Mine was created almost 5 years ago, shortly after the Heritage 2001 ANA sale.
One of 3 NGC graded 68RD IH's, at 6K it was a bargain -- even if you grade it 67RD.
I've never seen it up for sale since.
One of the nicest Heritage IH images I've ever seen, and taken 5 years ago!
Compare it to their current images

Over the course of 5 to 7 years, almost all of my Album Merc's toned in the same types of shades, to varying degrees

BTW, these are Aspen Park Rare Coins images. The images really capture the coin quite nicely.

Mad Marty, I've always wanted to ask you... have you considered doing a Topical collection of talleywhackers?

Of course!
C'mon, admit it. You like to hang out with your Toner friends, don't you? I bet you take 'em out and stare at 'em by the hour. Before you know it, it's morning

Mine is just an 1878 gem dmpl 1878 8TF Morgan (VAM-2) that is the lead coin, by date, in my prooflike set. Got that particular one a little over 2 years ago from Superior Galleries.
I am wondering if I should change it to this on the next upload day. (Taken from my 97-O from the set, a PCGS 63PL.)

The first was graded Fair. It had probably been though a fire and showed maybe half of the design. The head was outlined on the obverse and the date was there although that had probably been enhansed with some engraving. On the reverse the chain was visible and enough of the legend showed to prove that it was an Ameri. (pronunced A-MER-EYE varity) I bought it at the old Gimbels Department Store coin counter in Philadelphia for $270 circa 1970 and sold it for $450 at an EAC convention circa 1976. One dealer who saw it after I had sold it said he would have paid $500.
The second one had a lot of deal, but was badly damaged. I bought it from Teaparty for around $1,000 and sold it for a small profit a couple years later.
The third is my icon coin. I purcased it from the Worthy Coin Shop, which was a "bid wall" institution in Boston for many years. About three years ago I sent it to NGC and about keeled over when it came back in a VF-30 holder. My grade was Fine-15.
I probably won't be ungrading this one. Years ago a friend loaned an Ameri that he had purchased for photographing and display at an EAC convention. I scraped together as much money as I could and offered him $10,000 for the piece. He passed, as I expected. Today the coin, which has EF-45 sharpness with a few scratches (EAC grading standards, the slab grade would be AU), Today that coin would probably be worth $75,000 or more.
It was created by a young collector named Justin (jd4science).
With the help of Bill (Cosmicdebris) we got it loaded to be used by me.
I have not seen a post by Justin since October 2002.
Over the last year of so I have been mainly collecting world coins with bears on them.
