My most recent, I’ve been wanting to pick up an ‘02 DBH and this popped up. Such a scarce coin to find decent, and I love this date in general. Light coin gray, it’s not perfect but I think it’s pretty nice. My pics suck, as always, but interested in your opinions. Thanks.
Well might as well give this Doily another posting. Didn't think I would own one of these. Very few out there with a Green Bean. Also maybe one that is not so average.

Here is a group of some of my favorite Half Dollars.
Over the last year I've been building a 1964-70 Silver Business Strike, 8 coin Short set. Toned.
All are PCGS MS67+ with the exception of the '69-D, a 67. All pics below(condensed to one) are TV's from our hosts.
5 down, 3 to go for this set...

a few of my faves:
The ‘05/4 overdate is one of my favorites, along with ‘17/3.
I sort of think of this as a confederate coin….
