I recently went to the smithsonian and thought I would share this one. This was the best picture I could get with it being in the case its in and the lighting.
Here's some more info on what's there to see: Some nice pics from the Smithsonian coin collection! (an old CT thread) National Numismatic Collection of the Smithsonian Institution
I remember standing in front of all the nickels in at the Baltimore show (ana world's fair) in the mid-2000's.
My very own 11c..I will keep my eyes on it. A center piece of my coin collection. the Good News this one is existed. The BAD NEWS there's NO DUPLICATE! It is SUPER ULTIMATE UNIQUE! PRICELESS NOT FOR SALE NOW....
Yes, "unique" except I have seen a dozen or more for sale in the past 2 years, and they usually sell for around $700 or so. Give it up redwin.
Oh Lord, I hope all of the ultra preservationists notice how the coins are held in the display. Many scream when someone touches a common ASE with their bare fingers, not the equivalence of metal tweezers How much is the value of the '33 lowered ??
i got to see that seated proof set in Vegas. i forget the year. they had the leather presentation case to the side and all the coins from that set were slabbed PCGS. breath taking. what an honor. that was to see it.
