Picked up this crown sized, 1973 Egypt 1 pound silver coin, at my local coin store, complete with an airtite, to fit the 40mm coin. While it is fairly common (mintage of approximately 50,000), I find it to be one of the more attractive of the Egyptian issues. This one is probably around MS 63, or so, by my guess.
You want attractive Egypt coins ? My 2 King Tutankhamen proof coins... Someday in the far future I will get the 2 King Tut gold coins.
Both the Aswan Dam and the Tutankhamen are very nice Egyptian coins. Thanks for sharing. I've very seriously collected Egyptian coins. In the 1990s, I even tried to accumulate all the commemorative one and five Pound coins -- like the Tutankamen. The series had so many beautiful and interesting coins. However, there were eventually too many so that I gave up and only continue to collect or upgrade my pre-Arab Republic of Egypt coins.
