For too long I did not have a Trade Dollar in my set and it wasn&#039;t for a lack of searching-I just hadn&#039;t seen the right one. When [USER=67575]@Mkman123[/USER] decided to disperse some of his collection, I pounced on this coin. Recalling when he first posted it years ago, I realized this was the look I had desired (and couldn&#039;t find elsewhere). You just don&#039;t see many borderline deep mirror prooflike AU Trade Dollars!</p><p><br /></p><p>Video: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CZavyTuLrIj/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CZavyTuLrIj/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/CZavyTuLrIj/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>(14) 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar PCGS AU 55</b></p><p><b><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/18-jpg.1120078/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Struck at the US Mint in San Francisco (dies prepared in Philadelphia), the Hawaii Half displays King Kalakaua.

You have an oddball denomination of 8 Euro, a modern commemorative coin that was technically considered circulating (with a mintage of 1,500,000), and an abstract design of a goalkeeper making a save. It&#039;s also the only example graded at PCGS and on top of that, features amazing colors! The coin was issued by Portugal as they were hosting the 2004 European Football (soccer) Championship-an event as unusual as the coin given the unexpected triumph of Greece over Portugal in the final.</p><p><br /></p><p>Video: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVN8oOdLvwj/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVN8oOdLvwj/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/CVN8oOdLvwj/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>(20) 2017 Kazakhstan 100 Tenge NGC PF 70 UCAM</b></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20-jpg.1120081/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Moderns can be beautiful and this one drew me in. A bimetallic coin, it effectively uses tantalum for the turtle’s shell while the rest of the design is well executed in silver. Another bonus was that I received the 70 grade (not something that I often chase, but still fun to see it when sending in your own raw coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>Video: none[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
