The mirrors are ultra deep, crystal clear, and will melt icebergs with their flash.

I don't even like them, and that one is giving me a woodie!

It looks so perfect, that it almost looks fake. Like one of those Gallery Mint repros.

I'd love to see that baby close up. I saw a MS65 Chain cent they had about a year ago.

dorkkarl · April 20, 2005 3:34AM

THAT coin, judging by the digi-pic, KICKS A55!

no wannabe jibber jabber here!

I do not want to be too critical and literal, but the hearts in the cardiac ward are already beating, some may be too fast and some too slow. Now, they should probably take it to the morgue. It would be really valuable if it could bring dead people back.

I am amazed that a coin minted 105 years ago could be in --- then and now--- that condition-AMAZING

I thought the same thing when I saw that coin. Lately I have been sending in coins from 68-71 proof sets trying to get a 69 ultra cameo grade and have not had a lot of success. It is amazing to think that the mint could produce a coin of that quality that long ago.

That's exactly what I thought.

What's a woodie?

XpipedreamR · April 20, 2005 4:20AM

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

airplanenut · April 20, 2005 4:27AM

I saw that one on their site before. I'd love to own any classic dcam gold. But it will always be a love affair from afar unless I win the lottery. Since I don't play the lottery, I expect it'll take a while to win.

TonedPeaceNut · April 20, 2005 8:23AM

A 69????? C'mon, while its a great coin, it is really possible that a proof gold coin could have been minted in such an almost perfect fashion and then remained in an almost perfect state for 105 years???

Not to say it isnt heart stopping to look at, but sometimes I wonder about grade inflation on some of these coins. Dont think it would make a big price difference between 67 or 68 and a 69 though.

<<This is an unbelievable glow in the dark coin.>>

<<Selling inferior or mis-described coins is NOT what we are about.>>

nothing wrong with some good hyperbole though, since this is so obvious the *real* deal from a *real* playa, not no wannabe crap.

they only hype the best, got it? their name is LEGEND!! i mean, c'mon... don't even try to step up to them.

yawn.

when is the gansta rap album comin out, Laura? the Lg-units.

JRocco · April 20, 2005 8:51AM

That coin could find a nice home in my collection

originalisbest · April 20, 2005 9:22AM

Looks like the type of coin you'dve found in Clapp's holdings.
