  Very cool, and I agree with ajaan's take on the best one. Medallic art is just so darn cool!

  You know you're a redneck coin collector when...
  ...all your coins portray women in halter tops.
  
  Nice pick-ups, JCM.

  I do love that copper myself, but there is something about a woman in armor.

  If they ever put Xena or a blonde in a camoflauge uniform on a coin I'm sunk.

  No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey.
  It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

  No, it's not a shooting medal and, no, she's not donning armour and, no, it ain't Swiss or Dutch but all the comments about Halter Tops and Xena put this lovely 1904 Argentine Public Waterworks medal in mind. I'm considering it but haven't the foggiest what it's worth.

  As some of you know I really do like copper and bronze my own self. Also although it's hard to see in those images the engraving on the 1892 is just superb
