My "darkside" selection is very limited but after seeing all the artistic designs shown so far here's the best one I have 1927 Australian florin commemorating the opening of the Federal Parliament House in Canberra   |

I like seeing all the different foreign coins.
I wish I knew more about them, I am thinking
some of them might be coins with good value.
This thread is making me want to buy more foreign
silver coins. I am thinking maybe dollar size coin
from as many different countries I can find.
I wonder if most countries have a 38mm silver coin.

When I was putting my list for this thread, it was hard for me to choose which coins I liked best. One thing I knew, is when I look at a album of coins, I always look at the low mintage/key coins first. So I used that thought to put my list together. #5 1997 P matte proof NGC SP 69 Jefferson nickelmintage 25,000 Numismedia SP 69 list value at $218.75 The mint issued this coin only in the 1997 Botanic garden set.    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1997 Matte Proof Jefferson NGC SP69 25,000 #15 6. 1921 D Walking Lib 208,000 7. 1932 S Washington 408,000 8. 1972 DDO Lincoln 75,000 approx. #10 9. 1928 Peace 360,649 10. 1994 Matte proof Jefferson SP69 167,703 #44 11. 1918 Illinois 100,058 12. 2000 Leif Ericson 28,150 Edited by GR58

Although I did not dig this coin, I bought it for $20 from a gentleman that found it with a metal detector near the famed ghost town of Bodie, California many years ago. This ghost town is one of the famous of all ghost towns and has a very colorful history of prostitution, saloon shootouts, and mayhem everywhere.   swcoin.ecrater.com

In my experience you don't dig up a large dollar coin very often .. even better with the ghost town connection |
