Post a picture of a beautiful coin.

I haven't seen this thread for several weeks now and it is about time to do another one.
This is stman's new coin.
I had to post a larger image because it is one of the most beautiful classic proofs I have ever seen.
So post a beauty and we'll kick it off with this one!

lordmarcovan · October 22, 2002 4:25PM

This coin was in my "possession" for a few days, and just went back to Pinnacle yesterday.
I had it on approval and decided it wasn't THE coin for me. But it was very nice.

Thank you Oldcameoproofsguy for doing this. I'm sure folks are getting tired of this coin, but I wanted to get a good image showing pretty much what this piece looks like.

This is a PCGS 1897 proof 66. I paid decent money for it but mainly what the coin is worth for the grade. Not really any juice for the toning or color. I'm most pleased with this piece. Can you tell?

Edited to add, This coin you do not have to tilt around under a pinpoint light source to see the beauty of the color. Any light from anywhere will light it up!!!!! And the color is just a tad bit lighter than the image.

Thanks, Stman

stman,

You're just being modest, that coin rocks!

LM,

That coin is still sweet even though you returned it.

I have a feeling I'll like this one I just purchased. Haven't seen it in person yet, though:

(PCGS PR64 RD)

Nice 50-D Frankie there, FC57. Normally Franklins have to be CAM or DCAM proofs to turn my head, but that's a blazer you have there, I can tell.

oldcameoproofsguy · October 22, 2002 5:07PM

Frank,

Triple thumbs up on the Franklin trio!!!!!!

stman · October 22, 2002 5:10PM

Ok oldcameoproofsguy, I want to see some of those pr barber quarters. Don't be modest now.

goyankeez · October 22, 2002 5:27PM

Too Much!!! Too Much!!!

Now I'm gonna have to buy a coin.

goyankeez · October 22, 2002 5:35PM

From R&Is archive. IMO the most beautiful coin on their website.

oldcameoproofsguy · October 22, 2002 5:38PM

OK, twist my arm. Here's my 1893. I will be reshooting them in the next couple of days to hopefully get a little sharper images.

All mine are ugly, but heres one

Cam40 · October 22, 2002 6:46PM

I hope jom shows up with the rainbow 5c.1930P?
Super eye-appeal.

lordmarcovan · October 22, 2002 6:51PM

Ain't nothin' ugly about that 20-center, relayer. Not if you like toning. That's a popular look these days, y'know. So popular that some folks lose their heads over colored coins. What's the grade on that? Have you seen the black-and-white CAM 20c piece that anaconda had for sale recently? Wow! It looked almost like that monster goyankeez posted. (Though the coin he posted is a DCAM, no doubt).

OldCameoProofs, that's a Barber after my own heart, as you can imagine.

No she's not mine - but the topless beauty does have her charm doesn't she?

lordmarcovan · October 22, 2002 7:42PM

<< <i>No she's not mine - but the topless beauty does have her charm doesn't she? >>

Yes, she most certainly does, particularly when the last digit in the date is a 6 !!

FC57Coins · October 22, 2002 7:48PM

Must be something about those older women eh Lord?

darktone · October 22, 2002 9:16PM

All Gorgeous pieces!!

Here is one of mine....

Baldy · October 22, 2002 10:39PM

Don't have photos that I would consider posting. too small.

I am in the process of looking at a new camera for macro work
since it would work for my other passion.
Hope everyone does not mind my posting these non coin pictures.

Thanks all. Those are some really fantastics coins everyone has. I especiallu like stmans Morgan.
I almost shorted my computer from all the drool when I saw it.

My pretty coin:

Cracked out PCGS 63 (?!!!) At NGC

michael · October 23, 2002 8:20AM

now ui see irish mike post that monster fantastic toned morgan dollar well it is the finest i have ever seen!
and if not then top5% this coin is much better in person and is close to waht the coin really looks like in person! the coin is 1000 times better in person and it is really super pq 65 and it is a cameo! now here is another scan of the same coin showing the full cameo but darker along the rims but if you put both great points of both scans together you get the picture of waht this coin really looks like and the only other toned morgan i havre seen that is as nice they are both on par is the proof morgan stman got!!!!!!!!!

sincerely michael

I wish this was mine, but a Rick T. photo will have to suffice. Thanks to BNE for pointing this out. Any guesses what this would go for?

Finest-Known Unique (1/0) Killer Toned PR-69 1942-P Jefferson Proof!

NIckelCollector · October 23, 2002 8:55AM

RotatedRainbows · October 23, 2002 9:32AM

Not real pretty but it is 100% brilliant and the mirrors are so deeeep that my scanner can't comprehend so it put a hazy look to it.

IrishMike · October 23, 2002 9:50AM

My first Bust Half.

rkfish · October 23, 2002 11:11AM

Some very beautiful coins! but we need a Peace dollar on here....this 34-s has very nice copper toning over the top half of the obverse and the reverse is blast white.

supercoin · October 23, 2002 11:30AM

No Ikes yet??

I don't think I've posted this one yet, or at least not lately...

Fairlaneman · October 23, 2002 11:31AM

Whomever owns this coin needs to send it to me immediately

Neptune · October 23, 2002 3:29PM

Some great photography and beautiful coins! I especially like the Indian, the pastels and buffalos. This one is from the JFK Legacy Collection - the only one in set that is toned. Got this a few years ago - will probably put up on eBay when I get a round tuit to pay for my slab - as in a real concrete slab.

(Hope I am doing this PIC thing right, if not - forgive me, I am new at this.) - Note: bottom says Dexter University 1923-1926.
