@clackamas That is an amazing 1857-S. I hope to upgrade my 64+CAC sometime but not sure I will get to the 66+ you have. Thanks for sharing a remarkable coin.
My only true patter coin. Christian Gobrecht designed this piece at about the same time as he was working on his much more famous silver dollar. The Secretary of the Treasury asked for this coin over the objections of the Mint Director who thought that small gold coins reflected poorly upon the nations that issued them. Obviously the Mexican silver eight peso piece provided inspiration for the obverse design.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
My oldest gold piece to date. I had the piece below sent to PCGS and it bumped to an MS62 and sent back to CAC for a sticker. I don't have a new photo of it, but below is the TrueView with the new cert #
Some people think that a gold coin from the Philadelphia Mint must be common. This 1939 quarter eagle isn't.

Some great coins in this thread, glad to see it revived. My incomplete $5 indian set so far.... all 64 cac. Pics taken at same time / same lighting.
Me too! Great place to window shop. I've been slow to pull the trigger lately, home projects, etc.

My new gen 1’s.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Usually I think of the slab as something that protects the coin from me. In this case, it would be the opposite.
I like the phrase grit and service
