Thank you! I was hoping to get the hat trick and was wishing for the WAM

 

I don't think so, 120 is for an 1827. It's going to be one of overton 101-118, somewhere in there.

 

Since this is a proof, seeing all the steps is the norm, unless the coin has been mistreated. Finding all the steps on MS Jefferson's is another story.

 

The strike on this beast is phenomenal, trust me it's amazing....

 

What a beautiful 1962 proof robec!! The color is just as eye appealing as it gets....And your image is just amazing.....Joe

Got this in a raw lot off ebay a week or two ago. It has really nice details but I'm not sure what's going on with the damage. Is it from cleaning? It looks like someone stabbed it with a sharp tool or something. IE: It doesn't look like the metal wore away. Loving everyone's coins!

 

Just back from a little vacation and these were waiting for me at the post office, also my 2012 ASE Proof coins. I still think the "97 is undergraded...think I may crack out and send to PCGS

 

Im quite pleased with this one. Update! It passed CAC today! Woo Hoo!

 

not really new in the strictest sense as this is actually one of the first coins I ever got, but it's also my only American coin outside of my pressed penny collection and one of those presendential dollar coins I got from a vending machine on the way to NYC one time, so oh well.

 

Not really new to me but probably new to most other folks.

Mintage = 150

Mintage = 200

A Product of Daniel Carr to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the US Mint at Denver.

 

wow, those are cool. I never knew those even existed. That's quite the intricate design work on them. Good find!

 

Nice one

Some of you have probably seen me post a few of the Heraldic Art Medals here before. The series consists of 60 regular issue medals, produced from 1959 through 1978 and released in regular intervals of three medals per year. Of the 60 regular issue medals, 13 contain the image of a horse. Over the past year, I have picked up 8 of the 13 medals, with 6 of those 8 being graded and encased in NGC holders. This is my newest addition, and one that I've been looking forward to getting for a long time.

This is medal #17 of the series, issued in 1964 to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Founding of St. Louis, Missouri. The reverse of the medal prominently features King Louis IX of France on horseback (more commonly known as Saint Louis). The image of Saint Louis on horseback is based on the statue by Charles Niehaus entitled Apotheosis of St. Louis which was completed in 1906 and has been a landmark and symbol of the city of St. Louis for over a century.

 

wow thanks for the history lesson on these medals. I loved reading it and I love being able to look at the medal itself. It's gorgeous.

 

Uhhh - This needs its own thread, Pal.

 

With his pictures of his medals!

 

I just got this coin back from PCGS for a re-grade and a new TrueView photo. The grade didn't bump at all on the 2nd submission, but the new photo was a big improvement.

This coin was originally an NGC PF67 BN -- and when I crossed it to PCGS it dropped 2 grades to PR65 BN. I thought PCGS was simply punishing me for submitting this in an NGC slab, but the re-grade confirms this is a PR65. (It's interesting how much NGC tends to overgrade copper - or how much stricter PCGS is with copper).

This coin is a rarity to the extreme -- it is the only known BN graded slabbed PCGS Lincoln Proof from the year 1975.
