Cool set. I'm curious - what makes the 2014-D a different "type"? Is it just the hair?

@kbbpll,

It's meant to represent the 1971-Date Clad non bicentennial design. It just came to be that 2014-D is the cheapest date in MS-68

Nice set Grape a real feather in your cap!



That 1834 really shows the darker look as I thought it might have in the group shot. While it's still a gorgeous coin, that portrait shot on the white background just looked a bit juiced to me. I still can't believe I nailed that grade when you posted it. Your walker is also a stunner coin.

Thanks for sharing your half dollar collection with us.

Thanks WestCoin!

I anticipated it being darker in hand as well. From my experience most bust coins toned like this, and most Seated coins toned like this, are often somewhat dark without proper lighting. That being said it is very attractive all the same.

The walker is really nice, the toning is subtle but only serves to highlight the coin while the luster and strike really carry the coin. Considering I paid under sheet value for it I think I did excellent on it.

Also, pending a final coin being delivered I'll have another denomination ready to showcase next week, and a third denomination the week after. I'm definitely making progress.
