Randomness

 

Here's a few I got recently that I haven't shared yet.

 

One of my favorite pictures I've ever taken... the reflection of the coin off the inside of the slab makes it look like the devices are floating.

 

Ha, that's the one I immediately thought of to post. It's my oldest coin, which some probably consider "modern."

I have so many world coins from grandpa it's hard to decide what else to post. I really like the design on this one.

 

From the French Revolution of 1792. The embossed seal still has the image of Louis XVI, although it is hard to see, even in hand. I bought this from a bookseller's stand on the Left Bank when I was a student in Paris. (Louis was already gone by the time I bought this. )

 

your pictures are great!

 

I like large Mexican Gold, a friend said he found a large Mexican Gold piece and sent me a picture.

I replied close but still worth like $40/$50 in conversation to US.
Nice find.

 

If you ever get tired of owning this beauty of a coin, well you know. My Metal Detecting bucket lister.

 

I bought this many years ago from a flea market vender for only $1 because he said it didn't have a date and it was beat up. It has a date, L'AN 5 (Sept 22, 1796-Sept 21, 1797). It looks more beat up than it is because it is an overstrike of a 5 Centime over a Decime (10 Centime). The face on the obverse is smashed because of the overstrike, and the remnants of the word DECIME can be seen on the reverse, inverted. It shows better in hand, but the ME can be seen on this photo. My old (1982) Krause lists this as "Reported but not confirmed."

I hate to admit it but that's one of the primary reasons I had to have at least an AU (settled for a UNC/cleaned) 1917 SLQ since they covered it in later versions and as for the 1916 well lets just say I doubt I'll ever own one

 

You gotta bleed gold to afford one of those 1916's, but your coin looks really nice!

 

Physics loves a mirrored coin. It's a lovely sight to hold such a PL example. The surfaces dance under the lights.

 

Whats the host coin look like?

 

I like to share coins with my India coworkers.
