gxseries Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've been interested in numismatics, mints that have some bragging rights for instance world's largest gold coin, world's first platinum circulating coin, world's first bi-metal, tri-metal etc. Here's some of my thoughts: World's largest gold coin record trend: http://lunaticg.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/worlds-biggest-gold-coin.html World's first platinum coin was officially struck for circulation - Russia 1828 3 ruble World's first tantalum (bimetal + silver) coin - Kazakhstan 2006 500 tenge World's first antimony coin - China 1931 Kweichow 10 cash World's first palladium coin - Sierra Leone 1966, set of 3 coins World's first titanium coin - Gibraltar 1999 5 pounds And so on. List can also be the world's most expensive coin of it's catagory. Would like to see interesting records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 With the odd metal or aloy coins I'd only count the one's made for circulation not any that were for collectors only. The topic is good, don't forget about the smallest. I think I have a good contestant for the smallest amount of gold in a coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 If you have the 2013 edition of the Red Book by Whitman Publishing, turn to page 423 for the top 250 coin prices realized at auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
