What an awesome collection. Much to be proud of there.
They are ALL wonderful coins, but I do have several favorites. I can't just pick one or two.
1. The 1st coin listed, I don't have and would like to add an electrum coin to my collection.
2. 1799 US $1
3. 1804 1/2 Cent
4.Feuchtwangers are always a favorite of mine. I have a couple circulated pieces but that MS64 is loaded with eye appeal.
5. 1853 1/2 Cent
6. 1851-O 3c
7. 1852 Ty. 2 Gold $1
8. 1900 Lafayette $1
9. 1901 Great Britain 1/2 Sov
10. 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentenial

 

Just curious, any coin or coins that will never hit the trade block?

 

These are really cool! I always thought that most medieval coins were just less artistic than roman coins, they seemed to be mostly just flat lines. While that still seems to be true with Byzantine coins (I still have to make a post about that) these coins are fantastic! The level of detail is something I didn't expect, it's one of the reasons I like coins from the late medieval period. The heavily-detailed coat of arms and the portraits just capture my fascination. Also, the swords are cool. It's really a shame we don't get coins like this anymore.

 

Wow, beyond impressive and very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

 

Thanks for sharing, a very attractive set overall.

My favorite ancient is the Claudius Sestertius (I hope I said that right, I have no experience with ancients...)

My favorite world coin is the Pillar Dollar.

And as for the US, I like the Seated Liberty Dollar and the V Nickel.

 

Thanks for sharing your collection. I guess I will have to collect vicariously through your collection because I have neither the time nor the money to do it myself.

 

As always your collection is stunning!
My top 3 favorite are the
#1 Ionia electrum hekte
#2 Calabria drachm
#3 Teutonic order 1/4 taler
Very hard to chose any as a favorite on your list so I can imagine how hard it is to sell a coin and get a new one. Congrats on an amazing collection!

 

I also was curious. Do you have a U.S type set going on that list? It certainly looks like it!

 

No sir. Thank you for posting it, I was truly blessed to see your hard work. Absolutely amazing!

So glad for you, my friend. That is quite an accomplishment!

 

That makes 2 of us! But, I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled with what I have. It's not in this category, but I've had fun, and I'm still having fun putting it together.

 

Wow,this is an overwhelming collection! Stunning, beautiful... where superlatives aren't enough! Well done!!!

gold tremissis of Justinian I amazes me that an MS survived from that time!

 

Understandable. There are plenty of ancient coins I would rather have over a U.S type set!

 

Breathtaking, thanks for posting.
Incredible collection!

 

I had a lot of fun figuring out the Persian inscriptions on the Persia Toman of Fath-Ali Shah when I was fooling around with Islamic and Arabic coins.

 

I always enjoy seeing these updates! I don't have one favorite but I see some types that we both like-the Pillar, the Philippines Peso, the Japan Yen (Dragon), the Trade Dollar (nice circulated cameo look there), and the gold Sesquicentennial among just a few. I'm also glad to see that ex-ddddd pieces make up 2% of the set.
