beem Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 10:05 pm Here is one I did not know existed... https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1535112 1791 Sierra Leone Dollar This is really interesting because of the denomination, the first US silver dollar was not minted until 1794. Anyone know the history of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

beem Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 8:11 pm Years ago I began picking up the below coin whenever I could find them cheap, which was usually a few bucks or so over the value of the silver. In my view, it was a gorgeous coin, one-year type, proof, silver, (at the time) nearly 40 years old, and at then-current prices, very undervalued. Today it sells for 2-3 times its silver value. (These are not my videos, just ones I found on youtube) TAbQX65YzfM 1972 Ethiopia 5 Dollars https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1243460 What lead me to finding the Sierra Leone Dollar above was searching for a gold version of my next little bet, the below coin, which I began stock-piling for the very same reason. While less historically significant, it is also a one-year type with a much lower mintage. It's 40+ years old, silver, proof, and has a very eye-appealing design, a lion guarding a treasure. Ironic, sure, as central banks destroy money instead of protecting it, but the lion has always been a symbol of strength, power, and courage, and people just like lions. Just a warning to anyone wanting to go out and buy it, there are two versions of this coin, the proof is the sterling silver coin, and there is a CLAD uncirculated version I have zero interest in. Oh, and I mentioned, there is a gold version with a mintage of 100, which I have never been able to find. https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1521732 BHkxJOKKqyw Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 9:52 pm Included in my collection of World silver crowns listed in no particular order, (British grading): Great Britain Charles 11, 1662 fine * Egypt 1916 20 Piastres, VF Egypt AH 1293 20 Qirsh, good Fine German New Guinea 1894 5 Marks, very Fine Israel 500 Prutah, Unc. Bank of England Dollar 1804, Fine cleaned, Bank of Ireland 1804 6 Shillings token, fine cleaned, U.S.A Trade dollar 1877s Very Fine/ good very Fine Papua New Guinea 5 Kina, mint state, (777 struck), in a overall collection of about 65 coins. I tend to shy away from modern NCLT silver crowns, unless they can be had at only a very small premium above their melt value. I am not a silver stacker with these. I had a collection of over 100 copper nickel crowns with very many interesting designs. I gave these away to a kid, who had a growing interest in coin collecting. * I had a pair of these, I gave the other to another member of the CCF. Report this Post to the Staff
