Sorry if I'm straying away from the current "In God We Trust" theme but, the The John Jay Pittman 1843 Proof Gold Set can be yours for just under $938,000.
So if you had an extra million dollars, would you peel off 938K and take a crack at this 3 coin set? (hey, I can dream can't I?)
The 1843 Proof Gold Set offered for $937,765 Call 1-866-629-2097 to talk with your Blanchard and Company, Inc. Account Executive about this opportunity.

i truly don't think i'd be sitting in front of a computer to even type this much less buying coins
Nice to see that these are in pre NCS era NGC holders!

I think you get the original presentation box, it's in the background... so, since they've meet your preconditions, when will you be placing your order?

I remember seeing them in that original box in John's exhibit at an ANA convention. I think it was 1975 Los Angeles. I prefer them that way.
Sigh.

Do they look the same in the NGC holders as they did in 1975?
Well, just Love coins, period.
<< <i>while those are clearly very nice, I don't really see the cam in those pics, maybe it's just the images. >>
Same here, must be the photography.
On the other hand, with a million buckaroos, I'm not thinking coins. I'm thinking strippers, a trampoline, and pillows.

Yeah, the images are most likely scanned. A Scanner most often cannot capture luster and makes coins look flat and lifeless. If you look at coinsfacts.com (images the PCGS price guide uses) you'll many time see old silver coins that look like... well, plastic. Flat, dull and lifeless... it's the scanner.
My Canon 20D does not capture luster well at all either and it's very frustrating. Custom White balance, natural lighting, 2 or 3 lamps, macro lens, tubes, ISO100, white background, black background... whatever, no matter what I do, my macros ALWAYS look lifeless.
Like my Standing Liberty coin below, it has luster, it has luster and a bit of a cartwheel too but, you'd never know based on the image below. The picture below looks like the coin was dipped & stripped with tarnish remover but in reality... it looks like a silver quarter, in hand it's nice, in the photo... crap (crap being the technical term!) .
