please put your hands together for fast Eddie VII My #5 choice: A majestic specimen from the rapidly fading Age of Empires, a brief time period in human history when that tiny island nation of Great Britain, a mere squiggle on the global map, managed to dominate half the known world. This obverse of this large unworn 1903 dollar coin from the Straits Settlements shows the very handsome portrait in all its magnificent detail. The ornate reverse is very similar to the British Trade dollars of the same era.(size= 37mm)   Quote:
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.
@ GR58: All the major countries have coins that large, but you will vastly expand your possibilities and spare your budget as well, if you consider dropping down to 28-30mm. The farther back in time you go, the harder it is to find 'affordable' dollar or crown-size coins, or in many cases, even any at all of larger sizes. It's a hugely popular area of collecting. |

Very high grade and the key of the series. I will never manage to show any luster with this scanner...   |

A new day indeed. Here's Russian three rubles that commemorates the victory of Russia over the Teutonic Knights' invasion. Russian Prince Alexander Nevski's strategy was to do the battle over a lake (Chudskoe ozero) so, eventually, the ice under heavily armored knights broke and that was the end of it.   |
