    Got this yesterday, it‘s not a common year like 1926 or 1932.

    This is a relatively new addition for me. I’ve owned a few pieces of Classic Head gold over the decades, but not many, and I never thought I’d own another one, since they’ve moved into the outer limits of my somewhat modest budget.

    A somewhat better Date. This year with the Denver mintmark is Generally on the lacklustre side. Fortunately the Strike is above average.

    Please, for the sake of my mild OCD tendencies, print a little label to put inside that Capital Plastics holder and cover up that “Anthony $” inscription! ;)

    I had the previous year, 1978, in one of those half-ounce proofs. (PCGS PR66 DCAM, formerly NGC PR67 UCAM).

    The 1977 with the bouquet of flowers is the one I always wanted.

    Still, the flying geese here (each representing one of the provinces) is a lovely design.

    We admittedly got a wee bit off track there, and strayed a bit from old gold. (I got into a side conversation with @expat about those Canadian $100 proofs, which are lovely, but yes, a tad modern.)

    To make up for that, here’s one that truly is old. At least 1,456 years old- and Mint State at that. And it cost me less than 400 bucks, including slab fees.

    Justinian has always had one of those noses. That's a pretty coin Lord.

    He does have quite a schnoz there, now that you mention it.

    Charles III of Spain had an even bigger honker on his face.

    Thanks. I know my pics aren’t the best but it does look better in hand. It was the nicest out of the five I had to choose from but at the same time I was just picking it up as bullion.

    This coin is unlikely to get a high grade from a grading company but I like it anyway.
