Found an interesting coin this afternoon-1905h danish west indies.This internet photo will show what it looks like-I particularly like the reverse. XF+ for $31US with a mintage of 150,000. Some of you have probably seen this before but for those who haven't... coin

    That is indeed neat -- and not a bad price either! image

    Nice coin. A surprising number of these survive but they are generally in much
    lower grade. (F+ is much more typical). The silver issues are even more difficult
    to find.

    Of course the Danish West Indies are now known as the US Virgin Islands. If they
    get a states coin there could be a substantial spike in interest in the coins and there
    are hardly the kinds of numbers of these to satisfy this kind of demand.
