I found the list interesting, but most of us would probably appreciate a list where all the coins cost under $10,000. Maybe even $5,000.
This never occurred to me. I'm not sure that reverse design is meant to be a crescent moon, but now I'll have a hard time seeing it as anything else!
No one asked, but here are my 10... ...which I would promptly sell all but one of, and use the proceeds to buy a few hundred exemplary ancient coins.
I actually have one! Ruler: AL-ASHRAF NĀṢIR AL-DĪN SHA'BĀN II Date: 764–778 AH = 1363–1377 AD Obv.: al-Malik al-Ashraf Rev.: Linear hexagram with central crescent, all within a dodekalobe with inward direction flowerets. Attribution: Balog #472
Called a proofreader. That said, I appreciated his story and the interesting history, even if I don't agree with all of selections...but several of them for sure...and after all that you gotta give him a typo or two.
Well, I did put a few on there that fall into that category. I'll try again later, with a slightly broader net of challenging but obtainable coins.
I am in full agreement with @GeorgeM on the 1792 Half Disme. This one should absolutely be in anyone's top ten...... I wonder why he chose to include the mythical 1964 Peace Dollar. That coin doesn't even exist that anyone knows of.
