You keep buying your pretty little dragon rounds buddy. The rest of us know what were doing.

I asked a simple yes or no question. Whether any coins from a certain country made it. You demanded that I present this coin that you have since deemed unsuitable for your superior intellect to even discuss. You trashed on the greatest city in the world in the processs, while pushing chinese silver bullion rounds as great and significant. Ask yourself, who really is the nutjob here?

Wow man you really got me. They didnt mint the coins well in your opinion. Really sharp come back buddy. Keep working that IQ towards triple digits take your vitamins.

You may be more familiar with Mott St as Chinatown NYC. The coin I posted has a mintage of 60. How many of your dragons were minted. I cant believe they put silver bullion in a book called the greatest 100 coins. What a waste of paper and ink.

60 mintage means 60 were made. Each person who wants a coin doesnt go and mint their own coin. Just a little FYI

It saved 20 kids from a salt mine. Very great coin

Well demand will be the debate against any coin I post. For which I would argue then we should just put the 1955 US double die on every set.
What is an example of a great coin on the list? Let me get an idea of what makes a coin great. I dont collect too many Uruguay coins. I dont think they are great. I would say there are less than 10 I would collect and my bias isnt tremendous towards them. But I can already see the dozens of coins with boring pictures of Queen Elizabeth's mug all over the list. To me this coin belongs on any modern beautiful coin based list. Greatest? Again, its not going to do your taxes or save a drowning cat from a pool so I dont know what makes a coin great.

 

Im sure there are 50 with various aged Queen of England mugshots though

As someone who collects all 3 US, World and Ancients, the combination of the 3 topics makes me lose all interest in posting here. I prefer 3 under utilized but seperate topic sub forums than 1 half dead mixed up mess of a forum. Might as well throw everything else in here too. I think most forums have to many subs, but to take the main 3 and make them into 1 is not going to pick up the overall traffic IMO

is that slabbed?

That blue flame crescent is very appealing to me.

That's not even a well struck business example.

Agreed on all points.  Common Morgans in MS 63 and even some in MS 64 are very affordable and easy to find.....I'd go the exact route mumu is recommending.  It's good to have raw coins in your collection as well as graded for many reasons.  My entire currently small Roman collection is all raw and it's been a ton of fun to really get up close with them, both with a loupe and with the naked eye.......it's allowed me to really get to know the coins and learn their diagnostics, which in turn has helped me learn to spot fakes. 

That's not even a well struck business example.

I got lucky on winning this piece. Super color too

Just arrived yesterday. Anacs MS63FSB
I think it might be a bit  under graded.

I got this one in the mail today.

It's hard to catch the right picture as what we see in hand, it looks more colorful in hand than my own pictures.

This fun one arrived today, an O-113a!
