An ode to the CRO archives

The CRO archives are a menagerie of museum quality coins ranging from finest known Colonials to Polish technicolor toners. Admittedly, I have a love of the archives and if assembled as a collection would have no form or organizing principle other than eye appeal, quality, or being downright cool.



Post the coins you own which are featured in the CRO Archive.

    I love to go back and flip thru all of the old CRO's ads and read the backstory inspiring the title. Unfortunately, I don't own any ex-CRO coins......yet.

    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    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......

    I love CRO - they get on a constant basis some of the most desirable coins with the best look!
    Thanks John and here is a sample that I acquired from CRO over the years and they are still in my custodianship. I got others but these are from their archives:
