Poseidon/Galley from Arados, Phoenicia 140 BC

 

Well, if you want to go back about two millennia, here's one that might fit the bill:



NERO
AE Sestertius (26.56 g.) Lugdunum circa 65 A.D.
NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P Laureate head of Nero left. Rev. PORT AVG Port of Ostia, river Tiber reclining below.

There are seven (7) different types of ships on this reverse.

 

Does a US silver round count? Not a coin, not foreign, but a cool looking ship nonetheless.

 

3 modern canuck commemoratives

 

A classic USA commemorative from the city where I was born.

 

I was to born Next to Hudson NY too! Just a cross the Rip Van Winkle in Catskill NY+Passed up a full Bu Roll of the Hudson Half dollar.as they were $25.00 a roll. Ya I know Dumb

 

I wished I owned a nice Hudson half dollar. They are mighty expensive, usually in the $1750-$2000 range for MS65.

 

1958 when I was a kid throwing newspapers $25.00 was to far out of my budget coin wise.Barbers maybe a $1.00-1.50 and Bu Walkers + Franklin s were not much over face. not 3x Face at a Junk Shop Only open in the summertime in Leeds NY locals called the tourist trap . Plus in the Hudson Vally their were less than 3-5 coin shops back then.But yet Today still think about that roll and what $$$$$.00 I passed up.

 

KM 45 Union SA ½ Penny, 1959 and 1960 MS65 and 64.

 

Jello, that is seriously sad indeed. I share your sentiment. Look back at some of those early US Lincoln cents at the values ms65. They were just cents then. So, why would we not gather current coinage at best grades. Because it is not cool enough, we want the pay premiums for older coins! When I came to Chile, the first strikes 500 pesos were in circulation and were good for a beer. Now, a UNC of those specimens are worth 2500 US. So, I keep all good coins from around the world where I go and I have hundreds. Maybe, my children can get some COIN out of them. Do not know how I will get the stuff out of the country though.

 

I hear ya Derick Should of can come back and bite ya in your assets .
