Coin collectors like old stuff so maybe show an interesting old item and the next person can post a coin from the same year or era. Maybe we can all see some interesting items and coins. No long winded rules here, just antique, coin antique, coin and so on. May or may not work. Let's see. I'll start with an Edgefield Pottery jug circa 1840-60. Now a coin from that era is up to all of you. Here we go.

    What if I want to collect modern coins? Am I not considered a coin collector?

    @jmlanzaf no. Posters can post newer cool stuff. Remember no rules.

    Nice piece of pottery. After having the opportunity to visit the Island of Crete and see their collection of found coins from the island at a museum there I was enticed to eventually acquire after my return home to the U.S. a piece of pottery here in the U.S. that had been made many years BC in Crete.

    Ok, not sure how this works exactly. Here's all I have from the 1850's era.

    So I also collect vintage watches. My oldest is this 1924 Ladies Bulova watch. For those familiar, it's not a Miss America. just the box I have for it.

    LOL. Actually, I consider 1840 to be modern coins.

    I love the Pierce Arrow, but I can't imagine winding that thing up to 70 or 80 mph, especially as bad as the roads were then.

    @Lakesammman just post a 1954 coin. I guess as this is the US coin forum it should be a US coin. That is a nice guitar.
