  Great coins! So nice to see the 1790s material with booming, original luster. Most of us are lucky to acquire even a lower grade circ. example of such coins. Thanks for sharing!

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

  #1 – I don’t care if she’s not original skin. I love her.
  #2 – She’s picturesque, that’s for sure. -My choice.
  #3 – Flamboyant. I bet she's a lustrous lady.
  #4 – Miss Originality.

  Was just thinking that. There has to be some impressive provenances for those.
