Ok, I got the hi-res image. In looking at it, I realized something. The eagles talons on the reverse are not actually holding the arrows or olive branch but are completely in front of them. Does anybody have any idea why that is?

I didn't know they made incuse proofs, now I'm confused how that would work... wouldn't a frosted surface on the most raised parts make it a reverse proof (or specimen - I don't really know all the meanings of "specimen", but in Canada the modern specimen sets are reverse proofs where the fields are lined)...?

NICE coins! I have no proofs before 1955 so I am waaaay jealous here. LOL

Have you considered submitting for CAC approval?


Why would anyone really bother with that? So a grading service can grade the grading services grade? A scam that everyone is piling on to make legitimate.

Kind of puts the lie to buy the coin not the plastic. Now its buy the bean not the plastic.

All that aside, I have to say, that Buffalo is my favorite so far. Followed by the Trades. Keep making me jealous folks.
