Thanks for the replies. I don't mind the toning on it. It gives it character.
I'm 53 and have been collecting since middle school. I caught the bug in the coin club in school. For a long time, I concentrated on error coins, but also collected anything that caught my eye. A while back, I sold all of my silver to a friend and got rid of most of my error coins. Life got in the way of collecting and the only thing I worked on here and there is my collection of Lincoln wheat cents. Most are raw in a Whitman folder with a few semi keys (1914-D and 1931-S in slabs). That set is almost complete. I don't think I'm going to bother with the 09-S VDB or the doubled dies.
Recently, the bug bit me again and I decided to ease back in with some recent PCGS MS-69 Silver Eagles. So far, I have the 2022, 2021 (both types), the 2020 and am waiting on a 2019.
The photos were just taken with my Samsung Galaxy tablet under the daylight lamp on my nightstand. It does have a great camera on it.
