eddyks Coin Diary.

And this I found on the 'sidewalk' in Reno, Nevada on my last few days there.


I dropped it down inbetween the seats in my car on the way back from Heathrow Airpot and didn't see it again until last month.
I then by pure chance after typing in to google 'Reno Coin' found it.
It is a Gospel coin and on the website it gives specific instructions on where to leave the coins in places were people will find them and pick them up; places listed include sidewalks.

Ripped the postmans hand of when I saw a package had arrived from the USA.

 

Love that gold!! I have just went through the whole thread and youv'e added some very nice coins to your collection. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more additions.

PS... is that a quarter or half Eagle?

As a kind note, please remember that I am bidding on this piece.

I do have my sniping software in place at this time and plan on bidding with only 2 seconds to go!

[I hope that they take American Express.]

So, please don't bid against me!

WHat coin are you talking about? Tom

 

It was a Barber Half.

Forgot the date/mint.


Unusually for someone over here I'm a big fan of the american coins. They have such fantastic designs to them.

 

My other gold.

It is a gold 1996 European Cup £2 Commemorative coin.

Here it is sat next to a circulated type of one of these coins.

 

That's a nice looking coin. I think that the North Dakota and the Alaska are my two favorite state quarters.

 

Only 3 more left to collect!

 

Got this today...as a present. (cost to them - $18)






I am the sort of collector who collects one example of each coin type I take a fancy to and do not go by dates etc.

This is what that replaced...

The melt value of the coin alone is $3.16

 

Here it is...$1.03

This was $16 however.


I could not afford to get them all...but I will collect the ones from the states I have been to.
