Good day for me today. Got a toned Morgan for my short set. Got a comm for my type set. Also added a 55 proof set to my 1964- I also got my first ancient just to have. Oh happy day!
On Ford's Theater Day, here's a 1979-S proof Lincoln with the Type 1 mintmark (the small, blobby "S"). As usual, color is washed out by the cheap USB camera.
I like this Wolves series I know I have the first year set 1 & 1/2 oz 2006 I think it's in safety depot boxes
Ordered two (2) Thurs April 9th, first day of issue. Received today, April 14th. Off today to NGC for Buffalo Label, First Releases slab.
I agree. I normally stay away from bullion but these ones always get me. I love a good wolf. So majestic and yet unknown.
Picked up these really cheap. Much happier with my Licinius II then the older one I owned. The patina was too heavy and obscured the portrait. This one is a deep brown so tough to get a pic but the portrait is all there,I really like it. Licinius I (308 - 324 A.D.)

R: PROVIDENTIAE AVGG, Campgate with 6 rows of bricks, Pellet in right field, SMHA in exe. 3.3g 19mm RIC VII Heraclea 29 (R2) Licinius II (317 - 324 A.D.)
