    Simon Bolivar was one stern looking cuss. I liked the strike on this one. Most I come across, the laurel wreath is all worn. In hand, the reverse is much nicer. Those stains fade at an angle and silver luster shows through.

    I originally intended (for no reason) to feature US coins. When I delve into my foreign, there ARE some really low numbers. 1679 Brunswick-Luneberg 2/3 Thaler Can find 2 in auction results. Both from 2008, Going even more obscure.... 1792 France 2 Sol NGC pop indicates 2 in all grades. ?

    In short, when it was in a Capital proof set thingy, I enjoyed the hell out of it! It was in that from 1955 until I slabbed them a few years ago. Now, it's like juggling a dinner plate. Not quite, but sure clumsy feeling. If the multi holders were smaller, I think I would like it.

    No bezels for keychains either, I suppose.

    I had my 1940 proof set slabbed in an NGC multi holder. BUT.... ever since doing that, I ...NEVER.... look at it. When it was in the Capital plastic (where it had been since 1955) I looked at it all the time.I am gonna do the dumb thing.Crack out and find a Capital proof set holder and go back in time.

    I am pleasantly stunned. "LOUPE" is being spelled correctly. I better check the calendar. I don't ....think... this is the END DAYS !!!

    As the technology simplifies, the population increases and they have no real work to do. Dunno how that's gonna play out.
