Quote: I decided to try the Gem Proof coins to see if they're any better than the Brilliant Uncirculated. Yes indeed, you will be impressed When you see pristine Gem Proofs of the Ike series. I have one or 2 of them myself.

Quote: I liked the design from this Australia $15 bullion coin, premium was little high back then but worth it in my case. Very nice!  Quote: I have one or 2 of them myself.

@macmercury, I like that KookaburraQuote: You should see the ones I delete. @GBL49, that reminds me of what I often tell folks in reference to my bird photos. Sometimes people tell me they try to take pics of birds, but they don't seem to look as nice as the pics I take. I tell them it's because I don't take just one or two pics; you're seeing the best one out of a usual minimum of 20 photos I actually took of the bird!

This arrived this afternoon from Great Britain, it was my only successful bid/purchase from the recent Baldwin's Deane collection auction. A Leeds, Richard Paley Halfpenny 1791, D&H-48 Spectacularly struck very off center, Extremely Fine with residual mint lustre. rare. This is an ex Col. FS Cokayne, he purchased it March 21, 1903 for only 6 pence!  Baldwin's acquired it in 1946 then sold it to Deane, where it stayed in his collection until now.

Mexico really put a lot of effort (and artwork) into their coins. Very nice additions.

That's an absolutely amazing example, westcoin, with a nice pedigree. Congrats!
Beautiful Mexican 20 pesos, macmercury, and issued in the year of my birth.
And more nice Franklins, GLB49!

That Mexican coin is stunning. My parents weren't alive yet in 1959, attesting to how young I am. LOL
