I still cant believe my eyes
In a recent journal, I explained how to turn a gun safe in coin safe. With over 500 certified coins , junk silver rounds, Toned silver coins, and Solid oak shelves and copper pennies. I really dont know how it happened. I originally bought a bullion version of the 5 oz America The Beautiful when it first came out. I put the on the top shelf inside my safe and closed it up. I opened my safe periodocially to put coins I won from an auction in my NGC boxes and Closed it back up.I went into the safe last night to put my Mt Hood "P" 5oz in the safe. For some reason, I cant explain, I wanted to compair the bullion and "P " versions. When I pulled the first coin from the top shelf it was yellowstone. I almost hit the floor when I seen it toned. The obverse was against the shelve and the reverse was face up. It is the most beautiful full copper toneing with a light shade of blue on the bisons back. The rim has heavy shades of purple and blue around the rim and sides. The obverse that is against the wood shelve is still blasted white. For some reason when I put the 5 coins in the safe, I wasnt paying attention to what I was doing. I put 4 of the 5 coins obverse face up and one face down. The MT Hood is toned on washington obverse. I took a picture of the yellowstone the best I could. I may consider putting this on ebay. This scan cannot do this coin any kind of justice once you put it in your hand. Please let me know what you think !
