The strike is very good on this coin, but the main reason I acquired this coin was its matte finish, as it exemplifies what a medal should look like, IMO.
Funny, bought off eBay as an AU. Very nice surfaces and just a mild patina over blast silver surfaces

Not the typical 23; no booming luster. This coin struck up with a more mirrored surface, I call it gentlemen's 23 ;)

Obverse makes this coin with beautiful evenly placed luster and nice mint bloom near Liberty's forehead. Obverse shows light die breaks and some luster breaks and cheek is exceptionally clean. Reverse is well..., solid.
Lucked into this one, originally in an older NGC holder. Looks high relief, especially the obverse, maybe first strikes or test strike? Absolutely zero orange peel, surfaces are silky smooth, nice rims. Kinda baffling and almost impossible when compared to regular MS peace dollars.

Bought this coin off of eBay originally housed in an OGH. Nice patina/skin on this coin.

This is one of my favorites of the set, just a beautiful satiny colorful glowing patina. Encased in an OGH.
Obverse strike is exceptional, but well, the reverse is typical... From the Larry Shepherd Collection (thx Mr. Shepherd) and L Shapiro, and PCGS for that matter for hosting long beach....

Raw from the Missourian back when I started this collection in 06. Has a mild hazy patina more noticeable on the reverse.

My irish charm, superfluous luster, just beams.... gotta love those old NGC slabs ;)

Nice original surfaces with a relatively think layer of old frosty skin. Been complemented on this one before when seen in hand.

Coin is impressive with surprisingly good luster for a 28P. Hard to find these with good luster. Seems like from 27 to the end of the series, the P mint wanted a more subdued surface than a lustrous one.
I think this coin has toned up even a bit more since I acquired it in 2010. This is one of the reasons I shy away from toned coins, because if you don't stabilize and preserve them, the toning will eventually turn black. Might take 100 years, but it'll happen.

Raw from the Missourian along with the 34-S. Both these coins look mint fresh.
