Owner's Comments

We had a tough time deciding which of three beautiful MS66 examples to put in the set. The first was the Church-Hugon coin, which features fantastic pale mint green and blue toning on the obverse, but also has an obverse pinscratch and a weak strike on the reverse. That coin was in the Sunnywood set for two years before we replaced it with the present specimen. Then along came the Dale Friend specimen, with beautiful secondary toning, and just a few small lines and marks on the cheek. We were tempted to make a switch again, but instead we stuck with the present coin for its cleaner surfaces. The coin is pleasantly toned, although not quite as colorful as either the Church-Hugon coin or the Friend coin, but overall we gave it the edge. Sometimes you just can't have everything in one coin, and it becomes difficult to make a choice !!
