Finally got my 2008 Proof Silver Eagle, new job!!

Greetings again folks!!

Well, the anticipation and longing for the mail I had on MLK Day has now been long forgotten as yesterday my 2008 Silver Eagle arrived, and I have to say, the mint has done a remarkable job with these proofs as long as I have been ordering them these past 2 years. The detail and...hell, PERFECTION of the proofs are just remarkable.

I am surprised that not more people are interested in them, seems like since the 2006 W's, more people have turned to the uncirculateds, but that's great,too as the uncircs are definately beautiful and just as worthwhile as the proofs.

Another bit of coin excitement this morning as I got an email from the mint indicating my order is being processed for my proof and uncirc Bald Eagle Comemms... Now, MORE path blazing to the mailbox, and more longing and suffering for these great coins.

Also, yesterday I gave my 2 week notice to my employer, but since the workload has been low anyway, they just let me get outta there, which is excellent as I have now had a couple days off before I go to my orientation this Friday.

A new year, and wonderful new opportunities for my numismania, and my professional life....

Have a great day!!
