This thread should get pinned. For all time it should remain at the top as a reminder of joy born out of a time of uncertainty and despair.
I look forward to checking in with it all day, everyday, and it motivates me. Makes me wonder why there wasn’t already one like it up top?!

I agree with @50cCOMMEMGUY that it would be nice if this thread was pinned, at least for a while. During the 9-11 attacks PCGS pinned a number of threads dealing with the charity sale/auction of NY State quarters. The COVID-19 situation obviously differs from the terror attacks but pinning this thread does seem appropriate. @HeatherBoyd , any chance?

It's proof - the Type B reverse is a giveaway. It's not uncommon for the mirrors to be a bit lackluster on proof quarters of that era. It could be an artifact of the photos, as well.
Didnt wanna spend money on coins right now, but then this showed up. Condition rarity and seldom fully struck, couldn't tell myself no.
Seller's pics are pretty washed out

I'm in exactly the same position. Here is my second list of new acquisitions in this thread:
Still waiting to receive the newly purchased 1939 proof set. Logistical problems have delayed things.
Hopefully it will arrive by the end of next week. The delay in the delivery is annoying, but it will make it more enjoyable to actually get my hands on it.
Outhaul---Are you going to conserve it? If so, please show us the final results. Thanks.

I'm waiting for this addition to my small but growing type set to arrive and see how she looks compared to the pics. Used my ebay bucks to help lower the cost a little. Edited to add: Cover your eyes @Ricko
E-bay about 2 hours ago...Impulse item (MS65)
I'm spending way too much time on the internet. @boiler78
Being in the Pogue collection, that coin has huge historical significance.
It looks like it's in a brand new holder because of the prongs.

Here's my latest. Not sure when I'll get it.
Apparently Great Britain is taking this quarantine more seriously than most here are.
They charged my card and said, by the way, we have no idea when we will be able to ship it..
If that's not a 3D coin or Medal there will never be one! Nice!

This thread makes me happy during a stressful time. And it's fallen from the front page so I'm bumping it back, in the hope we get a LOT more posts!

I got this group in the mail yesterday. I like them.
My newly purchased proof set is in the USPS (registered mail) and is slowly making the trip to me.
Just purchased on ebay:

Cundinamarca 2 Reales for my denomination set. Ex. Eldorado
Latin American Collection
Here is a very nice 1856-s $10. The coin is semi-prooflike (it almost looks cleaned in my photos, which it is not)
