In the same vain that I posted my double eagles here http://goccf.com/t/457800), I wanted to post this type set of gold. I can only see these coins when I visit the bank (which makes me a bit sad, but it's definitely wiser for me). Of course, not all types are here such as the classics and variations like with/without motto, etc. All coins are in correct relative size to one another and collected over many years. If you're curious about grade, please ask.  Edited by Prethen

Nice! I especially like your presentation.  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."

Wow, Prethen - what a stunning collection!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thank you. [Also, I made a minor change to the picture since I noticed I didn't line up the $1 coins correctly.]

Very sweet! Quote:

The photo does do it some justice. I mentioned this coin in an earlier post http://goccf.com/t/422497#3795786) with another picture set trying to show those PL fields. Edited by Prethen

I'm sorry, something seemed to blind my eyes and I think I might have passed out there, what were we talking about again? Oh yeah. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.  |
