Ok... I think I'm ready to venture into the Darkside!

So, I'm looking for a little help...

I'm interested in coins with Dragon Designs (Preferrably Silver and copper coins) and am looking for some help on some Countries, Years, and Denominations to look for... I greatly appreciate your help, Great Darksiders!!

Try the 1951 Festival of Britain crown with the Pistrucci reverse. It's Cu-Ni, big and inexpensive ($10-30).

(BTW, This coin already sold)

JrG, get yourself a copy of Krause and start leafing through it. You can look around at all sorts of designs and start to get an idea of what might interest you. Plus, I am sure people here will be willing to share an image or two, right folks?

The 1911 dollar is both gorgeous and affordable. It must be affordable if I have one.

Here is a gold Sovereign with the Saint George and the Dragon design:

Here is a Crown with a modern version of the same design:

I dig the 1935 dragon!

Welcome to the darkside. There are dragons on all sorts of coins. If you don't want to buy a Krause go to your local library and check one out. You will be pleasantly surprised and the choices you will find. Good Luck!
