Not a whole lot.... but here is all my gold:

 

The piece I showed at the start is my only piece...so if I didn't find it, I wouldn't have any!!

 

I'm surprised that nobody has posted a Swiss 20 Franc yet.
This is my wife's favorite coin:

 

How could I hae a name like Scottishmoney wi'ou posting some Scots cunyie:




This is a 22 Shillings or half lion from the reign of Queen Mary of Scotland. She was a young lass of 11 but already quite tall for a woman especially in her day. She would eventually be about 6' tall - much taller than most men of her day.

I wish my wife had a favorite coin then I could have more!

 

I drool over that 1911-D. Only blank spot in my Indian quarter Eagles. Yours is a beauty!

 

It’s a proof bullion coin, but I think it’s one of the most beautiful in US coinage — at least for the modern era.

 

Thanks. I bought that one first, then the 1914-D and the rest followed. I bought the best I could get at the time. I just couldn't afford a higher grade. It is an expensive coin. You can get a weak D for under $3000 but I wanted the strong D. A slight price difference. I'm sure you'll fill that slot one day.

 

My wife's favourite coin is the one I will never own. Her least favourite are the ones I do own.
