Mpc,
Each of your gold coins have been unique and never seen by myself. I'm looking forward to see what else you may have for us to see.

This is my #8, a 1909 peso from the Philippines while under U.S. domination; San Francisco minted; size= 35mm. (I was going to show my 1903 version, first year for these, but it seems to have gone into hiding..  )   And for #7, another gem from s.o.t.b.*; uncirculated peso, Zacatecas mint, typically weakly struck in places. size= 40mm. *(south of the border, i.e. Mexico.  ..yes I do love coins from our troubled neighbor.)   |

1917 Ottawa Sovereign:   These have all been only "average" pics by my own personal standards. The same will not be true of the six which follow.  |

Geeeshh ... man, I'm feelin' a bit the opposite way => I may have already peaked too early! (I got nuthin' but rusty ol' traders remaining in my queue!)  => but they've got grit and they've got heart! Hey, maybe I'll "dip em" and try to get 'em all dressed-up for the big show? => hey, hey, hey => I'm just kidding (don't respond negatively => I am not a dipper!) This is fun Man, I can't wait for more coins! ... and especially if they are supposed to be getting even better! |

It's probably time to give my little disclosure: I don't number my entries, I cannot choose #1 coin, I cannot pick top twelve. It's almost like choosing favorites of your children. I might be OK narrowing down to top 1000. I could post here a beautiful coin (in my opinion at least) every day for the rest of 2012. With the 12 choices I'm trying to get a somewhat fair (regional) representation. Today I couldn't decide between Ho Ho Brothers and Chinese Unicorn (that's what the animal is in case you're interested in IDing it), so I put them out both as a set (so, disqualify me  ). These are circulation coins of newly Chinified Hong Kong. So, Chinese (as opposed to British) Hong Kong, 1 dollar   And 2 dollars   |
