Sorry for the really bad photos, I am very challenged in this area.
I was going through some coins, and found these, I purchased them at the Central States in Indianapolis in the late 1990s (sorry my notes don't list a year).
The 1907 came from National Gold Exchange, the 1899 Morgan and 1895 Barber I bought as a pair for $5,000 but I did not write down the dealers name. I do remember buying these coins, it was a real stretch at the time, but I'm glad I did, I still like them and should probably look at them more often

Holy crap! those appear amazing!
Send them to tomb or FtB or someone else for proper photos.
Beautiful coins.
Very, very nice!
Those are treasures!!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow. I love rare proof coinage. Those are awesome
I too will image your proofs for free, they are worthy of quality images.
I rate your coins A+, but your pictures a D-.

Great looking proofs, Tyler. Several forum members, including FTB (above) could make superb images for you (and us!) to enjoy so that your coins can reside comfortably in a secure location.
Those coins are sweet!
Wow, very nice, I like it, great purchases !!!

Thank you guys for kind the offer to image these coins for free.
The coins are in the bank, and I need to find the time to get them out and mail them, I'm traveling for the next month or so it will be very difficult. Once I get home I will try to get them imaged.
btw, your offer to image for free is extemely generous, but I insist on paying.
Thanks to everyone for all the kind words, I need to find time to go to the bank and look at collection more often. It is a shame we can't keep our collections at home where we can more easily enjoy them.
You did the coins no justice with those photos. Now go to your room
without dinner...J/K about dinner.:)
They appear to be very nice coins... I hope you take advantage of the offers here and show us the results. Cheers, RickO
I need to get some coins photographed, and I'm not the one to do it.
Last year I went to a ANA seminar on counterfeit detection and I really had fun. I believe the ANA offers a coin photography course at the summer seminar, I am going to try to attend, I think it would be fun to learn how to image coins.
Those look sweet. I can’t recall the last forum post of such high quality coins with such poor pics....this may be a record. I write that with no malice.
Some amazing coins.
Thanks for sharing.
