Lot viewing at FUN - some of my favorites (HA).

Had a good time, there Wed/Th. Met up with Boiler78 which is always a treat.

There are more expensive coins being auctioned, but I really liked these.

Lot 3037, 1856 FE S9, in a rattler. Nice looking coin and a plastic bonus!

Lot 3162, Isabella in a rattler.

Lot 3166, Matte proof Hawaiian commemorative - just like matte proof gold, an acquired taste.

3252 - Indian $5 - just had really nice color in person.

There were several proof early Lincoln cents - really liked this one!

Gone but not forgotten: IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal, CoinsAreFun.

    I spent about an hour looking through most of the Platinum Night material and looked at quite a few of your picks as well. The Hawaii Matte Proof normally comes with dappled toning and its always nice to see a PCGS MS68 Izzy in a Rattler!

    My favorite coin that I viewed at HA was this pioneer die trial/pattern/Heaton mint advertising piece. Really cool design, incredible relief, and wicked color and mirrors.



    Love it! Thanks for posting @lermish!

    From Google AI:

    In Greek myth, Medusa's severed head was given to Athena by Perseus, and the goddess placed it on her shield (or aegis) as a potent symbol to inspire fear in enemies and ward off evil, becoming a fearsome protective emblem known as the Gorgoneion. This image, representing divine power and protection, was frequently depicted on Greek and Roman armor and artifacts.
