I bought this from Larry Shepherd back in 1993. Here are 3 images taken respectively by Laura D., Kryptonitecomics, and Lablover. I like all 3 images, but this is a coin that definitely needs to be seen in hand. It is graded PCGS MS66 and is certainly clean enough to grade a 67. In talking to Larry recently he agreed that it is clean enough to 7, but said that for whatever reason PCGS didn't like the black gunk on Commems (see the G in Pilgrim on the reverse) and would be unlikely to upgrade.

Anyhow, I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    one of the classic commems in my 7070 set is the Pilgrim coin. I like the look of the coin

    Gorgeous Pilgrim, SkyMan, love its toning! The Pilgrim is one of my favorite commem designs, thanks to all who posted them. I have a 1921 Large Hat variety that I purchased from Larry Shepherd, any interest in seeing it?

    That is a really beautiful Pilgrim. I think the Pilgrim is one of the nicest commems. I'll throw mine out here even though it is in a different league than yours.
