The original holders some of the Early Commemoratives came in are really cool also. They help "Tell the Story" behind the issues:

I know Dr. Mike has many of these, anyone else own any of these original holders?

Here is America's only official two headed coin, the Lewis and Clark commemorative gold dollars that were issued in 1904 and 1905. The obverse is, of course, the side with the date.

 

[lcoopie]

there are 5 heads on the Elgin above

but your point is well taken

Breath taking ! Not to nit pick but how didn't that Iowa get a star? I am hard pressed to pick a favorite out of that group. There are just too many stunners. Thanks for sharing.
