Post by: coinsarefun on January 06, 2010, 09:51:30 PM
Now this one "Knock out" of a Proof set WOW: WOW: WOW:
An 1857 Proof set, among other sweet proof sets for sale [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/search_items.php?Sale_No=1136&Consignor_No=16&ic=auctionhome_browse]http://coins.ha.com/common/search_items.php?Sale_No=1136&Consignor_No=16&ic=auctionhome_browse] [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/search_items.php?Sale_No=1136&Consignor_No=16&ic=auctionhome_browse (http://[url=http://coins.ha.com/common/search_items.php?Sale_No=1136&Consignor_No=16&ic=auctionhome_browse)[/url]

The one cent obverse bothers me a little because of the carbon spot, but it looks like she
is wearing an earing, so it ok :Funny;

Yea, that spot is definitely ugly!  A shame, the reverse looks so nice and gemmy.

I really liked this set. Considered a second mortgage but I needed a co signer and the wife said absolutly not!!! ;D The fact that there was an overlap in one cent pieces made it all the more appealing to me. Maybe when I win the lottery this would be a possibility ::)
