We're posting ancients up in here, or you just being ornery Mat?

 

Great looking coins... Hey GBroke, how about you find me some Ike's like these!

 

A few of those are going into my Dansco, and others are going to PCGS for my registry set.

 

I post them in this thread all the time. Many I post just for this thread only.

 

I must be bi-polar or something. My two collections are Kennedys and Late Roman Bronze, like they have ANYTHING to do with each other.

 

I wish. Coinguy-Matthew has them all!

 

Maybe he'll want to share the love then...

 

That 1959 is mighty fine...:high5:

 

A very special 1966 Special Mint Set. I set out to find one of each SMS coin for the year 1966, but colorfully toned. All the coins below are PCGS graded, and the grades are shown below each obverse. I was successful except I could not for the life of me find a colorfully toned 1966 SMS Nickel -- I had no idea they were/are so rare. I mocked up a digital version of the original SMS packaging in Photoshop and all the coins are PCGS TrueView photos resized to their correct aspect ratios. It turned out pretty cool looking IMHO.

 

That's a VERY nice bit of collecting there, WL!

 

I thought I had one that would fit really well in your grouping...but alas it was a 62 Proof, not a 66SMS. I have too many coins lol. Awesome set though and great work with the pic!
