Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2872 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 03:57 am An idea for a thread - gold coins (pre 1900) to discount modern bullion. My contribution will be very limited but here's one Prussia / German Empire Frederick III 1888 10 Mark Ob. FRIEDRICH DEUTSCHER KAISER KONIG V. PREUSSEN Rev. DEUTCHES REICH 1888 10 MARK Gold 0.900 3.9820g mintage: 876,000 Mint: Berlin Please post yours.

NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 1:21 pm Great idea for a thread! I only have a couple to contribute as well, but I imagine this is gonna be a shiny, drool worthy thread! Here's my 1882 $5 (MS-63 raw.. For now) I love this coin, 100 years before my birthday so I wanted a nice example of this one. Colors a bit off in the photos, booming luster in hand. And this one is a bit past the cutoff date, but it's not modern bullion, so I figured it had a place.. 1911 $5 AU-58 raw The colors horrible in the first pic, but its the only shot I have of it right now.. the color of the obverse is more like the reverse pic, that's actually pretty dead on.. Great luster too.. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2872 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 03:02 am Those are both neat coins. I think I prefer the 1911 $5 just for the boldness of the design.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2872 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 12:16 pm Very nice - there is something very cool about the Spanish coins (visions of pirates and the like). And I do like the early Islamic (ayyubid?) coin too.

Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 684 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 7:23 pm One of my favorites, nice orange peripheral toning, bird and quivers reverse. Best yet, the emperor's name is spelled wrong! Augstinus instead of Augustinus. I'll bet some heads rolled for this. Report this Post to the Staff
Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 684 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 7:43 pm Another fun coin. Mexico 1 real 1860/59 the assayer initials are (inverted A)L instead of VL. Those crazy Zacatecas mint workers! One of the more elusive coins of the series. Unfortunately it was brushed. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 9:32 pm A couple of my more unusual examples in this class, both bought last year in the midyear gold price dip: ZAR "Kruger pond", 1897, the Boer Republic equivalent to a British sovereign. Hungary 8 forint 1884, the Hungarian equivalent of the Latin Monetary Union 20 francs. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The date, if anyone's curious, is Year 119 in the Islamic calendar (AD 737).
