I need a picture of your favorite coin, token, or medal for a project (have all I need now, thanks)

I posted this on the Liteside but I DEFINITELY want Darkside representation here!

Edit- I meant "there". Sorry. Post 'em over THERE.

I'll save some of the ones that already got posted here, though. Thanks.

1990 Penny Black 150th Anniversary German Penny. Bi-metallic Gold/Silver

Aethelred · January 30, 2011 6:48AM

OK, I'll play along. I guess I don't really have a favorite coin, but here is a coin I like:

Judaea AE Prutha of Antonius Felix issued in AD 54

You know where my stuff is, right?

1887 Geneva Federal Shooting Festival Medal

STLNATS · January 30, 2011 8:21AM

I'm not sure that this is my favorite, but is one that keeps me coming back.

The key qualifier to your request appears to be eye appeal. Many of my favorite medals lack this qualifier, except maybe to myself. However, the one item in my collection which may fit your requirements is this one:

China, undated gold vault protector:

So this is the darkside!!!!!!! Yummy Yummy!!!!

farthing · January 30, 2011 12:06PM

Impossible to choose only one - but for today I'll go with this one:

Middlesex Political and Social Series DH #226 - a political campaign token for Admiral Gardner in the 1796 election for the House of Commons seat from Westminster against Charles Fox and Horne Tooke. Admiral Gardner finished second and took one of the two seats for Westminster, Charles Fox won the election and took the other seat. Charles Fox led the opposition in the House of Commons, facing off against Prime Minister William Pitt (the younger). Horne Tooke was a well known political reactionary.

Maybe one of these, Rob, if you don't have a USPI Peso yet.

lordmarcovan · January 30, 2011 7:31PM

theboz11- 'fraid that won't work- there's only one side, and there is a little bit of glare at the top. Thanks, though.

Aethelred- would rather have the Aethelred II penny you took your forum name from, if you have decent bigger pix of it (I know you do).

Zohar- I'll save that one. Unless you've got a superduper thaler you'd like to share.

STLNATS- Papal stuff is already represented, but I'll save that if you want it to be the one. I'm unfamiliar with the type, though. Coin or medal?

harasha- if I use that, I'll have to crop the mount off it. What is it? German? Austrian? (Edit- aha-I just noticed the double-headed eagle hiding in all that ornate engraving, so I'm guessing the latter, eh?)

trozau- what's a "vault protector"?

Farthing- saved it. We'll probably lose some of the small lettering when it's reduced in size, though.

Filamcoins- I saw the PR peso you posted on the Liteside version of this thread. It is beautiful but the toning was a tad too thick, I believe. I have saved your 1906 peso instead.

If anybody else posts one, please post it over on the Liteside clone thread. I got so busy saving pix over there that I forgot somebody might post over here.

I think I'm close to having all I need now, though. Thanks, all. (Edit- I only need eight more)

Its a testone of Alexander VIII.

ajaan · January 30, 2011 10:26PM

Probably this one:

OchoReales · January 31, 2011 1:20AM

Hi Rob, I posted two Bolivian pieces on the US Forum. Let me know if either work.

Hussulo · January 31, 2011 5:21AM

So hard to choose my top coin out of about 3-4 of my favourite coins.

Currently I'd say this one:

1461-1475 Germany Mayence 1 Golden ANACS AU55

Probably because it's my latest purchase for my collection, and I'm looking forward to viewing it in hand.

harasha · January 31, 2011 9:24AM

1873 World Exhibition in Vienna.

Aethelred · January 31, 2011 1:15PM

"If anybody else posts one, please post it over on the Liteside clone thread."

You are sure making this a lot of work and you know most of us don't like to go over there!

syl · January 31, 2011 8:19PM

I'm not even sure what the "lightside" actually is, as I seldom post. Here's my favorite and I use it as an avatar on some sites.

canadacolornut · January 31, 2011 8:55PM

It changes almost by the day as a piece grabs me and I shift interest.

This one has been my favorite for the past 6 months or so

canadacolornut · January 31, 2011 8:56PM

Is the half penny for sale Don?

canadacolornut · January 31, 2011 11:04PM

I'm wondering if there is a more attractive or impressive profile in coinage than the French Marianne.....
