Can you tell I like this coin?

Phoenix

 

Yep..I can tell.

 

wow you guy's got some great coins

 

Boy I wish I had that coin - it is leadfoot's coin. Nothing I post could compare to it. Others - Jack, Lehigh, Clembo, treashunt, spock, etc - have all posted better coins than I could ever post. So I kind of just voted for my favorite that I know about.

I believe this is the rarest coin I own.

 

sweet!!!!!

 

Well, I'm going to step out of bounds and post a pic of a coin that DJCoinz owns. I know I'm supposed to post a coin of my own, but I don't feel worthy! He posted it on another forum and it was so beautiful to me that I downloaded the pic. I hope he won't be upset with me , but it seems this is a good place to post it. This is one of those coins where you'd be sorely tempted not to take out a second mortgage to buy.....

 

I have some really nice coins in my collection, but at the present time I have to consider this the king of my collection. An unbelievably attractive rainbow toned 1897 Indian Head Cent proof. The following description is from my NGC registry type set.


Vivid shades of magenta, pink, and yellow envelop both sides of this beautiful coin. The reverse shows a very pretty swath of emerald green and the cameo effect on this coin is gorgeous. Both PCGS and NGC combined have only graded 9 cameo examples for this date from an original mintage of 1,938, and this specimen is the only cameo graded by NGC. This coin has population of 1 with two finer, and neither of the higher graded coins even approach this coin in terms of eye appeal. In a nut shell, this coin is the most attractive 1897 cameo proof in existence. (Images courtesy of ARC)

 

A tough call, but here's four of my favorites:


Claudius AE sestertius, 41-42 AD


Constantius II AV solidus, 337-361 AD


Licinius I AE3, 319-320 AD


Philip I sestertius from Viminacium, 243-244 AD

 

Generally not my kind of coin, but I'll make an exception for this one.

 

This coin is as cool as the other side of the pillow. That coin rocks! :bow:

 

My main favorite coin is my avatar coin:


And, this one is one of my favorites, Just a regular old Canadian cent, But the toning is out of this world, maybe a toned coins camera man can give me some pointers to catch the toning on my camera, it all seems to disappear on the 2.5" screen. lol

 

While not my most expensive coin, I like this one the best. From the long beach coin show this September. Arizona Jack was kind enough to find it and bid on it for me.

 

Very nice coin Harry! Love it.

 

awesome coins!!!!!!!
