Wow, those proofs! Love to see the old as beautiful as the new, and the new Apollos and reverses are extraordinary. When I first saw the footprint, I thought it was a huge hole in the coin! Took a while for the brain to see the image right. Here are a couple pre 64 ungraded proofs I picked up today, being sick of buying sets with no nice cameos. Seller's images. I will update with my own when they arrive. Gonna post these in the "What's it worth?" thread Think I did OK, wouldn't be surprised I didn't.
My newest, a first year design for the H10’s. Slightly rotated reverse. The toning looks as if it could have been made of gold.
37's are quite harder to find... you just don't find them ....they find you! And prices are higher ....mintage of 871,000 two varieties a small and large C. The 1837 seated aren't cheap neither......2 varieties on that one also.
Those rocket coins are hard to image. I used my flashlight reflector to image the obverse, the color was wrong so I converted it to a black and white. (PS I think I put the spots on it) The reverse I just took it normally. The Kennedy was no problem
Another win today was this 1865 IHC. it sort of reminded me of this 1876 centennial IHC carved in an 1876 IHC. would love to add a few more of these to the IHC collection.
Whoa, nice newp Paddy! I remember the centennial one and love it but that new one is another real work of art. It looks 3D. Awesome.
You guys keep posting these photos of the moon landing coins and I'm just going to have to go out and buy some for myself! They look pretty nice. Thanks for sharing! I also am drooling over that Kennedy. I can't wait to start my own set of those!
Here are some more new purchases: A choice Mint State 1909-D Half Eagle . . . A very high quality 1919 Walker . . . not one of those cleaned thingies. A Gem Mint State Sesquicentennial, destined for a TPG . . . A nice better date 1899-S Barber Dime . . . I think this coin is a toss up between AU58 & MS62 . . . A very scarce mint state 1912-S Half Eagle, also destined for a TPG . . . Hoping for a 62+ on this coin . . . and praying for a 63 (please, please, please).
