[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 419335, member: 15488"]At this time I really don't have any cool US Coins. I do have several, but nothing like what you guys are posting. I plan to start type set collection. Any ideas on where to start without spending a lot of dollars? I'm thinking of starting with the 5 cents, since I currently have less of these than anything else. Where do I go to find the coins other than the internet and ebay. As of now my favorite coin is a 2001 Ultimate Franc, or "un untime franc" as stated on the obverse. The reverse has only the number 1. The edge lettering has :Republique Francaise Starck Liberte Egalite Fraternite 2001" Its hard to see in the photo but the coin is intentionally struck warped. This is a very unique coin. It has a Matte finish which was bead blasted. 0.9800 Silver which has .5599 oz. ASW. Mintage was 49,838. The blemishes are from the plastic holder. I have searced high and low for a proper holder for this coin. Since it is warped, none of the regular coin holder will fit it.[/QUOTE]
