It's that time again. Show us your subtly toned beauties as well as your monsters.
I'll start with a few modern proof Jeffersons that I don't believe I've shown.

This guy was born in 1942, and this is his father's collection. I've been buying him out every week the last few weeks, and am actively selling more stuff to buy more.
Unfortunately, a TON have horrible cabinet friction. It's so upsetting. It makes me wanna die thinking how PCGS is gonna grade some of them. Like I can feel a panic attack starting just writing this, ugh.
The 22 piece collection is available here, with two 1915 and 1909-D $5's. I'm limited to Ebay listings because I've been submitting them the moment they arrive at the post office. One batch is being imaged tho!!!

I'm so glad to have liquidated my modern gold. AGE are some of the most disgusting coins. I turned the rest into maples or silver. Blegggghhh.
And I paid $600 for this other 1912. I just had to have it. I'm excited to know how both grade out. I have no regrets on what I paid. They're gonna look great side by side and i am keeping both.
A lot of these pieces are years with rare colors, like most issues were green but occasionally popped as orange. Or one year is generally pale yellow with the occasional green. Theres one year splashed with orange but normally they're yellow green. I wanna spread it on toast.
All this collection has been is those "exceptions". I'm in heaven.
And not just that, someone bought a coin today and it's my first time having next to nothing in a piece like that, so basically a couple free quarter eagles.. been a few good days here, collection-wise.
Love those blues!

There are a TON of good looking coins in this week's thread. I looked up a couple of commemoratives ( @CircCam 's Pilgrim and @SiriusBlack 's Isabella) and they seemed woefully under-graded. They are truly beautiful.
Anyway, here is a pattern, J-846 (one of the uncountable many Standard Silver series), graded PR 64-RB and ex-Denali Collection:
I agree!! 🙂
A few more-
1916-D PCGS MS63
1937 PCGS PR66
1913 Var 2 PCGS PR66
RMR: 'Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich denn aus der Engel Ordnungen?'
CJ: 'No one!' [Ain't no angels in the coin biz]
Both of these were struck in silver:
This is an original strike by Bolen himself, on a thick planchet -
This is a re-strike by John W. Kline, after he purchased the die from Bolen, on a thin planchet -
The rest of these were struck by John W. Kline, all on thin planchets:
Copper strike:
Brass strike:
White Metal strike:
(It's not colorful, but it completes the set.)

Your last post (the one after the two gold coins) was like the finale at a 4th of July fireworks display. At the end of the display, they always seem to fire off one stunning fireworks immediately after another. So, too, with your post: One stunning coin immediately after the other!
Thank you @Mark
Much appreciated, Joe
