Nearly a Gem with swirling silver-white luster and a great strike.

Satiny white luster and a sharp strike with nearly mark-free surfaces. A wonderfully well preserved example of this better date.

Beautiful rich silver-gray surfaces with a subtle blend of soft gold, blue, and ruby hue. There are very few marks and none that are at all significant. The strike is nothing short of amazing for a date that typically shows a soft strike.

Blast white with choice surfaces that have just a few trivial ticks.
