    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.

    2D is a closet Darksider? image I don't s'pose you bought that Sower for the pretty Arizona-like sunset toning?

    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)

  • Yes MacCrimmon the Swiss 5 F is a specimen, glad you liked it.

    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.
  • Nice stuff folks!!

    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:
