Oh! I wish I could make it!

Please take lots of pics. Would the "Collection of Type Coins" be yours?

USAROK

Yes, the USPI Type Collection is mine. The TLC Collection USPI Complete Type Set in the PCGS Registry. I will try to take some pictures and post them here.

Just because I was curious, I went looking for a picture of the Yemen coin listed above.

Here's what the Yemen Mohammed Mahmud Al-Zubairi Memorial silver coin looks like:



Yemen Arab Republic 2 Riyals 1969 Proof

Apparently there is a gold coin also with a higher denomination.

It is interesting that the coin date year is Western (AD), not Islamic (AH).

USAROK

The exhibitor of the Yemeni coins owns one of the gold coins so I expect it will be a part of his exhibit.

Congratulations and good show!

Many people don't realize how difficult it is to amass such a type collection as yours. It is most certainly an impressive collection.

Thank you. As I told some friends at the show, I don't believe I could reaccomplish building this collection today. There just aren't very many high grade USPI business strike coins being put up for sale or auction now.

I like that you included the Macarthur coins. Not technically PI under US juristiction, but a nice touch recognizing the U.S. Filipino bond.

BTW, where's your gold Wilson dollar?!?

Nice thread. Someone posted the Gold one as part of a set just a couple weeks ago, the title was something about, " Will anyone ever collect Yemen coins". The same set as displayed in the last Photo on the left side, white holder.

It's nice to see a YN win! Congrats!

Scouting exonumia can also very interesting. Here is one of my more memorable modern pieces. I have some classic pieces as well but no good images yet.

Very nice. And congrats! I like the showing of both the obverses and reverses. Now, you'll have to work in the mintmarks, if you haven't already. Can't really see them up close but the lustre shines.

You do realize that you can click on the coin to see the enlarged version where the mintmarks are clearly evident, don't you?
Look again.

Congratulations Mr. USAROK. That looks like a wonderful collection you've put together. It must have been fun!

If you don't already have a Filipina wife maybe think about finding one. That would make a wonderful wedding present, or perhaps an inheritance for a baby.

Best wishes,


Just Having Fun
