I think your idea of a 200-coin limit has much merit. Manageable size. Quality over quantity. And selling 5 or 6 "lesser" coins to buy a...
Love it. I have always liked this type anyway, though I didn't know they struck gold coins with this "retro" design! My birthyear, too.
Good for you. It was attractive enough.
Graffiti or no, that is a handsome coin, a solid black-and-white CircCam, and a no-brainer in the ~$100s. @Randy Abercrombie - oh! That...
Nice.
I already eat lots of ramen noodles, and we cut the cable (indeed, the TV as well) about two years ago. But I digress. Where were we? Still on...

And I'd be interested to know what's going on inside those punches in that Teos griffin I just posted. The shapes in there are beguilingly...
Here's an archaic griffin. Let's have another punchmarked archaic coin next. [ATTACH]
Because there are more images than will fit in a single CoinTalk post, I will direct you to my Collectors Universe post to see the list. You may...
My much, much cheaper little cousin from India. Similar portrait, anyway. ;) PCGS AU58. [IMG]
I might go VF30-35 to be conservative, but you could make a case for XF, I suppose. It's pretty close. Lovely coin, regardless of the technical...
