Got these SA proof 1ds in today :)

These are the matches to the 1/2ds I posted a few weeks ago.

The 1937 had been slabbed, Anacs Pr63RB. The cool thing is that "all" of the SA coppers were mint blackened from 1923-42, finding one in any form of "red" is rare.

Is there a nicer ship design than these? Maybe somewhere, but the design exhibits a certain simplicity without sacrificing detail which is very attractive.

And I love the colors and toning you find these SA's in.

Nice group!

You suck!

The 1944 PR64 BN you just sold me is sitting by my elbow. If you look up the adjective "satiny" in an encyclopedia, you'll see a picture of this coin. The fields are amazing. I always wondered how somebody could distinguish a proof SA penny from a business strike, but now that I've had both, it isn't as hard as I thought.
