Message:: [QUOTE="swish513, post: 963293, member: 22068"]1st coin: [ATTACH]91616.vB[/ATTACH] i like this one because i got it when i was 14 (or 13, don't really remember). i found it in a dealer's junk bin for 75¢. the reverse was covered in dirt. when i got it home, i cleaned off the dirt on the reverse and revealed the "s" mintmark. at the time, it listed in redbook for like $32 and i thought i hit the jackpot. still have the coin in my collection. 2nd coin: [ATTACH]91617.vB[/ATTACH] it was minted between 1280-1281 a.d. i just love it for it's age. no, it's not my oldest coin. 3rd coin: [ATTACH]91618.vB[/ATTACH] it was minted between 1299-1301 a.d. there's just something about the gash on the bust that attracted me to this coin. not really sure what it is. my imagination runs wild with this coin as to where it has been.  thanks for the contest!![/QUOTE]
