@FloridaFacelifter, you have displayed one hell of a collection ... this is the Bullowa 1795 Dollar? I haven't seen it in person, but based on the images, this may be my single favorite silver coin.

Yes it is the Bullowa/Pogue dollar, and the blue is amazing in hand. Catherine Bullowa said it was white when she put it in a blue case and placed it at the back of the safe 50 years earlier. I do not know the earlier provenance unfortunately but it was obviously cared for from the day it was struck. It is my avatar and one of my favorite coins.
These are absolutely awesome Eldo! You have a great eye and even better taste!
Thank you very much @luster for the kind words! I feel very lucky to have acquired these pieces, especially as this type of material is so hard to find in the present market!
