It is known as a lion d' or - issued by the Count Louis De Male, Flanders 1365-1367. Here is the reverse -
Pretty old GDJMSP...and just a plain old pretty coin! GLACIERMI I saw a circulated 1928 today..... Hey ol Silver Your just wanting a S VDB to match mine...VF....my dealer has a raw S VDB right now....I think its real but I don't know why he doesn't send it off to get graded. Speedy
By golly you are improving Doug! This one is a beauty and could look real nice in my collection of gold coins. But one would be enough, don't you think?
I would love to have a St. Gauden's double eagle sometime in my lifetime, lol. Wouldn't be too picky about the grade, even AU50 would make me happy. Suppose that's too easy an answer though. Wouldn't mind a 20 cent piece in high condition, especially a CC one. Maybe a Morgan or two from Carson City too.
Hi, Any 1963 Franklin half as long as it is in the trunk of a 1963 Buick Wildcat Convertible and I get to keep the car Bill
What To Wish For? I have always wanted an Oregon Trail, no particular year, but one that's MS66 and has some great rainbow toning like some that I've seen. They are beautiful, just beautiful!
I will be pretty happy (at least for now) if I can complete my Liberty gold coin denomination set in the grades desired. Also, I would like to own a gold Liberty Eagle or Liberty Double Eagle in MS63 or better grade. I'll get there one of these days.
I'm with you cherrypicker,so I found one.Now I guess I need a St. Gaudens Double Eagle..ouch! This one would do nicely. And WOULD'NT you know,there's an ad right under my post,for 1908 St. Gaudens..must be fate.
I can't think of a single thing I "just have to own." Satisfaction comes from spotting a bargain or obtaining a coin that seems underappreciated compared to the price. These little victories come in many forms and at unexpected times to people who prepare themselves to spot them.
