Wonderful Wild Card! But I just got this in the mail a few hours ago, so I'm returning to the mid-1930's commemoratives. I'm originally from the...

This proof [ATTACH] has now been replaced with this one. Cost, about $1.50. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is a 2001 Proof strike that should, in theory, be the best coin that can be made, with specially prepared dies, polished planchets, and...
Wouldn’t that mean we have to re-evaluate all the mint reports back through 1909? In the meantime I’ll try to corner the market on all high-end...
This is not a perfect 1972-S proof. There are, however, some interesting toning effects. The reverse is almost uniformly toned with a layer of...
I gave up and ordered a new 1969-S proof to replace the one in my last post. I'll show it off when I get it. It was only a couple of bucks, so I...
I probably should replace this 1969 proof, but I like the color. But that blob on the reverse looks terminal to me. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@BadThad, those are some nice 1967's! With 1968 the Mint restarted the Proof program. The minting of proofs was moved to the San Francisco mint,...
1967 marked the third, and final, year where the mint produced only Special Mint Sets in lieu of proofs. The 1965 and 1966 examples I have just...

I was inspired to try an experiment. I have a number of 70s, 80s, and 90s Lincoln proofs that have fingerprints. I envision the prior owner...
I am no longer "lacking only 1904". My small 1900-1909 set is complete. Hmmm, what next... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
There isn't any exotic rainbow on this one, just an interesting pewter-colored cast with a metallic sheen.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think I got confused. I was watching two coins at auction, this MS63 and a 1904 proof. I started thinking this was the proof so I pushed my bid...
1966 was the second year that there were no proofs, but this is from a Special Mint Set. The planchet has some flaws below the Lincoln Memorial...
I am getting close to completing a short set of IHCs. I have Philadelphia issues from 1900 through 1909, lacking only 1904. This just arrived and...
I thought maybe I could grandfather in your mis-post by bridging it into an Indian Head sequence. Well, I tried. This completes the Philadelphia...
Like this? Just arrived. [ATTACH]
