Let's start off 2014 with an awesome new thread. Just post your highest grade coin!  I'll post mine when I get a chance. Feel free to call me Will.

LOL OK, I'll play! Perhaps not what you were expecting, but I think it's pretty decent for a coin that's over 370 years old. Very little actual wear, though unfortunately slightly double struck through moving between hammer blows, which is how they were made in those days. And yes, I know it's not perfectly round. The planchets (blanks) were made by hand too and this one is more oval than round!  It's a shilling minted at the Tower of London during the reign of Charles I. The star mark shows it was made between 26 Jun 1640-15 Jul 1641. How would I grade it? Probably nEF, which is roughly a US AU55 I'd guess. Edited by Tom Goodheart

Minus my slabbed proofs, this one is probably my highest grade coin. MS 67 with FT and CAMEO to boot.   |

I have a few PF-69 DCAM modern coins. They aren't really in my collection, just something I have acquired. The highest TPG'd coin in my collection is an 1881-S Morgan dollar.     Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

Here's mine, an aureus of Antoninus Pius, in full mint state (which is saying something for a coin that is 1,800 years old!)  |

That Antoninus Pius is a stunning coin for being 1800 years old! My best two I have since sold and have posted them here before but I'll put them up anyways, even if I don't currently own them any longer.  Still neither of mine are as nice as SmallEagle's coin.   Wish I could have afforded to keep them both, but bills come first.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
