Got this on order from my usual coin guy, it's a spectacular specimen. Really satisfied with it.

These are great looking coins, and made at the US mint.

@ Palouche: Wow, that is really beautiful. How do you get such good pictures, do you use a flatbed scanner or something?

@ SCopru: Thanks :)

@ IndianGoldEagle: Wait, these were minted in the US? I had no idea. How come?

No just a normal Canon digital camera on tripod, switch it on to close-up, use natural daylight and no flash, but indoors...The only tip I can give you is I put the automatic 10 sec timer on press the button and step away...This stops any camera movement..

@Dorado...Thats a beautiful coin and a great photo!

Wow, that is an exceptional matte proof. Is Panama then your specialty Dorado?
I rather like the later rare types of Franklin Mint patterns, etc.
PM me if you'd like & I may have a couple of questions if you know these later series and coins...
