, super and many more adjectives come to mind FFL. I bet these are an absolute delight to see in hand as well. Congratulations!

    Nice coins!

    Interesting how the PCGS images show more cameo contrast than the CAC images. Which images are more accurate?

    Thanks for sharing those - super nice!

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    Love those "REFLECTIVE" mirrored surfaces. They challenge the reflective surface on a posting I just made over on the Friday Photo Thread:

    (The challenge was to find the darting Koi as filmed in my recent early April morning visit to Hakone Japan's Sangetsu Traditional Japanese Pond Garden with its stunning reflective mirrored waters.)

    Feel free to share a full minute of peace and serenity as one watches and listens to the slightly rippling waters as they reflect the majestic trees which extend beyond the moss covered stones on the shore.

    Here are the 68 seconds of rivaled "REFLECTION:"

    Those coins must be so delicate. Definetly a cotton gloves coin. I would even dare touch it. You'd need to have cushions set up in case it were to drop. All those years before holders that coin had to be treated with the utmost care.
    Thank God for TPG holders. Now it's safe and sound.
