Another circulation find "way back when". I guess that's one advantage of being an auld pharte.  1932-D Washington quarter  |

jeffrose,
You don't find those in circulation any more. I like the cameo standing liberty too!

Number 3 This is my absolute favorite eye-appeal coin! => It has just the right amount of toning around its outter ring ... the color and hue of the toning seems perfect to me ... and it has just the right amount of knicks and dings to keep it honest!

My #3: 1918 silver tallero from Eritrea when it wan an Italian colony. This lovely 40mm coin with a relatively low mintage of 510k was intended to compete with the very popular, widely circulating Maria Theresa thaler. IMHO the tallero is a better looking coin but unfortunately it never gained wide appeal.   |

Mysilveryears,
The variety and beauty of your unique silver pieces have opened my eyes to coins minted outside the US.
