The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
I have purchased many mundane/lower value coins over the past few months but I'll post a couple of the nicer ones:
I actually had some difficulty fitting such a high grade coin as this into my Whitman Bookshelf album for SLQs.

Wow - love the variety here! @GAC - what's up with that medal? And how big is it?
Haven't had too many purchases this year, but this is on the way. 1711/2 Taler NGC 63
Its 77 MM so its a big one! This medal commemorates the Battle of Leipzig, which took place from October 16-19, 1813. This was a decisive battle during the Napoleonic Wars, known as the Battle of Nations, where the coalition of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden defeated Napoleon's forces. The surrounding figures on the medal are key leaders from these allied nations. This particular conflict was notable for being one of the largest and bloodiest battles in European history, with over 500,000 soldiers involved and around 90,000 casualties.
Also love yours as well, super nice color and great strike.
I mentioned I bought four new IHC’s @ the Tampa show today. I posted 3 of them on the toned copper thread. The fourth one is here:
MS 64BN CAC. It’s the S-8 variety & pretty rare. Not in Red Book. On the rev the upper right point of the shield is connected to the denticles by a die line. The left side is well away.
On the bottom rev, the ribbon ends & arrows are heavily polished, so they seem shorter. There’s a die chip beneath the bottom arrow point.
On the obv, all the letters show extra outlines. Cool coin!
just picked up the 1927-s to finish my peace dollar set. this is my 3rd peace dollar set but the only one that I completed. the other 2 I did not have the funds for the 1934-s but things have changed and now it was not a problem. pictures are not the best as I used my phone
The variety 1 (like this one) is more available than the variety 2. Determination is made by the positioning of the last tail feather. 1 points between the I & C; 2 is between the C & A. Really nice eye appeal for this example + it’s nice for the 64RB grade. PDS rating is (15: 5,5,5) - as good as it gets.

I am going to add this page to my classic (lowball) early Commemorative set.
I think it'll fit in with the other coins quite well.
(It should be arriving tomorrow.)
1983-P Kennedy MS67, the 2024-S Morgan and Peace Dollars. I only needed the ribbon for the SAR LEO CM replaced, had to buy the whole set. Kind of like buying the album for one song back in the day.

I love these Canada proof like coins.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Another soapbox solo pop coin.
A better looking coin in hand than my cell phone picture.
