The coin that inspired this bullion design along with my thread on it: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/this-caught-my-eye.331132/ [IMG] [IMG]
And here are my pictures of the proof and bullion. You can somewhat see the hologram on the proof. Note that the proof comes in a box with COA...
Since 2009 Kazakhstan has produced a bullion coin called the “Irbis” (snow leopard). They were made in silver (1oz, 2oz, 5oz, and 10oz) and gold...
I would go with Short+ :D
Nice! MS 64 seems like the right grade to me.
It used to be that all coins with TrueView images could be found on Coinfacts and then certain people, including Laura from Legend, convinced PCGS...
Congrats! You picked up a more difficult part of the set. I also agree there are nicer classic commemoratives in the series but this one is decent...
ASEs and moderns in general are a cool part of the hobby. Sometimes the US Mint makes it less desirable to keep up certain sets but for those that...

Here is the coin from 8/8/24 There is a strike-though on the reverse; it's not a scratch) [IMG]
An update from my second day, 8/8/24, at the ANA ~Again there wasn’t much of a line to purchase tickets or a crowd to get in a little after the...
Thanks! Hopefully you will eventually find the one that fits your set! In terms of ancients, there were several tables that were almost...
