I would hope this one coin is not the basis of the whole of my collection, I found it was pretty hard to get good close-up pics, the second picture is what the true color of the coin looks like in the flesh. I'll post more from the collection later tonight. all scratch marks are from the air-tights.

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing - now how about some closeups of the coins you did not post.

Therefore the coin may be proof-like, which unfortunately is not really proof-like because the proofs of that era (which BTW were only minted until 1916) are matte proof coins and wouldn't feature a mirror finish like the proofs of today but have an orange peel appearance to the surfaces.

Nice collection !, but if I might offer a suggestion to lose the rubber bands. Rubber bands have sulfur in them and are notorious for affecting coins. I see they are in holders, but even the holders are not air tight. In a small enclosed SDB , the effects could occur quicker.

I can attest to what desertgem is talking about and suggesting for you. In the past, I kept regular silver bullion 1oz coins in individual flips, bound in groups with rubber bands in my SDB, which is about the size of your SDB. The rubber bands held the flip close against the silver which resulted in striped areas of toning in that region that I attributed to the flip and rubber band materials. These were just bullion rounds and bars, not collector/valuable coins, but it was a lesson learned-- lucky that I didn't keep my coins in there at the time I was using rubber bands. Dump the rubber bands, very good suggestion.

That is a very diverse collection, thanks for sharing.
Looks like you have a bit more room to squeeze some more gold in. | |

One STRONG recommendation.
Remove ALL the rubber bands from the safe deposit box.
Coins and rubber bands don't get along together at all.
I believe they are synthetic rubber and sulfur is a significant component.
DEFINITELY not good.
Oops, I see that others beat me to this suggestion.
Great collection.
Keep it that way.
