Japan, 5,000 yen 1993 to commemorate the wedding of crown prince Naruhito  Sorry for the poor photo; the blister pack is pretty scuffed up and I haven't had a chance to move it to a 2x2 yet. |

Finn, I would leave it in the blister pack, but I guess it really doesn't matter much. Here is the proof version, they were issued in capsules.  |

Two birds from the Centennial Medals Series struck at the Philadelphia Mint. These medals are silver proofs, diameter 1.500 inches (38.10 mm) and have a common obverse depicting President Theodore Roosevelt, the founder of the National Wildlife Refuge System.   |

I have an uncirculated bronze version of the Bald Eagle medal as part of the 2013 Teddy Roosevelt Coin & Chronicles set. I have to say, these look good in proof. |

Through his insight and perseverance, Teddy did so much for the US and our national identity, including establishing national parks and protecting natural resources, and even influencing our coinage through his collaboration with St. Gaudens. He's definitely on my hero list! |

Teddy is certainly a man worth admiring. Of all the C&C sets, I have to say the Teddy is my favourite. Sure, the Lincoln is certainly the nicest and I have that certain fondness for the Eisenhower, but I just like the how the Teddy set is put together with the golden baby dollar, silver medal, and bronze medal. |
