Been slowing down, but picked this up last week.
1940 Proof R38. Very happy to have picked this up.
How about another one?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Id be happy if I picked that up as well! Awesome coin for sure.
Should have put the grade -- it's NGC 66, and I think that it was a combination of the weakness at the jaw, and three carbon spots. One near the bottom left of the collar, one on the rim at the E of liberty, and the last in front of the mouth. They're slight and not distracting (to me at least), but you can just see them with the naked eye. Overall, though, the lack of haze and (very) subtle contrast give the coin a really great look.
Keets, I love the gold and blues on that coin.
Also, if anyone here wants to look for a different obverse pairing this is probably a good place to start:

It's really pretty, I was really glad to see one come up auction. It has exactly "the look" that I am going for with the 38-42 proof run (clean, haze free brilliant) which is harder than it seems. I definitely watch stephunter's auctions
Also, the coin on the bottom is PCGS PR67 with a green bean. It's been locked up in a collection since '04. It, and a 38 both went unsold on ebay late last year (I was not ready to spend the money at the time) but i got the sellers contact information and bought them both. They are both super nice and I wish the seller had a few more for me to buy.
