Please post a coin worth about $5,000

My father just traded in his old car for a 'new' used car. $5,000 total. An old Ford Taurus for another, newish Ford Taurus. He's very happy.

I just wrote a check for about $5,000 to my County. Property tax. I'm not quite as happy as my dad.


A plea for the few forum members who can do this:

Please post a coin worth about $5,000.
I don't have anything close, so I cannot participate. *sob*
If you cannot post the coin, a picture of the coin will do. Thanks!

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    At this point in time this is the only Mercury, Gemini, Apollo space flown gold coin that I know of. Oh, and one other little detail. This flight also saw the first American spacewalk (the 2nd in history).

    Sheeze, I could post a link to my image directory and if you added the value of all of the coins together I don't think you'd get $5,000. I guess I'll just continue to live vicariously through all of you. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    It's the Judd-1646, Goloid Metric dollar, in Copper. The obverse motif was designed by William Barber and is the same design as the 1877 Half-Union ($50). It's considered to be Low R6 in estimated survival (21-30 pieces). My coin is in a PCGS Proof-64 BN (CAC) holder.

    Hi Crazyhound,
    I am curious. Can you tell me a little your coin. I like early quarter eagles. The similarity and beauty of the design make me ask.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    That coin above is the most awesome coin I can remember seeing around here recently, right before saying the same thing about the following coin that came up later in this same thread:

    and before saying that this Peace posted by Ikeigwin is probably the most perfect Peace I've ever seen:

    And all the Barbers above, too...Wow! What fantastic posts!
