New Classic Commem's :)

I don't like the seller buy back thing either but it's just one of the hazards that you have to put up with regarding auction houses. They all do it.

Snagged a '21 Pilgrim this evening. Pics to follow when it arrives.

 

You get that one from Teletrade? The MS64? Very nice.
You also buy that "cleaned" Antietam? $500!

 

Yes and no.

Yes on the Teletade and "no" on the Antietam. That's just stupid money for a problem coin. I can't believe the prices they realize on that issue. The mintage figures are just not that rare. The freakin' Pilgrim's got lower mintage numbers....not. Actually the Pilgrim's got 2000 up on the Antietam. I'll bide my time.....

 

Proud Papa

My new baby finally arrived today. I'm a proud papa. :biggrin:
The picture isn't that great b/c I need to 1) learn how to use my camera and b) learn how to take a decent picture. The coin is not that gold color. Its just I needed to turn off the flash to get any detail. More research needed.

Anyway say hello to Capt James Cook. I love the fact that he was hailed as a god when he first arrived at the islands and was killed by the natives 13 months later. DOH! At least he got on a cool coin.

 

Got two words for ya. Civil War. Since I live in MD I'm looking forward to picking one of these up but anything tied to the Civil war seems to have a premium. My opinion anyway.

 

Nice Hawiian Clay. I was at a local show two weeks ago and a dealer sold one to a fellow I was standing next to. That's the first time I ever saw one of these up close and personal. Congrats on the new addition.....

 

the UK has only really started issuing commemorative coins quite recently, i have a full collection of the 50 pence and £2 circulating commemoratives as well as the crowns and £5 coins.

 

The title reads "classic" but if you want to post some "moderns" Moneyer I don't think anyone would object....

 

Yes. post post!!

 

the best classic commemorative coins in the world are the queen victoria jubilee set from the UK sheer beauty in metal..........



the only double florin ever rcirculated in the UK

 

Question: Anyone own "The Patriot" commen?

Also how much would you give for one around AU or MS60 something? Just like to know what would be a fair price.

 

Not sure what you're refering to. Possibly the (1925) Lexington-Concord Sesquicentennial?

 

Yea. I've heard people refer to it as the patriot as well.

 

Here's one of my favorites , got it last year .

That's a real beauty Rusty.

 

Don't know how I missed your post Moneyer. That's a real beauty too......

 

Here is a classic celebrating the 1,000 year aniversary of the founding of Rome. This coin was minted around 335 AD, in the mint at Thessalonica, Greece. Under the Emperor Constantine the Great. The obverse shows the image of "Roma." While the reverse shows the twins Romules & Remus suckeling on the she-wolf. Gosh does she really look 1,700 years old ??? woof woof

 

The years have been kind to the dear gal Ripley. Thanks for posting and sharing......
