[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 3723311, member: 75143"]I chose 24 because that's how many slots this display case has. The vast majority of these coins are general circulation issues and can be found for very low prices - usually $1 or less. A few are nicer and more expensive. Enjoy! In no particular order... 1. 1999 Portugal 50 Escudos. I am a huge fan of ships, and this one certainly doesn't disappoint. A bit of toning on the edges doesn't show up, but is nice in hand. [ATTACH=full]998053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]998054[/ATTACH] 2. 1947 Panama 1 Balboa. This nice, large 90% silver coin has a gorgeous female figure on one side and a pretty neat Balboa profile on the other. [ATTACH=full]998055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]998056[/ATTACH] 3. 1876-S US Seated Liberty Quarter. This is a severely damaged coin, but I love it. It has contemporary graffiti of four initials. I always like to think that some young man kept this around as a portable "notch on the bedpost," recording his sexual conquests. Who knows, though.
