@jbuck the only coin that I am particularly drawn to is the 1777 Carlos iii 2 escudo - mostly because of the date.

Not a bad choice.

If I could have one, it would probably be the 1975 Bahamas. Yeah, icky modern, but it would complete a nice little Bahamas type set.

I went to a great coin shop in bologna, Italy today... The information is below.

Decent selection of American gold (1/4 ounces around 3-4% over melt; some half ounce AGEs and some common date pre-33) and I bought out his constitutional silver at a few dollars back.

The other coin shops in bologna (except ranieri numismatics which I did not have a chance to visit - there was a line!) were more typical for Italian coin shops (ie €100 for a worn Franklin half; €18 for a 64 Kennedy half); although surprisingly, one of these shops must have priced their coins at double melt 20+ years ago so I was able to buy a few 64 Kennedy halves for under €10, but this is only because they were likely sitting in the flips since 2005.

Anyway, here's the only shop I would recommend visiting in bologna Italy. (You'll need some basic Italian and be prepared to negotiate a bit).
