You said "coins", so I like U.S. silver Washington quarter, 1947 (my birth year)
U.S. gold quarter-eagle ($2.50), Liberty Head type, 1907 (nice gold)
U.S. silver Morgan dollar, 1881-S (nice, shiny silver)
U.S. copper-nickel 3-cent piece, Liberty Head type, 1866 (nice looking oddity)
So U.S.Coins is my category choice!
And, as always, thanks for your involvement and your generosity, Lord M!

 

Entry Post.

My interest are all over the place. I have never been able to narrow my focus on any specific genre.

I really like the Panama: 1947 Silver Balboa. My grandparents were stationed in Panama for several years with my mom and uncle. These coins remind me of all the stories they used to tell us growing up.

I also like the Morgan Dollar. I am currently working on a MS collection of Morgan’s. Some I will probably never get due to the extreme cost but still enjoy trying to build a collection.

Also like the United States (New York): nickel silver private pattern cent, Feuchtwanger's Composition, 1837. I think it’s because the image of the eagle is so powerful.

And finally love the coins with majestic animals. The Somalia: silver 100-shillings, 2014; silver bullion coinage (elephant). The Belgian Congo: brass 2-francs, 1947. And the Greece (Spartans in Taras, Calabria, Italy): silver drachm; Athena and owl, ca. 302-281 BC

As you can see hard to pick a single category. You have so many wonderful coins with interesting histories. So I guess I would pick the category B: World Coins as my category.

If I have to be selected as a winner that would be awesome, but already enjoyed just exploring part of your collection. Thank you.

Hi Lord, my favorite is

German States (Teutonic Order): silver 1/4-thaler of Grand Master Maximilian of Austria, ca. 1615

I have always been a US collector but the last several years.. and drooling over your box each update ....has gotten me much more interested in the medieval time period and coins. Something about those early coins, esp6hammered is super cool!

Woukd certainly like any coin in this category.

Anyway, appreciate the generosity and keep up the great work on the box!

 

I’ll pass. I want to wait for #72. That’s my favorite lucky number

 

Wouldn’t know how to find #70 to be honest

 

To be honest, finding #70 wouldn't do you any good anyway. #70 is over and done with. We're currently in, and you're commenting on, #71 with #72 coming up, but regardless of which contest we're in, Lord Marcovan is a Great Guy for running these contests, don't you think?

 

Just a bump.

 

Entry Post - Catagory C - I like them all-but especially Somalia: silver 100-shillings, 2014; silver bullion coinage (elephant)
I have been working on getting a coin from every country. I have 84 so far, thanks to my travel agent parents, and my own travel. I have only bought a few. Thanks for the contest.

 

Entry Post (Late) - I really like the Lithuania half grosz. Aside from its brilliant design and beautiful quality for its age, it was right at the advent of alpha numeric dates on coinage. To me, that historical significance makes it one of the more interesting pieces. I would elect Category C if I were the lucky one.

Thanks to our fearless LordM for keeping the world a bit more interesting... and "eclectic."

I'd got for US coins

I do like that 3 cents.

I'm not a fan of ancients but also find myself strangely drawn to the Greek hekte.

I would choose category C if the small gods are kind.
Thanks LM for the generosity and opportunity.

 

Thanks for the update. Happy Hiatus!

 

Been on hiatus...is that like your backside.....

 

Who's this Hiatus Guy?

Thank you doing this contest. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Your Greek coin from Thrace is really impressive. I've just started learning about Greek coins and how to ID them.
I'd love any Ancient. I'm clueless about Medieval coins though, so that would be more fun research.
