    I just discovered this thread and couldn't resist bumping it! Here are two I've never shared before:

    Got this from a DLRC auction recently. This isn't my series, and I didn't need this for any of the sets I'm working on, but I've never seen one like it before and had to have it. PCGS MS66FB — Photo credit is DLRC; eventually I'll send to PCGS for a TrueView.


    Still have this one, and I’ve still never seen one quite like it! I did indeed send it for a TV which better (but not fully) captures the deep royal blue color it has in-hand under light.

    I don’t own any but I can’t think Mercury Dime without thinking how much DLH paid for this one

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    I'd label it the crescent moon. Very nice

    Haha the most remarkable one I have ever witnessed. Someone got a little carried away with the “BID” button imho.

    I call this one the "wounded forehead".

    @Shurke that’s a very attractive example and the exact look I’d be going for if I were to build a set of these

    This gotten at European auction last year. Scintillating lustre in hand. Poor iPhone pictures as there are minor toning streaks that appear as scratches - they are not. I looked under a variety of lights and angulation and can not find hairlines.

    Well, just Love coins, period.
