So I was lucky enough to be part of messydesk's almost dirty dozen to be selected for free coin imaging offer posted on the BST on Jan 13th.
I procrastinated a bit as I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted imaged.
I mentioned a few things and messydesk selected Pattern's, so I sent him a duo of 1870 Standard Silvers that I've owned forever.
Both are in rattler holders that have never had proper imaging to show what they actually look like... until now!

1870 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-900 / Pollock-1015, R.5-6

1870 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-963 / Pollock-1059, R.7

Thanks
I have a J-900 MS66* NGC mate for this lovely toned coin.
Mine is a gorgeous center targeted coin of blue, gold,lilac,cobalt and reddish orange iridescence from rims to center. Fully mirrored.
Mine was bought out of Jan 2004 Pre-Long Beach Superior Pre-LB Auction Lot 3421. This coin stimulated me to collect the toned Standard patterns of 1869 and 1870.
Sorry no pics but when I dig it up I will send it to Broad struck.
