There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.
Thank you, Eldorado9!
Darkstar, Gorgeous cameo 3CS! And it's an 1861, which is a very rare date.
I'll put up the 1861 Half Dime to keep the 3CS company.

LOL - flooding the thread like a boss! I'll run out of coins soon enough. This one is PR64 DCAM. Needs better photos taken at some point.

One of my favorite designs-
One of my Favorite quarters. This coin is a Pf-65 Cam. Great example of the date and the grade. I've seen many 67's that don't have the eye appeal this coin does.
And one more (very old photos)
Well would ya know... all three that I've posted came from @MFeld, and they ain't going anywhere.
66CAM. It's my Shield Nickel No Rays coin in my type set.

Here's a few more matte proofs to go along with the 1913 var two I posted. The last two were picked up as business strikes.
One of the perks of cherry picking raw proofs is that you get to do fun things like this. My apologies in advance if this gives anyone a heart attack, it was acetone'd immediately after and no coins were harmed in the filming of this video!
Turn the volume up if you want to hear what flipping a proof coin sounds like in slo-mo!

Another fun one (that I did not flip!)

Would a “so-called” proof count?

Does this one count? 1940 w/Reverse of a pf.1938
