Hi guys, I want to see your best world coins. The coin that catches my eye will win a small prize. I like detailed designs, and make sure your picture isn't too tiny or blurry. Good luck! The prize will be a small silver coin, and a world coin. If I can't choose between two, I'll have two prizes! Post your pictures here! __________________ All silver and gold is kept in a bank safe Last edited by CoinKeeper; 09-26-2009 at 11:43 PM.   09-26-2009, 10:36 PM   #2 (permalink) lincolnhoardr Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Washington Posts: 250 Blog Entries: 2 This is one of my favorite finds recently from the coin rejection tray at the local bank.

I can think of two possible explanations for that: No matter what it claims, that site is nowhere near complete for the 19th Century. Because it is the wrong size (as discussed in your thread about it), your item is almost certainly a fantasy piece, not a coin, despite it's similar appearance to Y#39, an RS127 (1908) Siamese silver baht. __________________ Ethical conduct is being honest when no one is watching.   10-03-2009, 03:15 AM   #6 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 2,850 My Mood: Here is one more.

I have posted a 1981 1/4 oz from Mexico. It's listed as KM-487 and it's 23mm across which is just a tad below a US quarter size. Contains 8.6 grams of .900 gold, it's a beauty and it's topped off with an incused edge. thx for the contest!!
