an nice coin the black/grey effect is really amazing

There is still a tiny bit of lustre around the devices and in the field behind the head, which is amazing for a 205 year old coin!

yea i like the effect the grey under her eyes an under here ear etc. does i luv coins like that eg:- i got 1 also my fav but didnt take the pic its a 1950 1 dutch mark german (also 1 of my first coins i got from my mum ^_^) the same black/grey effect make the coin look so amazing ...umm makes it stand out from new unc coins .....i actually favour these coins then unc or proofs

I have several coins that cost me more than this one did originally, but this is still my favourite I have owned it since 1993. It had just come in a penny board into a coin shop that I was visiting on a Saturday morning. There was a nearly complete set of cents from 1793-1857 in the board, only the 1799 and a couple of others were missing. Most of the dates after 1820 were uncs. I knew I could not buy the whole board, but I had to have something and this was it.

This is one of my favourite coins:-

Probus Antoninuanus
Obv:– VIRTVS PRO-BI AVG, Radiate, helmeted, cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield, decorated with emperor riding past row of soldiers with shields
Rev:– ADVENTVS PROBI AVG, Emperor riding left, right hand raised, left holding sceptre; at foot, captive
Minted in Lugdunum (IIII) Emission 5 Officina 4. End A.D. 277 to Early A.D. 278
Ref:– Cohen 69. Bastien 256 (2 examples cited). RIC 64 Bust Type G.
Minted to commemorate the return of the Emperor through Lugdunum on his way to Rome after a successful campaign against the German tribes.
A crisp example with full silvering. The shield is decorated with the emperor on horseback riding past his troops with a raised hand.

Gpnyc, way to put my collection to shame, lol. Seriously what's the lowest grade coin in your collection, that large cent?! Haha, beautiful coins, and I certainly would have trouble picking a fav. if my coins all looked like that as well!

This is one I found in a bucket of coins that were $8.50 per pound.
Whether it is the damage to the poor thing, the age, the design, or whatever, it seems to be one of my favorites.

Mine is not a coin as such but a medal but it is my favourite
Obv

reverse of the above medal
Rev

wow blue thats a nice medal

ps:- u can keep bank notes also an medal , etc ^_^

1650 H demi-écu à la mèche longue, with a very young Louis XIV.

My dad committed a numismatic sin by having this Westfriesland 1591 (?) ducat made into a pendant for my mother.

He couldn't bear to have it soldered, though, so the hideously ugly setting encases the coin without being attached to it.

It's a bit squashed. I'm not certain it's real. But it's one of my favorites regardless.
