Very cool popout coins Todd. Acutally picked up a couple of more MPLs today at the local coin shop. These two are even better than the three I posted the other day. I really love these things, too bad they cost so much!!! 1909 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent PCGS PR66RB 1914 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent PCGS PR66BN
You must have some pretty deep pockets to buy those high grades! Just beautiful MPL's. I love that 1914, nice toning.
That is a very sweet 1909 Lincoln. I picked up a couple of half crowns for about 1/2 melt. They came in yesterday. Who does not like Suttttterrringggg George ???
Been searching for this one for a long time. Finally pulled the trigger last week. Now all I need is the 1916 SLQ to complete the series. I might have to wait awhile on that one.
Got four today. These are the two with pics. Lynchburg MS66 Wisconsin MS65 I've heard people bash the Wisconsin but I like the design. Reminds me of baking soda. And badgers are just cool. [FONT=arial, helvetica]Cornelius Vermeule, writing in 1971, was no admirer of the coin:1 [/FONT] [FONT=arial, helvetica]"Like the Old Spanish Trail, the coin of 1936 that marks the hundredth anniversary of Wisconsin's formation as a territory smacks of amateurism. The models were the work of an art student at the University of Wisconsin... This half dollar of the United States is, as a work of art, little more than a high school medal of the dullest variety. As a visual experience, it ranks with some of the worst local-society or small-occasion medals which have a timelessness if only in the mediocre level of their art."

That and rice & beans for the next year....... Nice pickups Clay. I've always admired that Badger too.
Claygump - nice commems - they're addictive 900fine - that Nero is AWESOME!!! RaceBannon - I love SLQs too and that one is sweet. Picked up a couple Peace - 2 common date MS-64s and a raw 1921 - amazing that all 21s were made in just 4 days. The shield just caught my eye.
When I get our camera back I'll post some picts but i just got a very nice 1884 O Morgan plus my 2010 UNC set and the clad Army half today from the mint. I also bought several proof Jeff nickels today as well.
I just checked CAC for the pop report on this, and to my surprise Only 3 in MS: 1in64 mine and 2 in67
The peace was designed by an artist who won a contest for the new dollar design.It has not been used elsewhere - I also think it's one of the most beautiful coins the U.S. has ever had.
