Please note that on the Robinson images below, the (somewhat incompetent) photographer did not accurately capture the color at the outer borders. The areas that appear to be purple, are for the most part, actually a continuation of the pretty, vibrant reddish-orange that is seen further away from the edges.

    Tease!...image

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    All nice coins, but I'll choose the Lafayette Dollar and 27-S Quarter as
    my favorites purely based on the fact that I really dig that particular look. image

    I think the 1927-S SLQ has the most eye appeal of all the coins, though the Lafayette dollar runs a close second. The contrast between the bright center and deep blue toned periphery on the obverse of the SLQ sold me!

    I probably like the Robinson or the Lafayette the best...not sure which. Why don't you just send them both to me since I can't decideimage
    Very nice coins...thanks for sharing.

    Mark,

    Now you have to teach me how to post mutiple pics. You should not have started this in motion, for now I want to be able to do it all.

    Tough call on a favorite but I'll go with the Lafayette. Why? cause its purdy.
  • CarlWohlforthCarlWohlforth Posts: 11,074 ✭
    I am honored and pleased to be the first to say I like that Albany! I also like the Lafayette very much.

    Why be a phantom? Your client can be public by posting on these forums yet still retain some privacy by using a screen name. And I can't think of a better screen name than Phantom!

    Ziggy29, if those were your coins and someone made the comment you just did (whether in jest or not), I doubt it would seem so "funny".

    I guess you missed this thread. So yes, had I also seen that thread, I would have thought it funny if they were my coins, because I'd know the reference was to a clueless question about some very nice coins.

    I like the 27-S quarter. Very nice!

    the 1927-s quarter is the best by far, imo. all the other coins are significantly lower in eye-appeal (though still quite nice). i do not like the 1917, & believe it is doctored. the commems are nice, not earth-shattering or anything, but nice, pleasing coins.

    GREAT collection!!!

    Mark,
    They are all nice coins: I gues I would also favor the Layfayette dollar and 1927 quarter also but I suspect the photography on many subdues the toning and depth.

    Seriously, though, another vote for the '27-S quarter here. These are some pretty nifty coins.
  • mgoodm3mgoodm3 Posts: 17,497 ✭✭✭

    I like the Lafayette.

    If I was forced to choose just one of these... I think I would choose the 1927-s SLQ. Great looking coin... it looks as if it is an above average unc example...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,086 ✭✭✭✭✭
    These are all outstanding coins and the owner should be proud... and Coinguy 1, you should feel pretty good about being chosen to share them here.
