    CoinAddict, I love those wide rims on that 20 c. piece....nice artistic design. It also looks like the same sculptor could have executed both 'maiden' designs.

    Bill, that Druid should be your new icon as Ruler of Britannia.

    Well i don't usually post a picture of a coin before i've got it (and even then even not usually this far ahead)... but hopefully if all goes as i'm expecting it to [although i can't be 100% certain, i am hoping hard and holding my breath, am i going blue yet?]

    But in two months this should be mine... (crosses fingers and toes)

    Terrific specimen.

    And a very difficult series Don, especially the pre1930s in decent grades.

    I like that! SLQ's are one of my favourite US coin designs... rating at number 6 in my top 10 US coin faves. The silver Washington quarter being in 2nd place.

    That 1917-D Type 2 was in a PCGS MS64 FH holder, and I sold it for somewhere between $1,200 and $1,400, as I recall. One of my biggest sales ever. It was a lovely coin but actually my least favorite of the three in my old collection (even if it was the most valuable of the three). I also had a blazing white PCGS MS64 FH 1917 Type 1 with the sharpest strike I've ever seen on one, and a 1930 in an old PCGS MS65 FH holder.

    They are indeed lovely coins, as are so many others from the same undisputable Golden Age of US coin design.

    << <i>They are indeed lovely coins, as are so many others from the same undisputable Golden Age of US coin design. >>




    I like practically all the designs from that age with three exceptions... the $2.5/$5 Indians, the Buff nickel and the Lincoln cent. Those 3 designs never really did it for me, the buff is the best of those three.

    But the $10 Indian! ou la la...
  • lordmarcovanlordmarcovan Posts: 43,648 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Funny, I always liked the incuse $2.50 and $5.00 Indians better than the tens. But I love the eagle on the reverse of the $10 Indian. Heck, they're all nice.

    Picked this up last week. Previously unknown with this date.
    Made in the 1880's by a mystery jeweler probably in San Francisco. They made 1881 to 1885 dated gold tokens with obverses bearing a Heron(pictured below), a bird & butterfly, an Indian head, a Sailboat & Lighthouse, a Shooting star & man in the moon, and a Chinaman head. All are rare, and most are holed.

    Here's a medal I acquired this week. It's a pre-WWI (I believe) 20th century medal of Buchorn, Germany. I liked the stylized eagle, but more especially the contemporary "commercial scene."

    I also added this one from the 1964 ANA Convention in Cleveland:
