The River Hills Collection - All Types (PCGS) 的钱币相册
Yes, someone scratched a "2," or maybe it's someone's initials "HU" (I can't tell which), onto the obverse. Maybe an ambitious toddler destroyed a family member's coin. Maybe someone thought it was funny to do without realizing it would be collected years later. We may never know why. But that detail is easily overlooked by the coin's overall condition. In hand it's vitually impossible to see without very VERY bright light. The details are wonderful and there is only some light striking in the "O" of OF on the reverse.

A touch of the original factory finish peeks through this mostly chocolate brown Indian Head cent. Good strike with clear "LIBERTY", headband definition, and hair definition. "9" in 1901 is a little rounded like maybe the date was re-punched, but rest of words are very sharp.
Good strike, subtle gold and blue toning on obverse. Full stars and kernels of left cob corn show.

I love all 1979 coins, so that's why I bought this. But my first-year-of-issue 1938-D Jefferson, graded MS-67, in an NGC holder is by far more impressive.

Beautiful red, green, blue, and purple toning that accentuates the devices on both the obverse and reverse. Nice luster overall. The very first coin I ever bought was a Barber Dime, so these are very special to me.
Pretty gold, blue, and green toning on the edges of both of obverse and reverse. It's also a really nice strike with good luster. Personally I think it's worthy of a Full Bands designation, but I think it's a pretty coin no matter what.
The America the Beautiful Quarters program, introduced in 2010, depicted national parks or sites through 2021. Five designs were released each year in the order that the parks were established. The decision to feature Bombay Hook was made in 2010, five years before the quarters were issued. The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest tidal salt marshes in the mid-Atlantic, was established in 1937. It received its name from the Dutch phrase "Boompjes Hoeck”, which sounds like Bombay Hook, meaning "little-tree point. A Blue Heron and a Great Egret are featured on the reverse, which are common birds in the summer. It was designed by Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.

The Walking Liberty is one of my favorite coin designs and this example's sparking luster makes it one of the standouts of my collection.

I knew I had to have this as soon as I saw it. I likely paid more than I should have for this, but the year, variety, and condition were all right for me. Building a collection that's personal to you and that you feel good about is important.

Has some light blue toning towards top of obverse. Otherwise a pretty basic Eisenhower dollar.

My first year of issue 1979-S Type 2 is much more exciting to look at, with blues and golds, but this example is more pristine.
