    Cool. I know what a pattern is, but what is a "Perttern"?

    These are great looking examples. The Guatemala people love their birds and they are prominent on both their coins and currency.

    The Honduras coins have that proud, warrior look.

    Both places are nice to visit, but you may not want to live there.

    Marty, great results and please enter my name in your generous giveaway.image

    But it's the rubber chicken that finds all the good coins!!!

    Nice!

    I have always loved the quetzals on Guatemalan coinage (and the condors on Chile's).

    Cool coins! Why is it that so many countries make really nice patterns but always end up making the most boring coin types circulate? image

    Very nice!! Wow. You sure made good use of those multi-coin holders. I've been tempted to do that myself but I worry about if I have to sell in the future. With what I collect I think I'd have a hardtime selling 3 $500 coins in a single multi-coin set for the full $1500 value. What has been your experience with selling in this format, if you ever have?image
    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.

    I like the multi-holders! I can't wait for them to start doing Maundy sets! The only one I have sold had a 1981-S Proof Type 2 Proof Set and it sold just fine!

    Ya know... The multiholder would be way cool for my Romanian 1867 1B, 2B, 5B, 10B proofs.... but only 2 are full RD, the other 2 are RB. Do I try and hold out to find RDs of the others? I don't want to crack out or cross my PCGS SPs... working on a set of those too.

    Aesthetics aside, if you had a 63RD and a 65RB of the same coin, which would you put in the set? *sigh*

    Multiholdering makes it tougher to upgrade individual pieces; you pretty much have to wait until you consider the set "done"...image

    If the coin come in a set, seems only right to stick them in a multi-holder. I don't think I would find a single one of these to replace one with anyway. Newest multi-holder is the 65 Gardners Islands coins in the 3 different metals!!
