<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3743016, member: 96864&quot;]Like many of you I can&#039;t choose an ultimate unchanging favorite as that depends on the mood of the day and the sub-collections being worked on at the moment, but here&#039;s the favorite coin obtained within the past week.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1003884[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Big heavy 1,297 gram (rather larger than normal for them) 19th century copper &quot;Katanga cross&quot; ingot coin from the Congo. It&#039;s quite young but <i>feels </i>ancient and looks right at home among my copper and bronze age artifacts. I&#039;ve wanted one since I saw one in a children&#039;s history of coin and money picture book when I was a little kid, and now 25 years later was lucky enough to stumble upon a cheap poorly listed collection with 3 katanga crosses plus a variety of other interesting African artifacts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
