I'll start it off with a recent purchase. A double eagle from a very troubled year...1860.

Nice crusty 1834 half eagle.

Good stuff so far, everyone.

fc · July 29, 2009 12:28PM

i feel like i post the same stuff too often but i only own two serious
coins now days. but i have been looking around for a newp.. but
nothing catches my eye that is rare enough and in my price range...
so here goes a tough coin.

fc · July 29, 2009 12:39PM

should have kept that 69... tis a good rare coin. :-|
there is only a few dates in the half eagle series that no one has posted
here before and that was one of them!

Time for a $10 Indian.

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 12:46PM

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 12:55PM

It's a "count-the-defects" Chinese Pope coin!

kwmorgan · July 29, 2009 12:55PM

Nicely toned 1911, adam

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 12:58PM

More awful Chinese gold plated trash:

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 1:01PM

More recent stuff:

And...a quarter eagle that I call "spot"...

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 1:03PM

A weakly struck Peruvian 20 Sol gold coin. A one year type.

adamlaneus · July 29, 2009 1:04PM

kwmorgan · July 29, 2009 1:06PM

..and from my favorite mint.

Time for some "C" or "D" gold. Anyone?

BECOKA · July 29, 2009 2:01PM

fruitloops, you had me for a moment, I was thinking what are the chances he had 3 of the same variety until I realized they are all the same coin with different lighting.

1907 $20: The last year in the Liberty Head or Coronet Double Eagle series. This is a common date, but very tough to find in prooflike condition.
