Now I want one.
Here’s the last one I have. It’s very modern but it counts as a cityview. New theme: churches/cathedrals/temples. Austria: 2008 silver proof...
Is that €1,800? Seems like a nice price for that.
Gotcha.
We’re on the 1909 VDB Lincoln cent now.
Love that Eisleben! Next up is my modern klippe with a Stuttgart city view. I’ve got one more cityview coin left after this. Germany...
Does Moby Dick really say a Spanish sovereign? If so, Melville must’ve been slightly confused (or COINfused, as the case may be.)
People holed coins for a variety of reasons. Yes, I used to have some coins with square nail holes. Not sure I have any now. Here’s a 1731...
I needed this type, the Barber half, for my holed Basic 19th Century Type Set, which is pinned to a cork board on my desk. I got this coin for 73...
Ahh, I love cityviews! Seeing one in gold is impressive. Here’s one in silver. I also have two others which are more modern. Swiss Cantons...
OK, folks, it’s Sunday the 25th, and now we move into the Lincoln cents. The first subtype we’ll encounter is of course the Lincoln Cent VDB...

Never seen that Moroccan type. I like how the Portuguese one looks semi-prooflike.
Not a coin, but I once bought my sister a small blue and white porcelain bowl from the Hoi An shipwreck, known for its beautiful 15th century...
Yes it does, and the first time it was shared here, @-jeffB wondered aloud if the coin “had its original skin or not”. And around that point, I...
Speaking of 1907… I also popped dozens of ‘em outta the dirt, back in my diggin’ days. Most were rough, of course, but some were quite nice (for...
I’ve been a World coin collector for decades, but I cannot recall ever having owned a single piece from Bhutan, even in my bulk bag cherrypicking...
I beg to differ. Full LIBERTY and veins in the feathers. Nice even coloration with just a hint of woodgrain look. No problems or distractions....
