Very Nice, I really like the obverse on these. These coins are tough to photograph and you've presented some great pictures here, thanks.
Cheers, Bill

I was looking over this dollar tonight and noticed that the chin and arm are doubled on the voyager as well the 3 and 5. Die cracks off LLA in dollar. The coin also has a very heavy ghost. Funny what you miss sometimes.

Quote: Choice best describes it No, "gem" does, as that's the accepted term for a 65. "Choice" is the accepted term for an MS-63. I know you know this, so I am not sure why you said it.

No, its 63-Brilliant UNC., 64-choice brilliant UNC and then gem. I think choice would be an acceptable term for the grade though. Either way, he said his nu!medical grade.
Feel free to call me Will.

Since I am an old timer there might be a problem with semantics here. As I stated , my thoughts are the coin is an easy MS65. Therefore in today's terms GEM UNC. Old duffers like me still say things like " That is a very choice coin". This one is a very choice piece. Indeed a lot of us who are longtime coin geeks will use words rather than numerics to describe coins. It sucks getting to be an old geezer  .

Fair enough Pacific. The overlap in terminology in this hobby is enormous. I might call something "superb" looking at a 66 grade, when in reality it's the term for a 67+ grade.
