I would take the gold because I have all of the others (besides that 1839/6 cent - that one is quite tempting too!). BTW, that is an interesting...
There are some really nice coins in this thread. Nice to see so CT'ers appreciate the old coppers. I don't have many new ones (at least worth...
I agree the Caligula and Claudius denarii are quite a bit scarcer than those of Nero. Everytime one shows up in an auction here in Germany the...

A recent pick-up. I have gone through all of the varieties in my Large Cent book (Breen's), and have narrowed it down to S-124. Maybe one...
