    Almost bid on that one! Beautiful coin.

    One of a set of three 2 lire coins I bought. Already sold one, now selling this one but will keep the last, the most vibrantly toned of the three.

    This one my grandfather carried with him and his brother from Italy. There would have been 4 50L gold coins but the guards at Ellis island took them.

    This one is not expensive but it's really clean and almost looks like a matte proof

    That reverse is epic. Why can't they do designs like this on today's coinage?

    What did you pay for this particular one, I am curious as I know nothing about them.

    I have always wanted to have some coins graded but I don't know much about how or where to go, who is trustworthy etc.... I have done some research.

    Bought it in a set of 3 for $120 total, which was a decent deal. My guess is I'll get $50-60 for it. Italian coinage around the 1910s-30s included a number of beautiful designs - if you're interested, I'd recommend checking out the Numista chronological breakdown of Italian coins starting here.

    I've been gone a while but it's always great to come back! Mine is a 1792 Barbados Penny Proof Restrike. I won it off a Heritage Auction this week. It's been 'silvered' to look like the rare silver proof, which I don't mind, it adds a little character and story to it. A little spotty but still a neat addition that fits into my Latin Coppers collection... J image.jpg image.jpg

    This just came back from PCGS, list on coinfacts is $230, realistically goes for $400 ( mintage of 5000 ). I just thought it looked cool and the shop that had it didn't know what it was but "pretty sure it's silver" so I got it for melt, $22.

    This I picked up because my daughter likes turtles. No, I do not have a clear focus for collecting.
