Well..... uh.....
probably not. er...
@Zoins .... That is an INCREDIBLE piece of coin art..... Never saw that before. Congratulations on an awesome piece of work.... Cheers, RickO
Yes. These are on the NNP. The 1878 is a proof 8TF, VAM 14.8, obtained almost hot off the press from the mint and immediately engraved. Two short runs of 8TF proofs were made in late March 1878. I don't know when the Robert E. Lee one was made.

I love the coins in the regency holders.

Amazing! Am I correct in assuming "Bland"-ly is a reference to the Bland-Allison Act?
[Edit - of course, now that I read the link. Also referred to as the Grand Bland Plan of 1878 !]

I didn't know that the 21-d is a phony. (nearly bid on it in 2014).
What is the story, Alan?
The coin was referred to as the "Bland Dollar" at the time it came out, and this was within 6 weeks of its debut. It was probably still a big deal. To translate to modern terminology, the "Bland" meme hadn't yet run its course. Exactly what motivated the Longs to include it in an inscription to the Jolleys (first misspelled by the engraver, then corrected, if you look closely) is a mystery, but suffice it to say that it probably made sense to both parties at the time.

Thanks for the link 3keep.
@Zoins is that a piece disigned by the Russian artisan?
Zoins, There can only be one guy that engraved that piece based on my knowledge and I would consider him probably one of the finest engravers in the world .
Alexsey Subarov
I wrote a whole lot more about Alexseys work, but for some reason it did not post

Not to doubt it's authenticity but how on earth can something like this be verified.....

I am not familiar with this piece. When did it first surface?

The 1878-S Presentation piece is in the collection of one of my clients. He has had it for about 17 years.
@afford Congrats on that 1-of-a-kind Awesome Morgan in a Special Regency Holder...I would be proud to own that baby!
@afford my bad...Very Nice Proof Piece you have there buddy...I say you should acquire the 78-s also...YOLO
Truly a terrific love token!
PS- that one in the Regency holder is just... WOW.
As to the "hobo" carving, I agree that Alexei Saburov is the king of the modern hobo artists.
