Not to mention the amazing array of coins in the Baltimore auction...

Here's a silver coin!

    I've heard of these. Weren't they limited to 5 per household and also caused computer jams? ;)

    Rumor has it that some coins are made of REAL GOLD.

    Here’s one that has a lower mintage than one of the coins the Mint released yesterday. However, at a mintage of 25,018, it’s still more than 5,000 coins higher than the maximum possible mintage of the other coin the Mint released yesterday.

    One of my favorites

    That has to be the most beautiful Walker photo I have ever seen.
    It has the depth of field that makes it appear to be High Relief.

    Do you have a similar picture of the Obverse?

    Close... The picture of the reverse is better.

    That's a beautiful '37 and great images. Why won't they grade that or have you tried ? Like most of these mine also has also been struck from over polished dies more evident on the obverse.

    Probably nothing that lives up to 2019 stuff, but here is one or two

    I purchased raw, from a dealer.

    I have not tried to have this graded. Just wanted to collect proofs from several series. Matte Proof Lincoln was the first. Buffalo is on my list as well, but they are not reasonably priced. Time will tell. :)

    Your half is a STUNNER!!!

    The Buffs have come down a lot. I bought 3 in the last year (sold one) just because they seem TOO cheap...

    Had to decide between buying 4 of the 2019 reverse proofs from eBay or this coin. After much agonizing I went with the 115 year old hunk of gold with great original color and nearly fully proof like surfaces with no distracting marks.


    (not judging people who buy the reverse proof I get needing it for your set just teasing a bit :) )
