Your Isabella is a beautifully original example. Well over half of remaining examples have some distraction, such as hair lines. That is a nice one. It took me nearly 4 years to find one I liked. They are a challenge.
I really like yours.

Thanks Guy's! A little bit of the back-story on the Isabella. About a year and half ago I spotted Her in My dealers 2x2 box and thought, WOW,I would really like to have this one. But, at the time, I just couldn't pull it off. About six months later I asked for the 2x2 box, went through it...twice, but NO Isabella.  Oh well, it must have sold. Two weeks ago He told Me He had some coins He wanted Me too look at. He handed Me four coins. The first was a ~MS64-65 Three Cent Nickel, then a VF Capped Bust Dime. Next came the Five Cent piece and there She was. I had to stand there and act like I saw Her for the first time.  So after a couple of minutes I took the two coins above and told Him to put these two in the safe for Me. And I'd pick 'em up after the first of the year. So it does pay to be patient, and a little luck never hurts,either.

Quote: A little mini-hoard of quarters. Not high grade, but I love the old album / board toning on a couple of the SLQ's. Very nice!
