Art1.2 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well you've already had another view of Hussulo's beautiful gold piece that was the PCI2011 overall champ. Here's a rather nice coin that was the PCI2011 Silver category winner. It has great character. Maybe we'll see it again in PCI2013.

ccg Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 A great example of how beauty doesn't have to be mint state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 A few years ago, I tried to do a thread comprising of all the commemoratives starting from the first. I didn't get far for a variety of reasons, mostly lack of tenacity. I'd love to think this coin would be one of many great coins in that thread.

Why not give that thread a kickstart - maybe with a beauty that you'll enter in PCI2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 It's the patina that makes this coin such a winner. There are plenty of mint state coins, but few have aged with the grace of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
