    Here's the True View of another interesting piece I picked up, a William IV shilling in PCGS 55.

    Maybe not coins per-se (Jetons) but I picked these up a number of years ago and kind of forgot I had them until just the other night when I ran across them again. The toning is much nicer in hand. The 1831's have a fantastic cameo contrast.

    Interesting. It doesn't seem to have a denomination (unless there's edge lettering?). I think I'd have probably called it a medal rather than a coin unless I knew otherwise.

    Your right....The 10 Kronur is along the edge. It was intended to be a coin,,But it was never signed into law so some people call it a metal.

    My first large gold Panda and the eye appeal, at least to me, is off the freakin' charts. For the first few days I couldn't stop randomly picking it up and just staring... I think I'm hooked on 'em now :D

    The luster on this is much stronger in hand - flashy and colorful:

    150th Anniversary of the Penny Black Gold 5 Crown. I understand less than 199 were minted.
