Well done.
And you're not taking the cheap route.
Nice grades on those coins.

Looking good, SVI! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Being a North Carolinian, I'm naturally going to say the Roanoke is my favorite and the only one I have in a coin coffin. I'm sure the Isabella set you back a couple of bucks. I've always been a fan of the Art Deco eagle on the Bridgeport and the ship on the Delaware. Every time I see the Pilgrim and the Indian on the Rhode Island greeting one another by "slapping 5s" I have a good laugh!

Most impressive, congratulations! My favorite would be the Connecticut because of that Deco eagle, which is just a triumph.

The Wisconsin is especial nice. Agree! From these 11 coins, the Wisconsin is my favorite. See below the additional photo. Unfortunately, both photos do not properly reflect the coin. In reality, the reverse (arm) is white and the obverse (badger) is evenly toned with the light-gold color. Very nice and attractive in hands.  |

These are so very nice! I really like the York with the Wisconsin being a close second. Can't wait to see your progress.

Being from wisconsin and it being the only coin that was toned I leaned towards the wisconsin issue. That was until I saw the detail on the Illinois that makes the others seem as if they were designed by highschoolers. That Illinois has all the details of a made for circulation issue.

Good thread bump!
From a historical perspective, I have to go with the Lincoln/Illinois, though the Isabella and Boone are both a close second.
Artistically, the Bridgeport eagle is a real beauty.
Politically, the Bridgeport is my favorite, it is living proof that there is a "sucker born every minute".
