My SLQ collection got me started - and my first posting and the reason I joined CoinTalk after years of lurking as a Guest, was when I found my 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter and had it graded / authenticated which was very exciting for me, but I'd say these are three of my current fascinations that I'd like to share - two of which are NGC body bagged (and thus I could afford them, lol) - a 3 cent 1837 Feuchtwanger with the NY Coat of Arms (I think the figures look like space aliens!) and altered surfaces, and a Henry VI of England gold 1/4 Noble coin from 1422-61 that was holed and then pulled off the chain and NGC has designated "too fragile to holder" finishing the trio is my 1 cent 1837 Feuchtwanger that PCGS has graded XF45. I think these are really fascinating bits of history. Sorry about my picture quality on the Noble. I'm still working on closeups.

 

Here's something Odd...in fact its an Odd-001 an1880 Snow - 8....pick ax variety.

 

I paid $250.00 for mine. If I ever sold it I would ask $500+. NFS not for sale ever.

I've been enamored of late by a few early 19th century European commemorative medals and tokens. The hand carved dies look is simply amazing.
