Featured What is a "CircCam", you ask? Look and see! And post yours!

Dude.

I like yours as much - or maybe more - than mine (which, as you saw, is an iridescent toner rather than a CircCam).

 

Yes, in hand and nice. Came in a swap from @dadams.

 

Chile (Spanish Colonial): silver 2-reales coin of Charles IV of spain, 1807-So FJ, Santiago mint

 

It's true. CircCams are easy to shop for based on photographs, and photograph relatively easily in comparison to other toned coins. In fact, before I graduated from a flatbed scanner, I used to get pretty decent scans of them, straight from the scanner, with no tweaking needed:

 

I like 'em both, too, but particularly the '77-CC. Nice "crusty" look.

 

Some of these Seated dime love tokens from an old collection of mine were CircCams on one side and engraved on the other.

1880 (key date - rare Philadelphia-only issue w/36K mintage- a lucky $7.50 cherrypick - later sold for $125-ish)


1881 (another Philly-only key date year - this with an even lower 24K mintage)

 

That coin was struck looooong before any country called Scotland existed!

 

That coin is from Olbia, which is in Italy (technically on the island of Sardinia), in the Mediterranean. I don't know how old it is, but it's from the BC era. That puts it centuries before Caledonia, even (which was the Roman name for Scotland) ... let alone before any modern form of Scotland existed.

But since @scottishmoney was the person who posted it, your confusion is understandable.
