This was done over on the Lightside forum and had pretty cool results. Post photos of 1 of your Darkside coins that will never leave your collection

Here is mine:

Aethelred · May 23, 2005 10:27AM

I don't see myself selling this Guinea any time soon, but you can never say "never."

wybrit · May 23, 2005 10:30AM

I'll never say never either. For the right price, any coin I own is for sale, including this one (at £100,000

).

It was purchased on this very website, back when PCGS had world coin auctions (a longgg time before I would go look at a message board)!!!!

MacCrimmon · May 23, 2005 11:00AM

I could lose all else (well nearly), and rebuild, but this crown is the chief cornerstone.

I'll entertain offers above £2,500,000......seriously, I'll let it go for that....deposited in a Swiss bank account.....

LM, I'll remove this from my sigline, since it's a distraction.

laurentyvan · May 23, 2005 11:01AM

You know, although I've never sold any of my coins I can't say that I wouldn't. However there is this late 19th century french medal that I know I will never part with...

My all time favorite (a modern classic UK 5 Pound gold):

bosox · May 23, 2005 1:43PM

PCGS MS-65RB Pop 1/0

satootoko · May 23, 2005 2:25PM

Not very likely that I would ever let go of either of the coins in my sig.

theboz11 · May 23, 2005 5:36PM

At my age and having no children, all my coins are for sale, eventually

MSD61 · May 23, 2005 11:32PM

SYRACUSIAN · May 23, 2005 11:47PM

Hyperizer what a coin!

This one is a big favourite

oldshep · May 23, 2005 11:54PM

For some reason, I really like this one:

Simple yet beautiful.

laurentyvan · May 24, 2005 12:15AM

OK, here's a swiss coin I would have a hard time selling

Cacheman, luv your Gymnastik

elverno · May 24, 2005 2:21AM

I don't know why, but this one is my favorite coin:

Fairlaneman · May 24, 2005 3:02AM

From a forum member and technically probably the highest grade World Coin I own. Actually I have a rough time getting rid of any World Coins. Liteside I can sell in a heart beat. Even my Mercs.

Poland 1934 ten zlotych pattern with "Klamry" (locks) design, mintage one hundred, currently sitting in a PCGS Specimen 66 holder.

Sylvestius · May 24, 2005 3:37AM

I honestly can't say that any of my coins are safe from being sold any more... I change my mind more times than... something that changes it's mind alot.

Last month i would have said absolutely no to selling either of these two... (i'm selling them tomorrow), all i care about now is Anglo-Saxon pennies and Edward the Elder won't buy himself.

Which means that by tomorrow afternoon i will not have any sixpences left at all and i will have sold off all but four of my milled British coins, two of which i couldn't sell if i tried (and i have!) really battered Charles II half guinea (dateless) and a William III half crown, counterstamped and worn to heck, both currently relegated to pocket piece duties. And of course the two coppers, 1806 half penny and 1807 penny, both low grade, both sentimental value only. And i've come close to parting with them before.

At the moment i'd say my Athelstan penny was the safest, all my other coins live from day to day fear of being sold depending pretty much on the weather.

NJMark1 · May 24, 2005 8:13AM

No Real reason why Just think it's purty

Mark

Cladiator · May 24, 2005 8:25AM

wybrit what's the diameter of that penny?

WhiteTornado · May 24, 2005 10:07AM

I don't really have any high-dollar or super-sentimental Darkside stuff, yet.

AuldFartte · May 25, 2005 12:26AM

Y'all could probably guess this one ...

elverno · May 25, 2005 12:36AM

<< Y'all could probably guess this one ... >>

spoon · May 25, 2005 6:59AM

I haven't sold much other than doubles and special requests so all my stuff is considered keepers until necessity takes over, and I have too many favorites, but this would have to be among the top of them:

50th Anniversary of the Unified Kingdom of Italy, 10 centesimi. I really need to reimage (dealer's old pic).. this thing is a perfect BU with purple luster and bits of red shining through. The best I've ever seen of the type!

jonesy · May 25, 2005 7:17AM

For the right amount of money, everything goes!!

That is one nice coin.

kuhli · May 25, 2005 11:29AM

I have 2 that will never leave my collection, both were gifts from members here on this message board.

Got this from a wee-mouse for a cool little trivia competition he had a while back.

The other one, I have never gotten around to scanning. It's a Britannia that I won in a giveaway from Cosmic, a long time ago.

Does this mean you're willing to part with the Quadriga?

wybrit · May 25, 2005 11:39AM

both were gifts from members here on this message board.

I remember that contest. That was one of the more entertaining giveaways ever.

None of the giveaway coins I have gotten from this forum have left or will leave my collection unless they are given away for someone else to enjoy. You know what else, they are all really nice coins!!

farthing · May 25, 2005 11:48AM

Cosmic - Does that mean that your Conders are available???

spoon · May 25, 2005 11:52AM

<< Got this from a wee-mouse for a cool little trivia competition he had a while back. >>

Yep, I won some in that one too.. the Inaugurata contest

Those prizes are among my top keepers as well. In fact, while most of my top quality stuff has gone into airtites recently, those are still in the wrappings Mac sent them in

1jester · May 25, 2005 6:49PM

Mac's Inaugurata contest was cool, and the prizes were awesome. Mine's still in its original wrapping too.

Careful spoon, James loves selling these

, I'd hide it very carefully if I were you.

Here's one more: with its 182 mintage , a nobrainer keeper.

AuldFartte · May 25, 2005 11:37PM

Here's another one I'll never let go ... I won it from a giveaway here by Spinaker2000 and it is my current avatar. I just love this coin

cosmicdebris · May 26, 2005 12:14AM

This Quadriga?

Someone is smoking crack.

cosmicdebris · May 26, 2005 12:15AM

<< Cosmic - Does that mean that your Conders are available???

Topic only called for 1 item not all of them.

Darkhorse · May 26, 2005 12:17AM

<< Quadriga???????????????? >>

The Italian coin form the 1910's with the horsies on them. I'd better find one at Long Beach - for your sake!

cosmicdebris · May 26, 2005 2:45AM

Oh the one I would sell to you for $5,000. ( Hey you can afford it now

)

Numismatics · May 26, 2005 3:34AM

I don't think I have one so far.

lordmarcovan · May 26, 2005 10:46AM

Like all my dug babies, this'll never leave my collection until I croak. And even then, I hope my heirs will keep the detector find album intact.

Darkhorse · May 26, 2005 10:49AM
