This is a 1967-P Alaska Purchase Centennial Set (#32 of only 100 minted in sets with the platinum medal). All are edge numbered 32 and have the "P" Philadelphia Mintmarks. This is a very scarce set now because most sets with platinum were melted when the price hit over $2,000 an ounce early in 2008 for a few months.
These are official U.S. Mint National Commemorative medals and are listed as Turner #19 or Dean D-1967-3abc. The platinum medal is already on the way to our hosts for grading which is why the photo is without the plastic capital holder.
Wow, I love those early ones
What is the one on top? A pattern or something? I've never seen one of those It's neat!

It's a California fractional gold piece... 25 cents back in the day. It's just amazing how small it is. There's a half Dollar fractional too...
Just arrived. This is the second cudded late die state of the rare 1798 BB-110 dollar. Different state than the BB-110 I already have. So it is also a keeper, despite the holes. (Looks Fine Details to me.) The other one of which I am aware and is commonly known is the really nice one that I believe was handled by Julian Leidman and David Perkins.

That’s amazing! Looks like it was nailed to a wall in a barn or something like that, gives it character!

Another recent pick up. An attractive 1876-CC FS-801 DDR in an old ANACS small white holder, from the short period when they didn't assign Net or Details grades. I'll just go with AU50 Details. The obverse field is scratches, but presents well nonetheless due to the toning.
Just got this little gal in the mail from @basetsb
How am i supposed to take good pics of something so tiny!!?

After decades of searching for an attractive birth year nickel I'm thrilled to say I have added this one to my collection.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting,

Picked up this beauty for my (slowly) growing set, definitely loving the color.
What set are you building?

Mr_Spud
Been looking for a nice 1910 to go with my half eagle collection for a few years. I happy to say the search is over. Say hello to my new addition.
This is a match for my first 5 ouncer from last month. This was extremely inexpensive 😉🙀🦫
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Another "cleaned" coin for my typeset... ok it's pure eye appeal in my book

And yet there are SOME PEOPLE here that say that this doesn't happen, getting a coin for .99 cents
Read it and weep guys!

First coin at the top of the tube.
This proof pick up:
goes well with this recent circulation strike pick up of the same die pair:
The pair is not at all easy to locate too.
