This seems like as good of a place as any to post these. They are inexpensive and I just love reverse proofs.
Beautiful coins Greg! Were these issued in a regular Nadian Proof set? I don't know much about reverse proofs from other countries, but sure like the style!
Although it may be the photo but, the 1911 Liberty Nickel has a laser-like proof appearance similar to our current proof coinage. Lovely coin!
Regarding the CA Half in post #260. I've owned several of these, so I'm pretty sure it's a fake. It didn't look right at first glance, so I looked closer and found the, I believe diamond shapes, on each side of the word, JUBILEE are missing. After noticing this, I noticed serveral other things were off in the details of the devices. I did email Ripley about it and she's looking into it.
I hope you are wrong, but if you are right, good eye! It's rare to see women that are actually attractive on coins. She's a beauty.
