Great looking half eagle! 
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks John! I really like the gold coins and now with the spot price so high,there is barely any premium on the pre 1933 coins, so I've been picking a few when I can.

I've been trying to complete the $1 gold series for a few months, a couple of days ago I was able to get the Type 2 which let me complete a few things. First off my box of slabbed gold is filled. Is this a good thing or bad thing?  Of the 3 types, the Type 2 is the hardest to find with a decent strike, coupled with only being a 3 year issue. These are the hardest to get, but still readily available.   After looking back, I realized I never posted the type 3, so here you go.   And the 3 types together.
