Thinking about adding this to my collection but it's raw and I worry about counterfeits. What do you folks think?

 

I would say start a new thread to get more replies.

Personally I wouldn't touch a raw saint, you can get certified ones without any worry for not much over spot even in choice UNC

 

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

 

Agreed

 

All of the coins are beautiful.

 

honest circulation wear!
And not so much!

 

Wonderful Color indeed! Nice coin.

 

1802/1 Half Eagle

 

Unusual looking little devil. I like it!

 

I have the 1932 also. Means a lot to me because my dad was born that year. I know it is the most common date, but got to have it!

 

I am at 165 with six coins to go. Had this set finished at one time, but sold it.....this time, I am going to keep it.

 

It is not a coin
but it is gold
from British Guyana
and it is pretty old.

 

Bought this one a few weeks back finally got it this week don't think I've posted it here yet. An upgrade for a $2.50 lib after I sold mine last month. The difference in luster between my old 62 and this is worth every penny of the upgrade, can see the flash on this from across the room. Instantly one of my favorite coins.

 

Well that certainly looks alot like something else which is almost as nice as gold!

 

Here is my oldest coin....
EL Hemihekte Sardis Mint struck circa 610BC
King Alyattes of Lydia
EL= Electrum a natural alloy of 50/50 Gold/ Silver

 

Something a bit more recent.....
AV Stater Salamis Mint struck circa 310BC
Under King Nikocreon of Cyprus 330-309BC
This King allied himself with Alexander III of Macedonia/ his coinage reflect the ones struck under Alexander the Great.
