Each coin is pressed multiple times in the production process, with greater contrast and detail added as each new strike is achieved.

This process gives creates a cameo effect on the raised foregrounds, while the background surface displays a mirror-like, highly-polished surface. If you have the opportunity to handle a proof gold coin, you should notice your own reflection in the coin’s background.

At the conclusion of the production process, United States Mint workers provide a thorough inspection on each specimen, after which the coin is sealed sonically in a protective clear case.

The appeal of these beautiful American Eagle Gold Proof Coins have caught the attention of thousands of numismatists and gold bullion investors, seeking to enhance their gold bullion portfolios and collections.

Winnie the pooh might not be the brightest animal in the hundred acre woods, but he is one of the sweetest, and there is no denying that he loves honey.  He is always raiding the wild bee hives for honey, and can never get enough of it.   But what is Winnie the Pooh bought some bee keeping equipment and started harvesting his own honey?  It would save him a heap of trouble.

It would also mean he could make himself a little money.  He would probably eat all of the honey himself (and who could blame him), but I am sure that industrious Rabbit and family oriented Kanga would buy beeswax to make into candles, and then Pooh would not only have a supply of honey, but also an income.  So maybe Winnie the Pooh should bee a  beekeeper.  It would probably make him happy.
