i forgot about the actual ancient coins lol i want to see thoes to i also want to see the cheaper moderns so i know what to look for
ok enochian sorry for the wait. it took for ever. hope it is worth the wait. pics turned out better than I thought. seems there was enough light. King Tut 1 pound: Cleopatra: these 2 coins are dirt cheap on Ebay.
the price changed because every 2-3 years the price goes up or down acording to my new krause catalogs..mostly up depending on the grade.. I buy new Krause catalogs every 2 years. the coins are cheap but cool. I recommmend getting them in uncirculated grade.
my 2 silver proof King Tut coins: 1993 King Tutankhamen KM#793 5 pounds, .999 silver, 22.50g. weight. Value-$48.00 1999 King Tutankhamen KM#900 5 pounds .975 silver, 37mm size, 17.33g weight. Value $55.00 I love these 2 coins. I see both these coins seperately going for $100.00 each for a retail price. I will never sell them I like them to much. I will get the small and large gold coins someday....way down the road lol.
enochiam- here's the hummingbird pic my girlfriend was taking....I know off topic (live a little). his beak is way longer than appears ....must have turn our way while taking this pic. I am facinated by how fast their wings flap and can hover in 1 spot....then take off.
super small but so cool to watch. they come in so many colors too. I like the shiny green headed ones. our ones are grey. I've seen some green ones a couple summers ago.
