Well thank you! I like it too. Something about real small gold coins, --the avatar being a Costa Rica 2 Colons-- that makes them screaming little...
I wonder what the largest or heaviest coin ever slabbed would be. Kind of doubt either of these were cracked-out.
You're probably right. And yet, who looks at anything but the date and mint mark on a 1916-d at first? If you want to see the design elements,...
Okay, it will never pass for finest known. But in the absence of a Fr2+ grade, does anyone else think this coin has a shot at AG3 if resubmitted?...
Well that makes two of us then. I like those Hapsburg coins too. I have the Lady in The Clouds 100 Corona and have always wanted to add a nice...
One of my favorite designs too. I once had the 1976 Chile 100 Peso (KM213) but it was no better than MS60. No real wear, just a lot of cabinet...
Amazing that it circulated for quite some time without getting lost.
I don't think it got much better than this from the Soviets, at least in terms of art. There was the 100 Rouble gold Peter The Great coin that was...
[ATTACH][ATTACH]Mine isn't as nice as some of the others that are slabbed, but a Panama Pill just the same...,,
Very cool little coin. How much gold could have been above ground back then?? The entire known supply of gold world-wide back then couldn't have...
1934 Fiji Silver FLORIN nice AU for wear but XF for color. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Which reminds me of my all-time favorite Richard J. Daily Sr. press conference back in the 1960s. A young woman reporter asked him "Mr. Mayor,...
That is, afterall, how Johnny Cash stole the Cadillac from the GM factory; one piece at a time in his big lunch box.
$200 in the bank and 7 million in gold in his garage...,,gotta love that....
Well, it's still not as bad as my all-time favorite Northeast Numismatic coin, the 1912 Bulgarian 100 Leva in a PF68 holder. The sword through...
From Northeast Numismatic.... Holy CoW(!) An MS61(!) ---I should let them send mine in for grading, probably come back as an MS64 instead of...

The coin depicts the LZ-127 aka "Graf Zeppelin" which was launched in 1928, but made it's most memorable flight in 1929 when it travelled around...
We have a winner! Weak strike but with very original fields and nice color. Thought it might sneak into an MS holder, but no such luck. Correct...
I picked-up the 1911-c along with the 1917-c and 1919-c at a coin show about 12 years ago for a hundred bucks each. Raw, but easily at least...
