Coin cabinet in the form of a roman temple.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

An excellent thread.  From my trip to the NOLA mint this summer. This press came from San Francisco, but is the same as one used in New Orleans.  |

Enjoyed looking at your pictures. Especially the O-mint sets in capital plastics holders. You should post those here directly.

This is a display of all 28 known die pairings of the Seated Liberty 20 cent piece. The photo is courtesy of John Frost who owns 27 of the 28 coins. The ultra rare 1876CC with 20 known examples was on loan from an anonymous owner.
