The new 2022-W Uncirculated ASE: (don't mind the dog hairs on the capsules - they wanted to have their personal touch to the display too.)

Beautiful coin - have yet to see one in person though. I canceled my subscription when they suddenly doubled the price a couple years ago.

That reminds me that I need to pick up a couple of 2022 ASE's! Here's some coin show finds from today (bargain box hunting) Italy - 1866 T 10 Centesimi, lovely woodgrain toning   Italy - 1914 R 20 Centesimi, not rare or valuable but one of my favorite designs   Italy - 1928 R 5 Lire, late stage (re)toning with some iridescence towards the edges. Another design favorite.   Germany - 1906 A 1 Mark, another (re)toned coin with some iridescence hiding out

A couple of nicer bargain box pickups Ireland - 1955 Scilling - fully Unc with great luster and golden toning Not bad for a "pick a world coin" box   Canada - 1963 50 Cents - The luster is so strong that it's difficult to photograph. Reverse side is almost PL, obverse has a bit of haze to it. Some light edge toning starting up near the rims. (This dealer also had an unattributed 1859 W9/DP9 in the same box with some dirt common N9's, but Victoria looked like she lost a knife fight and the price was not reasonable at all so I passed on it)

Yeah, I surely understand this. I really enjoyed this series and even have the keys outside the '95-W. But after that price raise I was thinking if I sold what I have, I could get some nice classic coins which I also have liked for a long time and do not have. I am almost done with my Walker set, so after that is done it might be easier to part with the ASEs  @paralyse: One of my favorite designs has always been the Canadian Half dollars b/c of the REV. That's a beautiful example. The REV of your 1928 R 5 Lire also is also a very cool looking design.

Thanks Earle & Dearborn! I love looking through the bargain boxes/bins, world coins seem to be easier to find in those boxes than US coins.

(same goes for all my silver) Someday, I may just count up all my silver coins to see how many pounds I actually have - just out of curiosity. I do have the '95-W ASE - in fact, I have the entire 5-coin ASE/AGE set still in OGP. (which is my favorite set so far.) and the other 2 Key ASE's
