I thought about getting this on slabbed, but decided it wasn't worth the expense, although I think it would be a high grade. It's one of the most pristine proof coins I have seen.   |

My favourite colour and metal...silver.
Wow, very nice and a very high grade by the looks of it.

WIth my luck a beauty like that would probably tone in the slab which would set me on fire! I have never had a coin tone in an airtite but have seen some outstanding coins turn to ______ in a slab! The high grade Eagles are Americas most beautiful modern day coin, in my humble opinion, but slabbing is not on my agenda.

I LOVE proof silver eagles. My dad usually gives them out for Christmas, so Hopefully I'll have a 2007 next moneth  I have no interest in getting them slabbed though. I have a 1995 (no W) which has gone up alot in value. |

I agree with you all. It was a passing idea, but fortunately it did pass. I also like these proof type the best, and this one is stunning to me.

I finally finished my set of ASE's, mostly UNC but, a few Proofs. I can't agree with you more they are truly beautiful!!! They are all in Air Tites!

I myself have a few UNC, but some of them are starting to tone, but I got them in a trade and that's the way they arrived.

Toning is in the eye of the beholder. Some coins I enjoy the toned qualities and others I don't. The ASE Proofs are just too beautiful without toning. Yours is a beaut! Thanks for posting!
My coin photography doesn't do this pic any justice. They are all UNC's with no toning although you couldn't tell by the pic. I enjoy looking at them and ofcourse, collecting them.

Debbie,
You're right, the photo doesn't do them justice, but they are an impressive lot, non the less. I envy you!

Just from my personal experience, the unc silver eagles tone, and the proofs don't.

So far so good on my UNC's as they are all in "rounds". There's nothing like the Proofs though (oh well there probably are) and Dumanyu's is so pretty.

I need to take inventory one of these days. I buy a proof each year I can afford to, but am not sure if I have them all. They certainly are beautiful coins.  |
