gorgeous examples
probably makes up for having to image 1995 special olympics shriver commemorative dollars
"shoosh"...no need to respond to me on that note...
I guess my circulated 1957 Wheat Penny got put on the back burner with TruViews when these came along huh?
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Hopefully they are coming to market??? I used to own the 1st and the last one.
Must be Boiler78's stash...
Hopefully they are coming to market???
If so, I would suggest an auction in NYC on May 13. The day after Gardner, the day before Pogue. Would make for a helluva week!

I have always loved the innocence of Miss Liberty, In contrast to the Ferocity of the Eagle.
Perhaps is why it was not chosen.
created. What an experience you had photo'ing these gems. I would
like to see the mint ditch the current ASE design and use this one for
a few years then use another classic "pattern" design. Same goes with
the AGE program, in my book the St. Gaudens design is wearing thin.

Those are hairlines on the coin. There's also a nasty scratch in the field from the 5th star to the L in LIBERTY. The official Smithsonian glamour shot hides everything but the whack mark on the lower left obverse.
