I don't know what the 1868 4 D is, but I Like the way she looks!

What is it a 4 Pence?

 

 

OP

 

Yep, it's a 4 pence, Maundy issue. Mintage of 4,158 pieces.

 

How much did it set you back? Low mintage! Cool!

The World and Ancients board is a ghost town, and I thought a few here may enjoy seeing this Dark Side coin.

Stunning new pieces Zohar! Those three that are 80mm+ must just be massive in hand!

A new type set coin.

Picked this one up from jackson64 in the Money Marketplace here. It has a lot of "wow" factor in hand, and a very solid strike!

 

 

LOVE IT!!! That is EXACTLY what I will be looking for, once I FINALLY start buying some later dates, in the short set!! Do you mind, if I ask how much you picked it up for? Just curious.......I enjoy following price trends. Thx.

Jackson had several really nice Walkers listed. This one was $170 shipped.

wowzers nice newps!! BRG why was the farthing there? It has no horse or for another collection?

I've always been a fan of the young Victoria coinage. This one I just picked up because it's beautiful. I don't only collect coins with horses.

Today was a good mail day

Picked up this Fantasy Edward VIII Crown.

Two new pieces I picked up in the last week.

Both the "E" of Epluribus and the wing of the eagle are very prominently clashed. VERY cool coin!

Just for the fun of it, an animated overlay:

Mike, like I said I don't like to play "police" -- the new ones you posted are regular size.

Maybe this is motivation for me to get a nice 36" monitor or to hook my laptop up to my 46" LED TV.

I have to agree, I love those 1839 Coppers as well.

I have always wanted to inspect a high graded set

including the 39/6 and the 39 Petite Head. I'd be thrilled

to look at them some day - maybe have them on display

at your favorite dealer's table at some FUN show perhaps ?

 

I don't think I showed this one off - I bought it as an impulse purchase

as I normally only collect MS SLQ's... but I once had a few nice sets of

of AU 58's in my time.

 

Love the die clash at her knee !!

Mike, I hate playing the "police", but when you post images that big it makes the thread almost un-readable. Beautiful coin, but I could do without the extra 9" width of the plastic.

Nice new coin JoeF. Let me help you a bit:

Purchased this Italian coin from a dealer in the UK. The thing is so darned lustrous, it's hard to photograph!!! I really like the design, which commemorates the 2000th Anniversary of the Death of Virgil. San Marino also issued a coin (a 1000 Lire) in 1981 commemorating this, and it also has a horse on it The coin is basically as struck, with just a small dark spot near the horse's rear hoof on the reverse.

The information that came with the packaging of the coin states the following about the reverse design:

al centro un albero, simbolo della fertilità; ai lati le figure affrontate di un bue che rappresenta il lavoro nel campi e di un cavallo, simbolo della poesia epica; sulla sinistra del piano “19 A.C.”; sulla destra “1981”; nell’esergo “L. 500”; al di sotto “R”.

And, my translation:

A tree at center, a symbol of fertility. To the sides are represented two figures; An ox that represents working in the fields, and a horse, the symbol of epic poetry. To the left in the field is "19 B.C.", to the right "1981", and in exergue "L. 500" and "R" beneath.

A new So-Called-Dollar that arrived today.

Picked up this token/medal,and just got a chance to image it. It is #130 in my certified collection of horse-themed numismatic items.

Purchased a new type coin from board member BillJones. It's a beautiful coin, and a nice upgrade for my type set. The surfaces are an even chocolate color, and the luster is stunning in hand. Also, Bill is extremely easy to deal with and professional. (thumbs u

The streaks are on the slab...

We all just acquired 10 of these.

 

Here's why.

This article is 14 months old. How did we just acquire 10 of these?

Found an upgrade for my war nickel type set example.

Beautiful medal Kim!

I picked up these two Hungarian restrike pieces in a Heritage Auction about 10 days ago. The finally arrived today so I snapped a few pictures.

Nothing super special, but a pretty coin to look at and very fun to photograph.

That's a gorgeous medal and I love the pictures.

Thanks coindude. It's super high relief, so I had to do a 2 image focus-stack of the obverse and of the reverse so that I could keep all of the design in focus.

I'm still researching it online now. I'm pretty sure it's a Frank Hagel design (thus the "FH" you can see on the obverse at about 4-o'clock). He's an historical artist from Montana (b. 1933) who designed around 50 or so medals in the 1970s for Medallic Art Co. and is also well known for his paintings.

Just received this medal today. I can't find too much information on it, and it seems neither could NGC when they graded it. It does not bear a date, but I believe this silver version of the medal was struck at the same time (in 1976) as the copper version indexed on the American Numismatic Society website. Nonetheless, I liked the design.

The edge inscription is "Medallic Art Co. NY 0.999+ Pure Silver"
