This is a coin that I found in his stash of coins after he passed that I had inherited and wouldn't sell it for $10,000,000. Coin is a purplish orange both sides that was found in his drawer where he kept his state quarters for his kids/grandkids. Post a coin that has a special meaning to you and is priceless for no other reason.
this Slovakia coin got me hooked on coins. To be more specific I then started the topical/themed "coins with insects" coin collection. I would not sell this coin at any cost... this next coin is from France. I hunted 10 long years for it on Ebay and then I finally bought it. when it came it the mail that day 2 more came up on Ebay...I was like WTH. I still to this day really like the depth this coin has. scratches are on the airtite not on the coin. the coin is perfect.
I've posted this coin before, but here's one of the few mementos I have of my Dad, besides his "Y" chromosome...
The first coin is Slovak Republic, not San Marino. The reverse says "People's Park Little Tatra [mountains]". But the insects (lightning bugs?) are qwell.
