bsshog40 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I think it's pretty cool but I just can't bring myself to pay that much for it. I wouldn't mind having one of the cheaper versions but they are all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah, I can certainly understand that! I figured I wanted one before the feds raid their offices and I can just put it in my peace dollar dansco. The other one wasn't that much cheaper either, I think it was $100 and this one was $125, no bargain either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I believe there was one version that went for $65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIM F. Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 When you say different versions, please explain, or are the prices going up as more and more sell? I kinda like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 There are several different finishes, the first was supposed to be like a matte finish (this was the $100 version I think), the one I got was supposed to be more lusterous like a business strike (this one was $125), and now Bob mentioned a $65 version, but I never saw that one listed. Right now the only one available is the one I bought, but I don't suppose there is anything stopping them from making more of the other versions.

SkyMan Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Actually Sy, I have 2 proof registries for my Jeffs. I'm going from 1950 to date. Almost complete too! I just noticed your links.

Right now the only one available is the one I bought, but I don't suppose there is anything stopping them from making more of the other versions. The first version and part of the second finish started at $110 plus $5 shipping. Sometime after 5,000 were sold the price was raised to $125 plus shipping. It was a week or two after that the $65 example made it's appearance. According to the link it is sold out, at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Although I want my morgan collection to be mainly white coins, I would like to make an acception for a really nice rainbow toned coin like this one, and a really nice blue toned one as well.

kbsig106 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Was looking through some old proof sets owned by my late grandfather - found my birth year set and loved the toning on the .01 penny. Sent the coin in for grading and preservation with my last batch, if anything for the sentimental family value. The purple and blue toning really pop's with a transition down the obv. from top to bottom Graded PF 66 RB Cameo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coindude Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 My latest acquisition, a 2010 high relief Kangaroo. This is an absolutely incredible piece. I personally don't own the UHR gold eagle, didn't feel like tying up that much money in a coin just for show, but when I saw this one at a price of less than $100, I jumped on it. This thing is something else, deep dish, the most incredible of mirrors, and as a lot of the other Australian proof pieces that I have, they use what I call two tone cameo, one area lighter and one deeply frosted. You can't go wrong with this thing!! Incredibly thick as well as noted in the pictures taken side by side with a quarter. And, pictures taken with two different lighting styles.... no James... no SOLB ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
