This one obviously has not been in the wild for long. Nice to see it rescued!

I posted this before but was a garbage pic so I tried again. Its hard to take a pic of a mirrored coin like this. Thanks though for all the honest opinions

Another case of wondering how this gem made it into circulation. Seems like someone might have broken up a mint set recently...

I agree, probably another death of a proof set.....doesn't that make the remaining proof sets more rare?

That is one gem of a proof coin that you found.

I was surprised when I looked in my pocket and saw it the first thing I did was get a tissue and wipe it off ever so lightly. I have it in a plastic coin sleeve I'm not sure what to put it in permanently I don't wanna ruin it and living in Alaska there isn't very many places to get a airtight container what is a good sight to get stuff like that and where I won't get ripped off .

That's an awesome find! I can't believe something that nice looking made it through the circulation grind - I wonder how long it was circulating. Not long I bet. For storage of coins, I've been very happy with http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/I've ordered some Danscos from them, good quality, good prices. They also seem to have quite a good variety of other types of holders as well, depending on what you prefer. |
