I have a list of coins that I want, it has no particular rhyme or reason other than I want one. This list includes : Hawaii Commemorative St. Gaudens Gold Proof Silver Nickel Proof V nickelProof Mercury dime Isabella QuarterAnd a few more. The list was much larger but a few I have added to my collection, like the: 2016 Gold Mercury dime3 Cent Silver 3 Cent Nickel 1953 20 Escudos in Matte 2 Cents While I can buy most with some time and savings, I always have other coins/currency that pop up, so saving up for one of these sometimes takes longer than I expect. Recently a fellow collector upgraded his Isabella Quarter and offered me the one he had at a great price, I couldn't say no. This was one coin that I really like the way it looks. I showed it to Elizabeth yesterday and usually I get a 10 second look, an "It's nice" and the coin is given back to me. In this case, it was: "This is a quarter" "WOW" "So pretty" "Give me your magnifier" Followed by: "This looks expensive, how much did it cost?" and my reply was: "It cost $1 when released" At this point I get  And she walks away with my quarter. Eventually I was able to get it back.     I was really happy to get this one! |

@morgans dad, The only ASE that would make the list would be an enhanced reverse proof or the 2013 enhanced uncirculated. The 1995 W proof while the king of ASE by value/rarity is just a regular proof, they had a proof for almost every year. Yes the 1995W is nice but it's not different enough for me. The 3 cent coins are very different as was the 2 cents. Edited by hfjacinto

That;s what makes collecting Awesome, What ever Your Fancy, ........ Edited to say, I Find it Really Difficult calling the 1995-W Proof, Just a regular Proof....... 30,124 others just might agree..... Edited by Morgans Dad

What would you consider a Fair Market Value on the 2011 25th Anniversary 5-Coin Set, ? Just thinking out loud....

I would think around $500-$600 for the 5 coins in the OGP I was tempted to trade 1 of the 2019 S ERP for the set plus $500 (1 ASE for 5 + $500) but for now I'll keep the 2019 S ERP |

There are over 1 million proofs that look the same as the 1995 W, but there are only ~ 130,000 enhanced reverse proofs and only 236,000 2013 enhanced uncirculated silver eagles. |

Very nice looking Isabella.  Grade by NGC appears to be appropriate. |
