Don't have photos of my 1915 or 2015 coins, so here's an 1615 - a "solidus" (at least, that's what it says) from Polish Riga:
Sorry for the awful (exceedingly large and blurry) photos. Did them about two years ago, didn't really consider redoing them later. Looks good to me.  |

After much debate back and forth I bought this coin earlier this year. My coin is locked up in the safe deposit box so I had to use a generic picture. The only other 1 oz. gold coins I own are the only two I have bought for the gold page on my type set so buying this coin was a BIG decision for me.   |

For some reason I had it in my head that no US gold coins can exceed a face value of $50 by law. Is that not true?

Thanks ChildofWheat. I tossed and turned the night before the release and still wasn't sure when I pulled up the mint web site a couple of minutes before the launch. But obviously I ended up following through and I was glad I did once I had the coin in my hand. It is much prettier in person I think. Interesting mint error you have there~!! Perhaps your asking price is a tad high tho.  Thanks for the clarification JBuck |

For my contribution, here's something a bit offbeat - a revolutionary issue from Chiconcuautla (Puebla) on behalf of the Francisco Madero Brigade.   Colligo ergo sum

That's a cool piece. It definitely looks like it was hastily produced.

That's a nice looking coin. I like the relative simplicity of the design.
