    I'd ditch my greenbacks for some of those. The mint should re-issue those but I seriously doubt they'd capture the raw beauty of these!!

    Must be Boiler78's stash...

    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!

    Love the coins.....love Liberty's long hair and her cute little bow.

    Great job, Phil.

    Edited to add: Lady Liberty has a pearl necklace....now that is classy.

    These are are in the top 2 or 3 most beautiful patterns that the mint
    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.
