Isle of Man cat coins...
Coin Junky...
Everyone likes cat coins!
The cat is adorable.
Gave me a bit of a shock when I scrolled down and saw a cat that has been gone from my life for about 25 years. My mother called him Sylvester. I called him (with great affection) Sylvester Fester the Shi ty Kitty. (Anything, but; my best buddy).

Cats on coins are always winners.
Cats and bugs - some very interesting and beautiful designs. Much better than kings, queens, and ex presidents. Where do you get started with these? Roaming the aisles at coin shows?
@Orlena I buy most of the coins on Ebay and coin shows in Vegas.

Thanks - I just picked up a few from eBay. Reasonably priced and interesting designs. Don’t think there’s a huge collectors market, but I like cats and the coins so who cares
Actually, the market for cat coins is pretty big. I am always looking for them (reasonably priced) for resale.

have often thought of starting a cat coin set - love what people've shared here
@ɹoʇɔǝlloɔ These are some amazing gold cat coins from Isle of Man, but they are very pricey for their small size.

yes - the isle of mans are def where I'd start, but the secondary market prices are what's keeping me from taking the plunge - nothing wrong w appreciating from afar 🙃
A token, but still charming.

Pobjoy Mint has lots of silver Isle of Man cat coins and may have gold if we get in there close to an issue date. I’ve been searching since this came up yesterday. Interesting coins
I know @spacehayduke has a superb Conder farthing with a cat! Hope he posts here.

Good memory brg!
That’s why they don’t bring more than they do.
That looks more like a Rat than a Cat to me!

I just saw it and I liked it.

Hey, ‘Yoda. I thought of you and Gucci when I pulled the trigger on this, my latest newp.
You could always go the proof silver route for Isle of Man cat coins.... prices are not to bad and you get a great quality cat coin.

thanks for the idea - I'll check em out - would love to get a full set to gift to my gf 😻
My most recent cat coin:
Looks like Max...

I thought you knew that the entire internet exists solely for cats and naked ladies. Everything else is just filler.🤣

Did you know that the Manx cat has no tail? Here is Ponny, I took the pictures when visiting Cregneash, Isle of Man:

That is weird. I like tails on cats. My 3 cats have long tails.

Tails help with balance.
