Great looking coins! I agree that these coins look great in their NGC holders.Were they purchased directly from the Mexican Mint? Good luck with your future additions to this set.

Thanks!  Most of them were purchased online, I have a couple places I frequent, although they sell out really quickly if you're not paying attention.

Now I am tempted to buy one at the coin show this weekend

What show are you going to Mokie?  And if you pick one up, let us see it.

Hey Revenant, I'm glad you went to that show and found something you like, and thanks for the shout out!  That's a really nice buffalo nickel too.  

Congrats Revenant!  I too like to read your journals, they're always interesting.

You’re welcome.  If you go, let me know how it was

Revenant, I actually got it for $110, which is the lowest I’ve seen.  And if you’re anywhere near Houston....

thanks Lastufka, I need to own more of them too! Lol

Yep, that's how I feel Walkerfan.  This coin is in my collection to stay and will never be replaced or sold until it's time to sell everything.

Congrats Revenant!  A top pop is a top pop no matter what kind of coin.  I don't think I've read a journal about it, what got you into collecting the Zimbabwe coins and currency?

Thanks Revenant, I didn't realize it has been that long.

1000% agree with you rons.  The whole first strike label is especially scammy, because it is literally impossible to know what coins were struck first.  The mint strikes a certain amount, in this case 30,000, but releases them all at once.  How can you possibly know what coins were "first strikes"??  Somebody tell me if i'm wrong...

Thanks for the comment gherrmann44..it’s funny you should say that about your retirement portfolio.  That’s what I tell my wife too, that I’m not just buying for kicks and giggles, it’s part of our retirement.  It doesn’t always sway her, lol.  Fortunately I’m far from that day.  Here’s the PF 70..
