I like the black cores too. They especially look nice with mirrored proof coins! I think I'm in the minority here, but the new 10 point system...
What comes to mind is the Australian holey dollar and dump. I don't think I've ever seen a graded one, but my bet is they are straight graded too...
Personally, with the innovation dollars and now the women's quarters, I am glad to see the designs of coinage changing. This one in particular...

A lovely 8 heller from Cologne. NGC AU 58. Part of my first coin grading submission. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't know about price, but I'd guess XF-AU

A new purchase just in today. A gorgeous 2017 Swiss Shooting Festival coin with a limited 1,200 proof only mintage. I got this thing for a steal...

I buy frequently from eBay. As @dimeguy said, im leery of buying any key dates there. As mostly a world collector, I've found numerous great...
Congrats! A wonderful coin!
I'm a sucker for different finishes on coins and this is a set that I find really cool.
When we get to the 1600s I can finally show a few!!!!

I hear you about Instagram. If it's a good price, you have to snag it quick or it's gone! I don't have a single proof to share, but I love all...

Separate names with a comma.
