Hot dog, Boiler! Where is your museum, so I can come and visit it?

Here is another one that is one of my most rare coins, this coin was my father's favorite and I can see why. 1850 Coronet Eagle Gold, Graded as MS 62, only one better registered through PCGS and/or NGC.

 

This is the premier coin of our collection.

Matches? Trying a little "in-slab" tone experiment?

[Elbesaar]

Some really wonderful rarities on here gentleman. I don't own any rare coins or anything else rare as a matter of fact.

Edited to add: This is not only from the Jules Reiver collection it is also from the TomB collection.

Unless you count "condition rarity," or errors, I don't have any rare U.S. coins, but if I'm allowed to include trade tokens, my main collecting focus, I have several R10's (1-3 known) and quite a few R6 - R9.

I'll try to take some pics tonight, but with my skills, they may turn out like dark, round blobs.

[Just Bob]

As promised, here are some pics. Actually,most of my attempts turned out to be bright blobs.

 

The Dulweber 25c is an R10 (1-4)

 

The Browns Farm 50c is an R8 (10-24)

 

I tried several more, but the pics were too bright to see the details.

[ant]

soon it will be the proof im buying from dwaino. but for now its my 1928 p peace dollar

[charon]

Rarest? Great Britain 1958 1/2d VIP Proof. Mintage unknown. Estimated mintage 8-30. If anyone has a more precise mintage please let me know. I contacted the British Mint a few years ago and they said they don't know the mintage either.

[Oldtrader3]

Many nice coins, guys. Rey, that 1850-O eagle is one terrific gold coin that I would be most proud to own! Even looking at it makes me smile.

 

Here is a not so good scan of an 1863, MS64 Trime struck by proof dies, althought the scan does not show the PL fields.

[rrantique]

Beautiful Trime OT3. <3 (thumbs u

[Oldtrader3]

Thank you. I will try soon to get better pics.

[stinkycheese1]

Not rare by any means, but probably not common either. Probably the rarest coin I own.

 

year 1908

mintage 577,845

 

[Just Bob]

Here is one more R8, which is also the subject of a different thread.

 

I tried a different lighting position this time.

[dleonard-3]

I don't currently own it, but I'm the one who found it at a coin show in Las Vegas several years ago (I bought it really cheap). Breen mistakenly listed this as an 1804 C3 variety, but it is now widely recognized as a very early die state C5 before the spiked chin damage occured. Breen listed this as R8 with "only two seen" at the time his Half Cent Encyclopedia was published, and this one has better detail than the one in his book. I think a couple others have turned up over the years, but it is still prohibitively rare.
