Been trying, on and off, to find a nice 1959 proof set with no results so I finally decided I'll just put together one myself. Won this on GC last week and it was in today's mail. (seems like most of the bullcrap in the pictures is from/on the holder)

Thanks Stef! It's a fun set to work on. Here's another one I picked up not too long ago. These three are from different provenances: Robert Adam, Tim Gabriele and the Midtown Collection, but it's nice to have them together now.
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.

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?
