I have one of each laying around here somewhere, (actually more than 1 each), but suck at photographs. </p><p><br /></p><p>The ones where they engraved the "countermark" into the coin directly is my favorite. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
