Post a MS67 or better coin

83 posts in this topic

The market seems to prefer blast white.

 

I don't know. I think some do and clearly (from all the toning discussions) others don't. I bought a toned Norfolk in MS66 (not rainbow, but golden coppery) at the same time I bought the blast white one. To me, they are both attractive in their own ways.

 

And that's how my collection is made up: some white, some rainbow toned and others with just attractive toning.

I don't know where to start, so I'll just say this thread has some fabulous looking coin porn.

 

Even though it's blast white, I just love the skin on your Mercury Joe. Tough finding FBs on 1940 era Mercs.

Thanks Bob. Agree about the coin. This will likely be one of the ones I send to you in early 2015 for better imaging!

For those of us less evolved and uniformed of world coins what is that coin and from where. My best guess is an Ancient Judaea...

Whatever I love it and would love to own an example but probably in a lower grade.

You are close ;)

 

It is a 1/4 Rial coin from Morocco. The 1329 date is the Hejira (Islamic) date. It was minted in 1911 AD. The coin is a little smaller than a half dollar.
