I've not seen one of these posted here for awhile, so thought I'd share this little silver beauty. She's got a few nicks and dings, but the luster is good and there's some toning, too, around the edges that looks like what you see in a coin out of an album. Another coin for my 7070 (if I ever get around to starting one.)
Several die cracks on the reverse (adds character and interest, to my eye). Unfortunate gouge across the top of the shield, though that is barely visible to the naked eye. I like her, though, despite her faults.

Yes, I think I could see that coin in my collection. Unfortunately, hunter, you've got a good eye so I never will. :)

All kinds of character. The reverse gouge only adds to the appeal, in my opinion; it says the coin has had honest use, if only a little.
