 I just found a couple of boxes on my porch. I'll open them up and see if I can get a good image or two.

I am really looking forward to seeing the proofs in person. At the same time, I find myself disappointed with the look of modern proof coins. They're almost "too" perfect? It's akin to the difference between listening to a vinyl album and a CD. Digital music is clean, but lacks the background noise and depth of the analog version that I prefer. A classic Morgan, with it's cartwheel luster (imperfections  ) and hand-worked dies is tough to beat in my book.

First, the Morgan. Any little lines or fibers are on the plastic case, not the coin. Enjoy! Click on the picture for a larger image

Here's the Peace dollar. Any spots or fibers are on the plastic case. Both the Morgan and the Peace coins seem to be flawless. These are the best coins I've had from the mint in the last few years. Again, I hope you enjoy my images! Click on the picture for a larger image Images were shot with a Nikon D200 DSLR camera equipped with a 18-55mm Nikkor lens. 1/320 @ f 9 ISO 125

Fantastic, thanks for sharing. My Peace dollars should be here Monday. Morgans are paid for but no shipping info yet. I wish they were the old-style proofs and not the laser etched ones that look pebbly. That said, I am happy the mint is making them.
