The uncirculated strike. Obverse

This one has a very attractive finish.

Reverse of the uncirculated strike.

HOT off the scanner

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

I'm amazed that a scanner can do that.

I checked by the US Mint site a few hours ago and my order shows as "backorder expected to ship on Sept 24". I really hope I manage to get one, those are nice.

But that's what it said about my 20th Anniversary set too.

Article about the OS date notation on the reverse

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Sty...ew_Style_dates

Old Style and New Style dates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Old Style (or OS) and New Style (or NS) is used in English language historical studies either to indicate that the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (NS) even though contemporary documents use a different start of year (OS); or to indicate that a date conforms to the Julian calendar (OS), formerly in use in many countries, rather than the Gregorian calendar (NS).[1][2][3][4]

I'm glad you got one.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

My uncirculated arrived today, the proof has been billed to my credit card and should arrive next week. They are attractive, but I've yet to meet an unattractive gold coin:D

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

I just got confirmation that my uncirculated shipped and now it's saying my proof is reserved and will ship soon. I ordered them a full 24 hours after they went on sale so I think a lot of people must have cancelled.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

who hoo! The Mint site shows my proof as reserved! :applause_

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Looks like you got a gold sniffen cat there. I need one of those. Mine just sleeps all day long. Badass coin none the less, I want one ;-(

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Beautiful coins.. Wish I had gotten one.. I finally got around to buying the canadian 5/9 maple this morning and another krug.. Gold is gold I guess.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today

The Proof I can leave in USMINT celivered box unopened (for grading purposes)if so desired.

I wish to offer it here at GIM.

If there are no takers I will put them on ebay.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

There is a dealer ad in Coin World magazine offering $550 each. I may have thrown the issue away already. I will have to look around to see if I still have it.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

this is supposed to be favorite because Jefferson was the only unmarried President. Lady Liberty of the early bust variety adorns the reverse.

Very collectible coin ya got there wil.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Jefferson was married but a widower at the time of office. Buchanan was a bachelor all his life.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Dunno , but rumor had it he was very close to the man who was , coincidentally , our only bachelor Vice President , William Rufus King. So maybe something along the lines of this for the obverse?:

:haha::haha::haha:

Seriously though, the list RossL posted shows "James Buchanan's Liberty" , so probably something similar to that of Jefferson's? Just guessing.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

By the way,

The pics that I have seen of the Dolley Madison gold coin are a big letdown compared to the silver dollar commem issue from 1999.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

will they be contemporary versions or all the same? thanks

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

From what I have read in Coin World, the 4 Liberty obverse versions will be different.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

I couldn't find that Coin World from two weeks ago that had the dealer ad offer to buy the gold Jeff Liberty coins. The current issue doesn't have the ad.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

They forgot:

He got into the FIRST ISLAMIC WAR

the Shores of Tripoli!

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Were 3700 Americans and 80000 civilians killed in that one?

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

you get any nibbles wil?

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Got my uncirculated in the mail yesterday, i only ordered it last week. The website said they were sold out (and you might get one if there were any cancelled orders), but someone here at GIM told me that the mint had taken their credit card, so I bit. Thanks!

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Ross,
Do you have a new scanner or are you learning the tricks to using your old one? I would have been proud to have taken that picture. The detail and sharpness are very high plus the image is quite nicely high-lighted.

Re: Jefferson"s Liberty GOLD arrived today
 

Same scanner that I've had for a couple years... Epson Perfection 2400 Photo.
