The Most Beautiful/Attractive Coin You Own.

The Tercentenary of the Bank of England 1994 Two Pound Coin

This one isn't mine...but I couldn't be bothered to take a picture of mine and stick it on the net. (also mine isn't gold)


I love the Britannia portrait in the middle...also the Font.

A very English Coin.

Its always the newest coin I have gotten....but right now it would either a Boone Comm...or a 1921 Buff Nickel in XF.

Speedy

 

1938 d/d ms64 buffalo toned in beautiful reds and oranges

 

eddyk, that is quite an attractive coin. I think my most attractive ones are my proof silver eagles, and
my 1899-O Morgan dollar in MS-65.

 

My style of collecting is to collect the most interesting or beautiful I can find.


A silver Nazi coin minted between the years of 1939-1945 might not look stunning but it's very interesting.

A gold Philharmonic from Austria doesn't really have any history behind it....but it looks stunning.




Current beautiful coins on my list to get are....
A Texas and Oregon Commem half Dollar.
A gothic Florin
A 2003 Proof Britannia



But these all run in excess of $100 each.

My question....what beautiful coins do you know of which don't come with a large price tag?

From all over the world this is.

 

Tough choice, and you know some of us won't be able to choose, myself included.

(Also, I love that 2003 Britannia, eddyk! Those Britannias certainly have the best designs of all modern coinage.)

I'll be back to this thread again when I get better scans - you just can't appreciate ugly images!

 

eddyk... my current want list is:
Oregan Half
Gothic Florin
King George III Half Crown/Shilling (bulldog portrait)
Any Britannia proof (preferably 1997)
You sound like competition!!

I did get my hands on a VERY nice looking coin a few weeks back for less than $25...
an Italian 2 Lira coin with the 4 horses shown below... my new favorite
Picture is a bit grainy, its not the coin's fault...

 

WOW! Love that 2 Lira design!

 

"To me" this is the best looking coin I've got, an 1832 Half Dime, AU-53. While it's not the largest or best condition Bust Coin in my collection it's special and was listed in the JRCS Population Report for Capped Bust Half Dimes.

 

A coin that caused much grief for me whence it was purchased(didn't have permission from my Master) and spent a month in the doghouse for it:



So then I agreed to sell it later. But so far later hasn't come and it has been a couple of years. But it has cost me...jewellery, trips, dinner etc.

 

WOW, I love it...

 

This is a tough question, but this might be the one.

 

My mistake, it is a godless florin I want, not a gothic.

Look at it...




The italian 2 lira is amazing.

 

LOL - all of them in their own special way.

 

It's a hard question but my 1917-P Type 1 , standing liberty quarter. 1917-P's usually come with the best full head strikes of any SLQ. rzage

 

WOW! I hope you get your hands on one!
I beleive that Victoria's portrait on both the godless and gothic are the same... I would love any (esp a prooflike one u show) Besides being a lovely coin, I hope to collect the various portraits of Victoria...

The 1832 10c and 1799 coins are also awesome!

 

Here it is.....

2006 Reverse Proof AGE....

Enjoy!!

Ditto that ~ my favorite is usually my latest.

 

Absolutely some fantastic coins here. My most valuable and most thought of coin is the one I use to buy something. I like coin collecting but I like spending money more.
