Man I remember that LA Olympic coin on ebay like 15 years ago. Beautiful coin.
I did buy it on ebay. Guy had a huge number on it for a long time. Ended up getting it for half his asking price but still a lot of money for a modern.

I have gone off in new directions. The first three Norman kings of England. All of these coins are true "pennies."
William the Conqueror, ruled 1066 to 1087.
His son, William II, better known as "Rufus" ruled 1087 to 1100. This coin is a "wow!" The usual quality is very low.
And his youngest son, Henry I, ruled 1100 to 1135. This coin is also a "wow!" for a Henry I coin. Henry probably arranged to have his brother Rufus die in a "hunting accident" so that he could become king. He was high tailing it to London to grab the royal treasury and the crown before his brother's body was cold.
Very nice Bill! I love the look and history of coins from the era and region.

Yeah I remember not buying it for that reason. But great coin.
Here is my Liberty Double Eagle CAC type set. From the posts above I seem to be playing in AA ball. I hope to progress to the big league some day. This in my first post
Hey pcgscacgold...
RE: I seem to be playing in AA ball.
I don't think so, you are at least AAA. Your '76-S is very strong for the grade. I don't recall ever seeing a 62+, but yours qualifies from that TV photo. The 98-S is also a looker, very clean. Nice set of 3.
