    Here is a coin I have wanted for a while, a coin of Mary, Queen of Scots.

    These tend to go for a bit of money, but the crust seemed to keep others away, which was in my favor.

    Crossed one off my most-wanted list today! Got it in a group with a 10 and 20 korun for about double face value.

    Nice score! I brought back a few of those from a visit to Prague last year. It's really a lovely coin (glad that some countries are still making them that way).

    I have one of those also, and it is certainly one of the prettiest coins I have!

    I have been wanting some of those C. Brooke coins for a long time. I just read some about his life on wikipedia, quite interesting.

    Went to the local coin show today. Very happy :) got some "maundy" coinage. Spanish reales and even one from the pretender to the throne. And then a couple of German 3 marks for melt.

    I got this two days ago. It has a skuff at Geo's forehead. The camera makes it look worse than it does in hand. The colors are hard to capture. Been in a vinyl flip for a while.

    Thanks, Do you think the toning is detracting to appeal or value?
