It has been 2 1/2 years being here and has gone quite quickly. It has been a time well spent in learning more about coins. Alot more then figuring out on my own. While getting the title of " Master Collector " doesn`t suit me considering how little I know and how much is yet to learn, I geuss I got it anyway. So, with the " Master Collector " status, what is your " Master Coin ". This is my " Master " coin ( ie favorite ). I`ve had her for about 3 or 4 years now and will be a toughy to let go if I ever do.

Congrats on 5,000 posts! So hard to pick a favorite! I think at this moment in time, this 57 Washington in PCGS MS64 is my favorite. I bought it Raw from Baley and just love the colors!

Is there a coin produced after he was be-headed that just has a neck stump?

WANTED: Canadian coins with rotated die.
That is one HELL of a 20th Century Morgan. What mint is it?

The flatness of the hair over the ear makes it seem like a New Orleans strike.
Obverse - A repulsive monster with a human head, wings and a forked tail flying to the left carries a flag displaying a royal crown upon an ermine field with a Cap of Liberty on the staff. Three of her brrod suckle at her six breasts while a forth flies ahead carrying a sword in one hand and a lighted torch in the other. One of hte feeding young holds a label inscribed: FACTION
Legend - OUR FOOD IS SEDITION.
Reverse - A snake in long grass basks in the rays of the sun.
Legend- NOURISHED TO TORMENT with JULY 14. 1791 in two lines in the exergue.
Edge - Plain
Notes - Struck in copper and white metal. Both are scarce. Diesinker and manufacturer, Hancock of Birmingham. Purchased from Spink with a note ( Noble auction Lot 948 ). Tough to find in decent condition. This one, a Nice EF is better than most. July 14th 1791 refers to second anniversary of the storming of the Bastille in Paris.
