Nice, is that 2nd one a mirror image of the 1rst one???

 

Likely coming to a toning premium thread near you soon...

A Dominican Republic pattern for a gold coin, but struck in silver (they were actually struck in a number of different metals). This is listed in the Krause Unusual World Coin Guide and the mintage is estimated to be 40.

 

The toning makes it look gold anyway. nice coin.

 

I have always found these two related coins to be intriguing.

They have incuse (concave) and relief (convex) designs that would theoretically "fit" together. Quite low mintages (2,500), and I have actually never seen another pair.

 

Very cool. I have never seen these before either.

 

I'll add a little color to the thread with these neon Cats.





Pics from Dazzling Coins.

 

Let's see I took that by placing the coin in a flashlight reflector, then crop it. I wanted to show the edge lettering.

 

I just bought one of these on Daniel Carr's website, pretty cool for only $20.

 

You got it, sorry for the delay, been busy, busy, busy.

I have these 6 graded. I have 2 more being graded the Ike & Morgan O/S. The Morgan is very unique. When I get them back from ANACS I'll get a shot of them all together. All are hard to come by, I was very lucky to obtain these. Mintages, Brass 21, Copper 21, Silver Polished 43, Silver Satin 35, Antiqued 7, MS Plated 13, Morgan O/S 21, Ike O/S 11......Also my pictures do no justice to these medals, lots better in hand.

 

Here's the Ike O/S. The reverse shows parts of the host coin. Can you see them?

 

Here's the Morgan O/S which has become my favorite. The obverse and reverse show parts of the host coin. The obverse is like a puzzle. It was stuck on a 1886 Morgan. What parts of the host coin do you see?

 

Same bar, different angles.

 

I like all of them, thanks for posting them. Those bars though, are really making me regret not getting at least one of them. They are very nice, and are growing on me.

 

I can definitely see signs of the host coin behind Merlin, and even more on the reverse (?) Very nice.

 

Haven't seen this one before, time to visit his site again.

 

Here's a couple medals from Relentlessdefender.com. incredible in hand. Pics don't do them justice. Super high relief especially on the "Honor the Fallen" piece.

A set of hologram Maples.



A UFO coin... (unidentified foreign object)

 

I am a US coin guy, so where would you go to purchase a spider coin.

 

I would start with EBAY. There are some from Australia, as well as other countries. I can tell you that the one I posted is not cheap though. There are a few that are much closer to silver spot price. Try a search for coins with spiders, or similar.
