My Lib Nickel from Mr. Feld

I am a type collector and have started on a long journey to build a basic type set. Seeing this piece from Mark's e-mail, I promptly pulled the trigger because it quickened my pulse to see this coin's fiery colors - somewhat atypical from an often dull and boring series (IMHO). Mark's pics do a decent job of capturing the colors when one tilts the coin ever so slightly, but it's even more of a stunner in hand:

And for a bit of fun, here are the gawd awful Heritage pics for comparison:

Todd will be getting this one for photos soon.

So, do ya like my new piece too?
