Purchased this for research purposes on the 1900 Lafayette Dollar:

How about a mint state 200 year old coin with wild toning?

Back to The Top.

 

 

 

1900 Paris Exposition U.S. Pavilion First Floor

 

This relates to the Lafayette Monument, a gift of the American School Children.

Cool Bobby, I think that the 2012 medal may be the last one. At least I haven't heard whether they will do a 2013.

"Cool" stuff all, thanks for sharing it!

I have lots of cool coins, but only one cool grandson....

 

[newprepper]

all the other grandsons are nerds? haha

[Catbert]

I've always loved this Conder token design and I wished I had a better example. It is a "cool" old copper piece of numismatic history! The pic is lightened a bit so that the words are legible:

Nice token! Got to be careful collecting those -- they could spiral out of control at any time.

[Crohnos01]

all the other grandsons are nerds? haha

 

...yeah the bar isn't set very high when you are the ONLY grandson....but he's cool because he already has a start on a coin collection....a 2012 birth set and 2012 silver proof set..... Courtesy of someone......not saying who, but you can probably guess.

[newprepper]

I can't set the bar high anyway, i have 3 daughters, 1 wife, 2 neices that we are guardians of, I would be happy with a 2nd bathroom

[Crohnos01]

...yeah I remember the days of having two daughters and a wife in a 1 bathroom home. We moved to a 2 bath home and then I added on a 3rd and built another in my shop...sometimes I still had to go use the shop bathroom!

[newprepper]

Getting ready to move to a new place, has a 2nd bathroom and woods, somehow I get the feeling I'll be using the woods on occasion. haha

[leeg]

Back in the day I had a four bedroom, two 1/2 bath, and three daughters. Wasn't enough bath's. .

 

Back on track:

A coin that never was. This is a Fantasy Edward VIII Crown. I believe the attribution is actually wrong (as it's too high relief to be a Nobel piece). I think it is likely a Restrike Prooflike X-M2B piece by Geoffrey Hearn, mintage of 1000 pieces, or possibly the X-M2A Proof (mintage 100).

 

I guess it's theoretically classified as exonumia, but numismatic nonetheless.

I thought these were pretty cool that my step-son bought me in Qatar.

 

[Stevenn55]

This I think is cool

Sure enough cool items so far!

Found these Ad's while doing research:

 

 

A 1906 Ad

 

 

A 1913 Ad

 

I know, I know. The Ad's above are not numismatically related. But what the hey? It's ok to venture out once in a while.

Picked this up on Saturday for 25 cents. Wonder what it'll grade
