Ætheling Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 What i do like about those Trade Dollars is Britannia, I have a feeling G W De Salles must have been the one responsible for designing that one. A similar design is to be found on the Edward VII Florins. (One of my all time personal favourites) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 That is a really cool effect on that LOTR coin. The way that ring seems to come out at you is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I know! It was one of those coins that I fell in love with the first time I saw it and knew that I had to have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's so...... wrong!! The ring is the symbol of evil, I can't imagine anyone want to have it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeggy Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 OK, not sure this belongs with all these fantastic high grades, but... I saw several of these trade dollars over the weekend, and had to have one. It has a lot going for it to be considered for inclusion in this august group. Nice devices on the obverse. Great ornate symmetry. Has some rather unusual aspects also...It's a "dollar" denomination from Great Britain...as Chinese characters and Malay script on the reverse...minted in India. I like them! This type is really nice Are there many counterfeits of these trade dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycoin Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's so...... wrong!! The ring is the symbol of evil, I can't imagine anyone want to have it..... Im sorry sir but you are wrong. The ring... The One Ring... is a symbol of Power. Evils eternal quest for power makes the ring evil in any creatures hands. sorry... you struck a cord... My daughters name is Arwen... What can I say. -Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I don't think if this is the proper place to discuss this.... Considering the fact that you named your daugther after the Elven Princess Arwen, you're probably an even bigger "LOTR nut" than I am.... (having read the books countless times in three different languages/translations for the last 25 years, having seen all the different movies numerous times, etc. etc. etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 This type is really nice Are there many counterfeits of these trade dollars? Good question, but I have no idea - hopefully it is less of an issue than with the US trade dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggit Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 2003 New Zealand Silver Proof Dollar. The ring is plated in gold I don't mind if it is evil, I would like to have one. Its some peoples opinion as well that the little lady on the other side is a tad evil herself. Of course not my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
