From what I can tell by your pictures the one on the left appears to be a nice cameo example. Too bad they all didn't come like that.

It's attractive, too bad there isn't more cameo on the obverse side. I go through
thousands upon thousands of coins looking for the best cameo ones, IMO it's a segment of collecting that a lot of people still don't pay much attention to, which is good for us searchers. If you're very patient, you can assemble 1960's/1970's sets that approach the quality of modern proofs.

And a little more directly on topic, a 1975 25c from a DD set...

man those are some fine looking coins

the goal of finding 60's and 70's is lofty but doable ( is that a word) with patience

JG, I am not selling any UHC's at the moment, unfortunately. They are "worth"
more to me than whatever dollar amount I could hope to get for them.
Plus, it's way more fun to try and find them yourself.

pennylover - they are all PL's. My PL searching has been for something more
specific, the UHC's have just been a nice fringe benefit.
