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.

Haven't posted this one in a while. In hand, this thing is so bright and reflective that you wouldn't believe its real. But it is:
This one is my favorite toned coin in my collection Its a 1930 Icelandic 10 Kronur Its now in a NGC holder with a MS-65 label.
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
Here is one of my favorites> AV 2 Dukaten 1578 Salzburg Archbishop Johann Jakob Khuen Von Belasi with Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor still top boss! Love the Habsburg Double Headed Eagle!
