Larry, that sure is something.

 

Beautiful coins. The sitting liberty is really pretty.

 

Here are a couple more with a little different look than those generally posted.

A 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel, which is a matte proof issue so it does not have the blazing flash of brilliant proof coinage. This piece is especially nice because it has original skin that has toned in an attractive manner-



This second proof is a 1953 Franklin half dollar, which of course was produced with the brilliant proof production method. However, some of these early 1950s brilliant proof coins were issued with satin characteristics. This is most readily seen on 1950 issues, but also appears within the 1951-1953 era, though with less frequency as the years got later. What appear to be hairlines on the coin are actually die polish lines-

 

These were the first two quarters I bought when I started collecting. Still nice 10 years later.

Jello, here's how I read that post: "Here's a proof Franklin, and another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and a proof Kennedy." Still, beautiful coins.

Ripley, you must know I have a soft spot for the bicentennials. I have 2 Mint proof sets from that year.

 

I like blue too..

 

I am pretty sure not proof.

 

Wow! Electric blue proof nickels. Mighty purty.
