The first one was in trade for a 1910 $10 Indian PCGS MS63 plus some cash (I wanted to go for the extra gold and take advantage of the lower premium on the $20). The other two were from APMEX. None of these were hand-picked by myself so it was whatever they decided to give me. I'm not thrilled about the rim dings on the APMEX 1908 NM and field hits, but I think I'll just take it. I think the 1904 is decent for the grade and I'm pretty happy about that one. All of them have nice luster. 1908 NM PCGS MS64 1908 NM PCGS MS64 (OGH) 1904 NGC MS63  Edited by Prethen 01/08/2012 1:15 pm

I swear, I did not know until this thread that there was an image of the Capitol on a St Gaudens.

It amazes me that these pieces are cheaper now than they were a few years when gold was $900. It is a good time to pick up MS double eagles!
Now how about showing off some proof 3 cent nickels!

Quote: SuperDave; I swear, I did not know until this thread that there was an image of the Capitol on a St Gaudens Well it's easy to not see it as it's out of the main design. As almost everyone focuses on Liberty and the rays. I'm guessing you don't have a lot of saints in your collection? (I don't any more either).

Now how about showing off some proof 3 cent nickels! Now here's a fellow collector that I really like!  I haven't shown off any of my 3CN Proofs in quite awhile. But, I also haven't acquired any news ones recently either. Perhaps I'll put together a thread in the not too distant future here. Also, the comment about the picture quality, Bill, is much appreciated. I thought they came out pretty nice, too. Never noticed the Capitol building myself.

Nice ones Bruce. I sold off most of mine when gold peaked and got righteous money for them! Getting the itch to buy again as it's been a while for me as well!

Now that's what coins should look like. That reverse of the 1904 is so majestic!
