And I do put them all in one place, here on these forums! For more classification, I am thinking about setting up some PCGS Registry Sets.

I haven't bought anything in a while but I did just acquire this coin. I have another one in sights for a trade but haven't finalized it yet. My buying is definitely getting more deliberate and slowing down some.

I know this is an inexpensive coin, and only a 63, but I just love it. Maybe not for everyone with the bigger hits, but it has pretty clean fields and it is P/L in my opinion.

Very nice pick-up for the price!

The "reverse" has the inscription commemorating the ANA's 100th Anniversary. It says, "With Compliments of the French Mint" so I am guessing this was minted by the Paris Mint and given to ANA dignitaries during the 1991 ANA Convention in Chicago?
