Forget True-blue-view, Heritage, and Great Collections? What about "our own" tried and true @Buffalo Head or does he not qualify for a mention? If I had my druthers, he'd be the man for the job. (It's not even dawnin' in the mawnin' and I'm spoilin' for a fight!. Hope y'all have your spurs handy?)😉 What @Buffalo Headdoes is true art. So is what I used to do in photographing beautiful women. But trust me, what their significant other saw at home was not like what I put on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya never now. Word to @tigerbait... I believe all PROOFS pretty much look alike but it's the date of the coin you seek that is really important. IMHO. I don't believe all Proofs look anything alike. Not even close, but that is just MY opinion. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've collected coins since I was a child but really only got reintroduced since I retired a few years ago. Did TPGS not grade proof coins in the beginning? Curious.

Popular Post 124Spider Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) I just received both the 2021 ASE "one ounce uncirculated coin" and the "reverse proof two-coin designer edition." I like silver coins, and I love the walking Liberty half dollar, so I was curious about these. I subscribed to the uncirculated coin, so I didn't have to go through the Mint's website crashing nonsense to buy it; I did go through that nonsense to get the "designer edition" proof set. Oddly, I like the uncirculated coin's beautiful satin finish far more than I like the reverse proof. But the good news is that the beauty of the satin finish makes me optimistic that I will like the 2021 Morgan and Peace coins that should be coming my way in the next month or so.

Nice; I like the GSA dollars; pretty coins (though not cheap) with an interesting story behind them (and I'm old enough to remember all that happening).
