I had earlier posted some photos that were too large, here are the resized photos. I think they are some of the most beautiful coins I have ever owned and seen and take delight in seeing them, enjoy!

My fantasy coin! I spent more time looking at those pages in the Redbook than at pictures of girls.

Beautiful coins. Too bad Farran Zerbe was such a lousy salesman.

The $50 design originally had a spider web in the background behind the owl.

You can see photos of this and other original designs and read a lot of previously unpublished information about the coins in the book Renaissance of American Coinage 1909-1915. It can be borrowed from the ANA library, or purchased from many coin dealers & book sellers, including several who post on these boards.

rareCanadian:

I want to second everyone's comment about the beauty of your coins. (Plus I'll second everyone's comment about envy.

)

I also want to second rwb's comment his "Renaissance" book. After reading the material in the book about these coins, I came away with a new appreciation for the PPIEs (or, as they are called today, the Pan-Pacs). GREAT book and GREAT coins.

Classic coins -- the octagonal is sweet!

The fifty dollar octagonal gold is my dream coin... will probably never own one, but that is what dreams are made of.... Cheers, RickO

I keep hoping some rich ol' geezer in need of a Kidney transplant will trade 1 of each for my "spare" Kidneys

The only way I'll ever own those <sigh>

Without question one of the best coin designs put out by the US Mint. You are one luck collector , I'm green with envy!

SmallEagle · October 27, 2007 3:26AM

Beautiful, beautiful coins! If you don't mind telling, how are they currently graded?

JRocco · October 27, 2007 3:49AM

Without being able to own one, thanks for at least letting me enjoy looking at some nice pics.

Zoins · October 27, 2007 3:50AM

Those are some great coins. Thanks for sharing them

STONE · October 27, 2007 4:03AM

Much better and still drooling.

One of the finest U.S. coin designs of all time.

rareCanadian has very solid grading skills. I have seen him in action. What a nice person as well.

These two coins look awesome to me. Looks to be condition census coins as well!

I am indeed curious as to the actual grade of these lovely gold coins as well.
