I have a couple of new arrivals from the Rauch auction in May. I like the crusty look on the 1602 in particular.

The other thing that I find interesting on the 1612 is the planchet flaw that runs top to bottom in front of his face. It is not very evident in the picture, but the crack appears to stop at the nose and then picks back up again below the chin. It looks like it might be a planchet stress crack perhaps?
