I like the presentation and (as you know) can appreciate the broad interests you have. Series collecting of multiple coins of the exact same...
I don't want to derail this thread from the topic at hand - but the masterful Italian artistry has persisted into the modern era also. The coin...
Here is my example of the Quadriga Veloce 1 Lira (earlier style): [IMG] I also have an example of the 20 centesimi in NGC-64 - such a pretty...
@Morgandude11 - The prices for such wonderful coins also surprises me. My example of the 1916 2 Lire graded PCGS MS64 was purchased 5 years ago...
The sculpture on which the coin design was based is quite stunning. It is located in Brescia. You can see that the original Quadriga driver was...
@Morgandude11 - IMO one of the prettiest and most artistic coinage designs of the pre-WW1 20th Century Era! As you can imagine, I love this...
MS64 sounds about right. The black spot at 12 o’clock on the obverse is distracting, and this is an original looking coin but a little mottled...
I have only one Maundy coin: 1868 4 pence [IMG]
An Essai silver piece in my collection. [IMG]
Whether it is authentic or counterfeit - It’s also harshly (I mean Brillo pad level) cleaned.

I don’t get crossovers. If you need a specific brand of plastic, buy your coins in that brand of plastic. My unsolicited 2 cents.
I have maybe a 100 riders on horse numismatic items (give or take) among my horses collection. You can view them in a custom set on NGC’s site here.
I’d post more but the fact that you still can’t post pics via URL is sooooo annoying.

That’s fairly graded, and a lovely example of the type. The reverse is particularly stunning in detail - and let’s be honest, the reverse is the...
I am 63+ or 64.
More money than brains seems to be a fairly common affliction.
...67 or not, it’s ugly as sin.
Stupid high prices for negligible differences in subjective opinions of grade is a fool’s errand. Competitive registry sets may be good for the...
