It is MS64+RB. The first + grade I'd seen. Was fairly priced, so I went for it.

Nice additions.

Got this recently at auction. Wasn't cheap but I think it has good eye appeal.
It's a PCGS AU55, O-117 die marriage, which is common for that date.

ron6788 - "good eye appeal"? LOL! That capped bust half has GREAT eye appeal!!

Picked this one up last weekend. Hardly rare, but this is especially nice and as close to full red as you could want. That apparent wide arc in the left field is not there, must be some fluke of my terrible photography.

Nice very early Lincoln, Coinfrog. Are you sure that 'arc' isn't real? Looks like it could be a die line.

Lovely looking Lincoln.

Probably the last addition of the modern commemorative US coinage to date for me. I think I have acquired all those that interest me. This one was on the back burner for quite some time because of the high prices it fetches. The obverse is in my opinion, quite a nice design.
I broke down and bought it at a fair price. I bought it from the same guy I just got the Founding Jamestown from shown here. http://goccf.com/t/102046&whichpage=379#2682998
When Jamestown arrived, my suspicions were correct that the yellowish or dark areas were from the scanner beds. I expect this to be a really nice coin as well. These are listing images I tweaked a bit of the actual coin.




The tougher modern commemorative silver dollar, the unc version.
Mintage only 23,500
The 1996 Uncirculated National Community Service Silver Dollar was issued to honor the spirit of volunteerism in the United States. The coins were released at a time when the number of commemorative coin issues had dramatically increased, creating a backlash from collectors. This same year, Congress passed a new law stipulating that after the previously approved programs had run their course, no more than two commemorative coin programs could be approved per year.
The obverse of the Community Service Silver Dollar was based on a medal designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the Women's Auxiliary of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association. It was adapted by Thomas D. Rogers.
The reverse was designed by William C. Cousins.
The 1996 Community Service Dollar was issued in proof and uncirculated versions, both produced at the San Francisco Mint. The coins had a maximum authorized mintage of 500,000 coins, but sold very few, particularly for the uncirculated version.
