ScottO - 1917 10 centimes - group 6
http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=965230
in my view one of the most of the best designs of the 20th century, while its the first year of this design (1917) its in a very nice grade with lustre
ScottO 1901 halfpenny group 6
http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=967122
while not a flattering portrait or a rare coin, its in a great grade and is the end of a era of british history, the end of the victorian age.

not a rare coin by any means but still a great piece of early silver, and has the added bonus of some double striking on the obverse
not sure if this goes here in exonumia but anyway i can just move it to there if needbe
ScottO - Jean sireday dijon jetton 1655 - group 3
http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=975762
made in dijon in 1655, this jetton is quite scarce rated R on cgb.fr's site and is part of a few issues around the time of the mayors of dijon all of which are rated R. and a great looking coin for the period
not amused by what i have to face here but i have a few tricks up my sleeve
anyway

NICE DOUBLE STRIKING TO BOOT

and a few days later ANOTHER high grade 1987 coin
and this AS WELL full lustre 2004.
have some i got the other week, still more then this to come
very worn dye it seems.. interesting looking coin as a result though
looks like a lightyl struck piece
