    I bought another coin but I’m going to wait this time to post to make sure I actually get what I paid for.

    Maybe they are better now. I tried them years ago and they burned out faster than regular bulbs.

    Good to know... at least I'm down to just proper bulb selection and tweaking the white balance on my camera. Once everything gets here and gets set up anyway!

    Purchased around Christmas, a present to myself!

    Love the slant 5s. Nice pick up

    My first no motto $20 Liberty will without a doubt be my big acquisition for the year. Sort of a bullion with benefits proposition, IMO -- at this grade level I was able to get it at what feels like a pretty small premium over something totally generic, and it's associated with interesting history. I raised most of the $ for it by selling a pile of 90% on the BST. This has more personality for sure.

    Nice coin!
    I too started buying 20s with a modified play on purchasing bullion. I soon found that I enjoyed them so much that I switched to collecting them outright. I hope this year to venture into some New Orlean’s branch coins. Definitely will have to accumulate them very slowly!

    I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this NEWP, which arrived today. As you can tell - it's a BIG coin!

    It's a 1 1/2 Taler from 1655, weighing 43 grams and 55mm in diameter - a Morgan dollar weighs "only" 26.7 grams, and is about 38mm!

    The measurements you cite are what I typically see on camera lens filters, not coins! You could seriously hurt your thumb flipping a 55mm 43 gram coin, with a "heads or tails" decision...

    Thanks @Bikergeek - it's still a raw coin, and fun to examine and ponder in hand. Here's my newest acquisition:

    Splendid crown!
