    Wow, a prooflike EID MAR! :p;)

    Inquiring minds want to see the rest of the NGC slab to know what that's all about (i.e., exactly what flavor of exonumia that is, to be accepted by them).

    I know you for cool exonumia. Am legitimately curious about what that obviously modern EID MAR, obviously in an NGC slab, happens to be, is all.

    AHA! The Zoid is a trickster. ;)

    I was mistaken about it being in an NGC slab. It's a self-slab capsule (I didn't know they had those with NGC style prongs, but am not at all surprised to discover that the Chinese are making them). And I was also mistaken about that being just one coin, er- um- token. He used two, and only showed us the sides without the mandatory COPY stamps.

    Still, in silver, with a mintage of only 26 pieces, that's pretty cool. Maybe even rarer than a real EID MAR, too- and a heck of a lot cheaper!

    @lordmarcovan that is rarer than a real Eid Mar. I think the total population is somewhere around 60 by now. :)

    @ZoidMeister very cool! Thanks for posting!

    Here are couple of my coins,
    Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul,

    And a broken denarius minted under Augustus celebrating the Secular games (Ludi Saeculares) in 17 BC, featuring 'Caesar's Comet', above Caesar's head.

    This is the only J.C denarius in my collection. It was struck on a very irregular planchet, but that is precisely why I like it.
