I agree. There's no contest between the two, in my opinion. That one has nicer surfaces and a lower pricetag and, to me, better eye appeal than...
Sounds even more fun than FUN, as I'm a confirmed World coins guy. <and I at least partially agree with your comment about US coin dealers> But...
W = wonderful! Making pocket change fun again.
If you want another place to search for fixed price offerings, don't forget the big European counterpart to VCoins: M-A Shops.
I'm gonna take a little break before we put out Round 2, but I'll be back!
Time for the drawing for Round 1. Our lucky number was... 17! [ATTACH] And Post #17 was by... @SensibleSal66 ! Congrats, Sal! I'll need a...

Reminds me of an old story of mine… :nailbiting:
I’m wondering if I should add an eighth mystery coin prize round at the end of this cointest. Perhaps a piece of Roman silver might be nice, hmm? ;)
I’ll try to catch up and do the Round 1 drawing when I get home, if I’m not too tired after graveyard shift. Because of all the hyperlinks...
Oh, wow! Now that’s a medieval coin to admire!
LOL @ that old picture. My sister puts out a family calendar every year, and it so happens that that old pic of me and Roadie the Foster Kitten...
Thanks!
I guess there were Bolivian belly dancers somewhere…
