Great Hobo Nickel!

 

I'm sorry guys, Mumu wins. Excellent example of high relief and beautiful color. Definite PQ Coin there.

 

Thanks but its not a contest. There are millions of awesome coins out there and anyone who enjoys them wins

 

I have a new addition

 

I think Daniel Carr's Ameros are nice.

 

I like this design. What coin is it?

 

What a wonderful coin, it looks like chocolate, one is really tempted to have a bite.

 

It is a 50% gold coin from the Virgin Islands.

:hail: Here is a new 20 Ameros.

 

Many of Daniel Carr's designs I find interesting, some I find very attractive. With those "Amero" pieces, however, I wonder: If there should ever be such a currency union, would its language actually be English only, and would the symbols used be almost exclusively US only? Then again, I understand where Carr's primary market is ... and an ounce of silver is an ounce of silver.

I posted a couple before but I determined this wheat cent is my most beautiful coin:

 

PCGS graded this PR69DC, and still the only one graded by PCGS as of 8/25/2012

 

In memory of two coins I just sold.....(click a couple of times to see larger images!)

 

One of my favorites.
