All I can say is WOW!!! Awesome collection. The effects on the butterfly are beautiful. I am going to have to figure that one out. I really...
I'll have to find one of those. A real "world" coin with the arms from 14 countries. Thanks for sharing, Derick.
This is the 2000 5 Peso Butterfly I had been searching for over 5 years. I finally was able to locate one in Finland of all places. Took about 3...
Next we have the 1953 5 Peso Hidalgo. This coin was minted from 1951-1954. [ATTACH] This is the 1968 Olympic Commemorative I mentioned earlier....
For years I have been building a collection of World Silver coins. Most would be considered bullion or collector coins. However I have been...
A present from my Son-in-law and Daughter, Xmas 2010. She told me it was from DADenver.

[ATTACH][ATTACH] A couple I have had for a while. I don't know if natural or artificial, but I do like them either way.
So you also see weak strike and no wear. That is what had me confused. The lettering is sharp, but the details are weak. Do you think it will pass...
Oh, but I am! I also love and collect other types.
I am having a hard time assinging a grade to this Indian Head Cent. The luster looks good, but the strike is either very weak, or something else...
I believe the Britannias to be one of the most beautiful series ever. I have an example of each design since 1997. They are the showcase of my...
Not 100% positive, but they changed the lettering on the obverse in 1991. Yours has the old style lettering on "ONZA" AND "PLATA PURA".
