Here is a 1980 Proof set I bought for my wife.

 

And finally a III Nickel that I need to redo but I figured I would share anyways

 

The price of gold & silver dipped again so I went shopping. I located this 1910-D Indian Gold Eagle graded by NGC at AU-55 with beautiful granulated surfaces and a bright yellow color. Not as much actual wear on this piece as it may look, I feel it's more of a weaker strike especially on the reverse than actual wear. I also purchased about 50 ounces of silver in the form of bars and maple leaf .999. I also located a VERY nice 1970-S target toned proof Lincoln cent from a good friend of mine. You all know him as Gbroke from this forum. I like Greg and is an astute collector if ya haven't figured this out yet. He's also VERY good with a computer. This other 1954 proof I owned for some time now but since I purchased this 70-S from Greg I pulled this one out and imaged it too.Thanks for looking....DEX

Hi Dexter the 1910 is a beauty, and 50 ounces of silver WOW!!!!! the Lincolns are just beautiful congrats. I hope you got a good price on the silver. I have been looking on ebay, and the prices over spot are just way to high. The funny thing is these prices are being set by the bidders. Thanks for sharing these great coins with us.....Alan

 

This is my new crown jewel of my Flying Eagle Cents/primary collection PR64 with bean. I've been on the hunt for a problem free example for some time and there wasn't one in the entire room at Baltimore and I believe there are only 35/10 in 64 at both services with 5's being double the money. I don't have many proof coins and this is my first US Pattern and at its price, this will probably represent my entire Large Cent collection! There is a bit of toning that I wasn't able to capture with a few quick shots. I must say my imagination flows just thinking about the possibility of these being chosen for everyday use instead of the Liberty Heads that were used. I imagine they were tabled due to striking issues and these were probably made in the medal presses at the time, or it was just on the eve of the small cents usage and dropped for that reason, maybe both reasons......I'm not sure but I'll have fun finding all that out.

Thanks, Matt

 

Congratulations! Definitely a crown jewel... I am envious

Beautiful 1855 PR64 pattern Flying Eagle! Congratulations!

 

Congrats on the pattern, that is truly an exquisite example!

 

Wow, nice, congrats

 

I held a large cent up to this coin and the pattern seems a few millimeters smaller in diameter. Interesting.

 

I wouldn't normally post a regular ole 1976 D Bi-Centennial quarter, however this one is simply the nicest one I have ever seen in hand.
It's hard to describe, but is has amazingly smooth surfaces, boomin luster and this beautiful lavender/blue hue to it.
It looks like a silver Bicentennial quarter.

 

I have a couple of these proof silver coins. I've had them in an old coin album ever since 1976 and they have taken on some serious color. Not rare at all but nice to look at.....DEX

 

I really think the quarter reverse is much nicer than the other Bi-Centennial bell reverse.
