Post Your Favourite Coin Here

just thought this might be a bit of fun, how about posting your favourite coin here and a reason to why it is would be nice to read too


My favourite has to be the gothic crown,it was only made in 2 years.There is just so much going on in this coin.

The lettering is mystic, the coin realy has no personal relevance other than the minute i saw it i was awe struck by its beauty.The queen looks beautiful on it too.This coin is a true masterpiece and work of art.I also have never found anyone yet to disagree that its truly one of the most fantastic coins theve ever seen.

When i eventually feel i can spend some money on a never to be sold again purchase then this will be surely what i buy.

Here are a few of my favorites. Been a while since these were sold and haven't been lucky enough to find anymore yet.

Highlander,
Wow beautiful coin.
What is the cost and where do you find such a gem?

 

yeah chards has that one and i can practically see his shop from my window .

i think sylvester bought one not sure,the going rate is from fair about 1200 usd to au+ about 10,000+ usd

 

Very interesting 1860 Half Eagle, ND.

Could you elaborate more on it?

 

You did say "your favorite coin", not necessarily "the favorite coin in your collection", didn't you?

Japan 1860-1862 (Manen Era) Gold Oban; Signed in Ink; AU with degraded inking; 112.4g, .366 gold (1.32 oz. AGW), 82x138mm.

If anyone is interested, I know of a reputable dealer who has one for sale for only $20,500 - way below the low end of the 2005 JNDA catalog value - ¥2-million ($140,000)

 

Well this eagle is not on a coin but I caught some pictures of it at my oldest child's school's playing field.

 

I received this as a gift from my brother. Yes. He has too much time on his hands.

 

aint that a war nickle

 

It's from San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco - SSS mint mark.

 

i likes my sixpenceS...

 

i just sold a 1697 one

 

This is not an expensive coin as far as price ,however, the subject matter holds a great appeal to me. 20 franc ANXI

 

I got two of those. I think one was the first bust/third reverse, and the other was the third obverse/third reverse. Although i haven't looked in a while because i've been concentrating on my hammered collection.

But there's my 1693...




And there's a 1694 somewhere too...

 

Here's one of the '97s...

 

My new favorite the "Potty Dollar" See dthigpen's example. A very rare find indeed.
