The Year In Coins

For me. I have been medallic this year. And there appears to be only ONE US made item in this mix! image

(I guess i'm leaving out that which I purchased from the US mint. I just don't feel like taking pictures of it. Huh.)

I didn't really follow anything other than "what I wanted". Except for the mint purchases. I am apparently compelled to purchase those whether or not I want them. And I don't really consider them special enough to photograph. I need to think hard about that.

    Feel free to post your stuff. This should not be just my thread.

    (probably other thread like this, but I didn't look. I had lots of links to type)

    One of my end-of-year activities is to try and shift the cabinet display to two shelves.

    That'll allow me to make purchases in 2011.

    Great idea! It's all about the hunt. image

    Very nice collection and display.
  • I love the cathedral medals, I have them on my list to buy, but never seem to focus a search on them. I have wanted one for 2-3 years now after seeing yours!

    Very nice Adam. You've been busy this year.

    Ironically I like the first one the best.

    I also think the first one was the very best. I purchased it at a San Jose show. Walked the whole bourse first. This medal had about 3 times the class of anything else on the bourse. Seems to be in pretty good shape for a medal made in 1735.

    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

  • Those are some great medals!
