Very nice, but why so many different coins? Wouldn't 4 suffice?

And are you going to add the 4 2009s and the Shield cent? That would make an awesome display. And if you buy a proof Indian cent, that would be even nicer.

Nice set of proofs Tim ! Mine start at 1950 and I doubt I'll ever afford to get older that that

Interesting - is that amount of color difference (e.g. the redder color of the wheat proofs) normal? Was there a slight alloy or surface treatment change at the same time as the design change?

wquinn: just what was on the screen when I captured it.

Captain: The red is reflection from the camera but yeah I was wondering the same thing thus the post.

Maineman: I hope to get back to at least 1950. The earlier ones are a bit steep.
