Issaquah Collection

关于此套币: This collection seeks eye-appeal that balances the dimensions of luster, strike, and unabraded surfaces: all three aspects must combine equally, and none is sacrificed to emphasize another. Each coin must look attractive not only at arm's length (first impression), but also under close scrutiny with a loupe. Furthermore, original patina is preferred over dipped pieces, and "as minted" flaws (such as die clashes, die cracks, die polish lines, strike doubling, etc) must be minimal. For Peace Dollars, these constraints present quite a challenge ... but the results are beautiful to behold! Many thanks to Mike Printz (of Larry Whitlow Ltd) who provided these excellent images as well as great advice and feedback -- plus many of the actual coins.
