Love the New Rochelle! I wouldn't have bid on the Iowa. Flashy but the copper spot spoils it.

 

Still, they're all great commems! Congrats!

Lance.

New Rochelle and Maryland are winners in my book. I could do without the others.

 

 

I agree but in addition to these two I also like the Texas.

I really like that Elgin and the New Rochelle appears to have a nice blush.

 

Ditto...

I would love to see better picks of the Elgin, as I bet the luster is killer. Finding these attractively toned is quite difficult.

 

I bet it's not. Elgin's rarely possess highly vibrant luster and are far more likely to display satin-like or frosty surfaces.

Thanks for the positive comments from (almost) everyone. Is the market for these starting to wake up from a decade or two of dead money?

Will post pics once rec'd.

I have not seen the general commem market wake up, though of course the uber-toned pieces have skyrocketed vs. other pieces.

True, which is why I like them! I like the Satin look
