Post Your Old Gold !

I have a weakness for gold. Much more fun finding 62's around melt plus a little then buying modern AGE's.

1915 (restrike) Austria 100 Corona

 

This one is new to us. Hard to locate problem-free.

 

That's one of those coins that I'd be proud to own even if it had problems. Beautiful example!

 

A Good old raw Saint
Seems to be a very Late die State

 

Only 800 years old.
Muwahhid dobla of Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad 1199-1213 AD. The Muwahhids ruled Spain and Morocco. Castile, Navarre, and Aragon defeated the Muwahhids at the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212 AD giving the Christians control over Andalusia.

 

Closest I can come to ANY old gold is my Rolled Gold...I've always got a bag of the latter in the cupboard...prefer the original large twists or the sticks.

 

1905 Quarter Eagle:

 

Like previously stated, "nothing special". But, it's very welcome in my "type" collection (my "type" collection is anything I don't have a "type" of, lol).

 

Two half eagles I recently purchased, and an Aureus of Nero, minted in Rome c. AD 64.

 

Well, I've got something else that I think falls within the parameters of the OP? If it doesn't, please forgive me, but I'm very glad to have it. Loving history, it certainly piqued my interest, and I love Ship wrecks, too! I know it's small, but an actual gold nugget from the 1849 California Gold Rush Era! Did I mention, I love it! Ok, I'll shut up, now, lol. Blessings

 

My credit score dropped ten points when I bought this. lol
1855 $20 ICG MS61

 

1923 M sovereign

 

Picked this one up for my type set to fill in the $20 Liberty Type 2 slot. Although it is a low MS coin, the contrast is really great on this example. The $20 Liberty is one of my favorite US coin designs. I wish the mint would do a modern re-issue of the $20 Liberty. Imagine a proof and reverse proof issue .

 

Too late for the 100th anniversary of the series end; guess we'll need to wait for 2049...

 

Already posted in new acquisitions but had to post here. I already had one of these, but could not resist getting another because of the color on this example. Hope you like it as much as I do.

 

Pretty coin. I love the color. Did the copper in the mix help create the nice color?

 

A scarce and early 5 Mark Gold coin from Germany
