The 1870-S and 1902 were my grandmother's graduation gifts in 1914. I inherited them when she passed in 1976. I would like to have seen the 1902 when it was first struck, as the surfaces are somewhat reflective, rather than the usual satin surfaces.
I purchased this 1847 PCGS XF45 in a Teletrade auction in 2000, and have always felt that it was undergraded.

Lowly VF20...but a nice Dahlonega none the less.
That obverse looks a lot better than a 20.

Comments
My two cents: Planchet mark/defect not removed during the strike due to the incuse design.
QE’s are special:
Especially like the Classic Head design + NO gold!
