    I loved it immediately when I laid eyes on her. There's only a few attractive patterns through the seated quarter years that are what I would consider affordable.

    Many go for $5,000+ and that's just a bit too much for me to pay right now. I figured $2200 was more palatable and I sold some things to help cover the cost also.

    In fact I sold my favorite piece of gold to afford this one coin. I figured I could easily replace a generic $10 Indian over a pattern coin that was in reach and available right now. This coin has a population of like 13, with only 3 being higher (in this metal composition, probably 50 or so pieces across all metal and strikings).

    The other thing too is that pictures just can't capture the beauty of this coin. I think I would need to send it over to Robec for some true view style images to make it show it's true awesomeness.

    1869 proof reflect.jpg Alright...finally decided on my 1800s proof. With the help of ebay bucks, I picked this one up for well under 400. Plus it has a very low mintage with only about 600 pieces struck! Nice PR64 as well.

    I actually like CN3s. They near about always have cool clashes.

    Here are the 1942 PDS Washingtons for the toner Dansco set I'm putting together. Finding raw reasonably attractively toned Washies from the early '40's is difficult. I plan to upgrade the D and S to BU when and if I can find appealingly toned examples. The P was imaged by Shane Canup and the D and S were imaged by Bob Campbell. I think they did excellent jobs.

    An interesting fantasy coin, design by Daniel Carr, struck in pure copper on an excessed Denver Mint coin press.

    Not only is it my first 20 Cent Piece, but this is the date I've wanted for at least 5 years. Pretty rare with only 14,640 minted and this one has semi proof-like surfaces. Due to some light surface hairlines it currently resides in an ANACS UNC. details holder, which afforded me the opportunity to acquire it.

    I have this 2007 D penny, it looks like a 3 under the 7, I could be wrong. If anyone has this seen this coin and may know something about it, I would appreciate it!!! image.jpg
