    Sensory overload! <3

    Is that a near complete Silver 1860 Proof Set mixed in there?

    Awesome display of coins.

    @Eldorado9 .... You have an amazing set of proof coins. While I am not a tarnish fan, I do appreciate quality coins.... and yours are exactly that. Cheers, RickO

    Not quite a toner but definitely looks
    cameo. Still eye candy though 👍
    I am absolutely in love with seated liberty proofs

  • Eldorado9Eldorado9 Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @markelman1125 Totally agree about loving Seated Proof coins....They really are gorgeous, and comprise a whole world of numismatics. Thanks for posting!

    @ldhair Awesome Halves buddy!

    First coin I ever really fell in love with was a mind-blowing 1886 50c in PF-67. It was in an old NGC holder, and probably encapsulated around the early 90's. The color was ridiculous.....Had concentric rings of gold, blue, and bright orange turning to red.....Oh Man, why did I sell that! I need to find a pic!

  • Eldorado9Eldorado9 Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @willy THAT is just beautiful....LOVE it 100% Man, I'd buy those all day long....except for the fact they aren't available!

    Guessing it's complete, but the 3cs isn't shown, since it's not Seated. Fantastic coins, all!

    Holy crap!

  • willywilly Posts: 342 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I loved that matched 1860 proof set. I think matched sets like these are some of the coolest items one could purchase. Just need a larger wallet than I presently have on me.

    I'm not a big fan of the seated design, but those are awesome!

    This is a great promotion for True Views. Perfect examples of coins that should always be imaged by Phil and his cohorts.

    Images like those in the OP just can't be done through slabs. Glare from slabs always interferes with capturing color on highly reflective coins.

    It would be criminal to not praise the coins themselves. Absolutely stunning! Breathtaking. @Eldorado9, you lucky guy.

    The OP's coins do NOT suck :#
    You would have to work very hard to convince me the 1860 proof set is not intact from the time it left the Mint.

    @ColonelJessup- Thanks Colonel, yup they certainly look like a matched set.....PS, I CAN handle the truth.
    @edwardjulio -Those are my kind of coins...Just amazing color. Beautiful.
    @lkeigwin-Thanks for the kind words! Some great coins in this post!

  • AuldFartteAuldFartte Posts: 4,597 ✭✭✭✭

    @Eldorado9 - That entire proof set is the most incredibly beautiful set I have ever seen! Now I have to find just one proof seated toned half! I could stare at yours for hours!

    Thanks Buddy! Now, as far as finding a Seated Half in proof.....Very difficult these days, as all the good one's seem to have disappeared. Best bet is just keep an eye on the auctions and Collectors Corner. When good one's, that are reasonably priced come available, the get snapped up pretty quick! Best, Eldo.
