This is the most complete collection I will probably ever see in my lifetime, with outstanding-condition coins, including colonials and territorial coins. Truly amazing. I'll post pics when I get home (provided they are worth posting.. Taking pictures through glass cases is tough). Has anyone else seen that collection? Report this Post to the Staff

terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 05/18/2016 10:16 pm I have 1972 two dollar coin from the commonwealth of the Bahamas and a fantastically large silver 20 crown coin from 1976 Turks and Caicos Islands both with Queen Liz the 2nd on both coins. Does Bermuda have a large silver coin? The one I have from Turks & Caicos is huge and only cost 30 dollars in MS65. I know that the Irish Republic has some stunning coins with the harp. I went there about 15 years ago and came back with a pocket full of change. I think I gave a bunch of coins away as gifts. Now they have the Euro I am not sure about the coins. Mexico has some very large silver coins which makes sense since thousands of tons of silver were mined out of Mexico over the years. Report this Post to the Staff

One display features coins in use in mid 19th century. This display comprised of a small plexiglass box with the coins randomly placed. Here's a picture of that box (sorry - taken with an old iPhone - not the greatest). Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/27/2016 10:57 am From the size compared to the cent I'm thinking half dollar. I also believe star 1 piercing the curl makes it a half dollar. Notice the coin next to it underwhat looks like maybe a Two Cent Piece is also a small eagle half dollar Report this Post to the Staff
