<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 26646724, member: 87179&quot;]NCLT&#039;s (Non Circulating Legal Tender) coins are a little controversial in our hobby. Some people hate them all. Other people love them. Many don&#039;t even look like coins anymore. Anyway, I have picked up my share of them. Ones that really speak to me for some reason or have a historical significance that can&#039;t be ignored. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these coins are minted under the authority of countries that I never would have heard of without their coins. The mints that produce these are using modern and often incredible minting techniques. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will post a few of mine with a brief description of why I &quot;had&#039; to have it. I encourage others to do the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know there are a lot of NCLT&#039;s made every year that look like regular coins. I want to see the ones that push the envelope. There is something (color, super high relief, odd shape, etc.) that makes them special and different. </p><p><br /></p><p>No judgement encouraged or needed. If your only comment is &quot;I would never buy any of these&quot; please move on to a thread that covers what you like. We all collect for our own reasons. </p><p><br /></p><p>Niue 2023 5oz Blade Runner, 100th Anniversary of Warner Brothers. They made a series of these that are supposed to look like a framed movie poster. This was a movie that was very important to a young me. I was a huge fan of Star Wars and this was another movie with Harrison Ford in it. Incredibly futuristic and visually stunning.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699786[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Palau 2016 20 Dollars 5 oz w/Amber insert. I really like the intricate design. Like a lot of us, architecture on coins, I find this type appealing. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699787[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Barbados did a run of spherical coins based on the planets. I purchased the ones I found appealing. Mars is 2oz and the Earth is 3oz. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699788[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699789[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Canada 2016 domed 25 dollars, Library of Parliament. The architecture got me again. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699790[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699791[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The last one for now is another from Niue. A 5 coin set with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I thought and still do that it was a beautiful set. </p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1699794[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699795[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please post the ones you &quot;had&quot; to have when you saw it and I will post some more later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
