I'll do that. It will get more relevant replies there.
Based on the way the poll has run for a while, I am going to declare @potty dollar 1878 the winner, if only by a narrow margin. Since I forgot to...
Wish I'd kept it.
The obverse does resemble Zeus. I suspect it is not ancient, though it likely is antique. I get a 19th century vibe off that. Just sayin'....
You do have a few attractive Mint State pieces in there. Not high value stuff, but nice indeed.
Awesome! You have to love a dealer like that. Here's a silver dirham of Kaykhusraw II that I owned. Sadly, the TPG I sent it to (PCGS, I think...
Welcome! Due to the hiccup that caused your post to appear four times, I deleted the three duplicates, so you’re eligible. :)
Looks like we’re tied 6 to 6 between the top two contenders. Guess we need to wait for a tiebreaker vote to come in before announcing the winner.

I’m not sure there is one? I think those “PG V” letters are mintmaster initials? Hmm. Let me look up the peso on Numista to see what...
I can’t believe the two Morgans and silver halves haven’t gotten a vote yet. I thought for sure that would be the easy favorite. I also didn’t...
I believe so.
I think I know which entry will be a clear favorite, but I'm personally going with @potty dollar 1878 's 1944 trench art engraved 1910 cent, for...
Please read the whole contest thread and vote on what you think the best find was. "Best" does not automatically mean the most valuable, though...
Some people do it because they have PCGS Registry sets, for one thing.
1895-PG V. PCGS MS61. This was not an inexpensive coin. But all Puerto Rican coins are scarce, and the peso in Mint State is particularly nice...
Congrats, @Omegaraptor ! Not too many folks get ancient gold for their first gold coin! I don’t own any Byzantine gold bigger than a tremissis....
