    My safe has six shelves with my coins all neatly packed in Tupperware boxes and neatly stacked within. All except for the top shelf. That is reserved for my wallet, checkbook, some left over prescription meds, magnifying loupes..... And the five or six coins that have my current interest. Seems the seated stuff has been on my top shelf of late. Forgive me. I only posted obverses for brevity..... What’s your current top shelf coins?

    How about you send them to me? You know, for safe keeping...

    Once again, I'm jealous!

    If I put my top coins on a shelf I'm afraid the shelf would break. :)

    Your top-shelf is quite a collection on its own, Randy!

    Where'd you purchase these? eBay? Auctions? Shows?

    C-B-D seems to have a connection for these gorgeous blast white ladies. I know three of these came from him. Maybe all four. The USA bar copper has been my lifetime dream coin and I have had my local dealer on the hunt for years. He found me a killer deal on this just last year. I’m not big on EBay. I would rather trade with folks that I know and trust.

    That's a pretty solid top shelf. My top shelf is just filled with silver rounds and the few gold sovereigns and roosters I managed to get before gold went too high for me.

    Nice coins Randy. While my safe has a top shelf, because I live hidden, deep in the mountain woods, I like to keep my favorite coins next to my chair and often pick them up and admire them during TV commercials. LOL

    I believe it was supposed to be Helios, imitating the coinage of rhodes. I believe those depicted the colossus of Rhodes.
