Krusti - that is a nice looking coin. Maybe I have seen it before, but I am not remembering. Can you say something about it? |

Thank you.I have had it for a few years now-- 1795 $1 Two Leaves XF45 PCGS /CAC. I am not sure if you have seen it before, I have never posted before.

Fantastic pieces everyone! Keep them coming. My personal favorite is this: an Israeli 2002 Half New Shekel struck on a bi-metallic planchet intended for a Chile 500 Peso coin:  A normal Israeli coin looks like this:  I think this is the most unusual coin in my collection. It was made possible because Israeli coins that year were struck in the Santiago Mint in Chile. I don't ever recall seeing another example where a normally non bi-metallic coin was struck on a bi-metallic planchet. |

Hard to say, depending on the day, but my centerpiece coin as of today is my 1862 1C FS-301 Snow-2 PCGS MS63, attributed population of two (one AU58 and this one). I need to get this one TrueViewed;  Edited by oih82w8

@ ChildOfTheWheat
31-s is a nice low mintage date for the series. Would love to see a picture if have the chance.

NumisRob, the British were in a class of their own during that era of coinage. That's the first Gothic Crown I've ever seen in the wild, so to speak, and it's as beautiful slightly circulated as it is in Gem Proof. That is to say, the standard St Gaudens and Weinman strove to achieve half a century later.

My centerpiece would either be the 1909-S VDB I purchased to finish my Lincoln Cent set (though it is pending an update to BU...one day...hopefully), or the 1911 gold quarter eagle coin I bought as the first gold anything I have ever bought. The incuse design really speaks to me. I enjoy them equally, and for different reasons.   |

I don't really have one, but
probably my gold stater of Philip 11 of Macedon.
Even the lowest valued coins in my collection can be somewhat of a 'star' in their own right.
