Those are silver dollars, or are you letting your gold instead Yes, Cleveland still is a FRB, but even in my part of the country I do not see many District 4 notes.

Scottishmoney Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 FR-1258 10¢ issued from 1869-1875, one of my favourite fractionals and one that is hard to find in pristine shape, at a good price. The vignette is a young personification of Miss Liberty, from back when Liberty was idolized instead of dead corrupt politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Crown from Edinburgh mint, minted during the great recoinage of 1707-1708 whence all older Scottish denominated coinage was called in and melted and minted into British sterling. The Edinburgh mint was to have remained open, but in reality it was closed to minting coins in 1709, but still had staff on salary until 1815!

thedeadpoint Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Whats the story on this piece? I've never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 It was likely created by a master engraver, probably GMM, Edix2001 posted something about some archival materiel that he was selling on here. I also got some pewter medals that are very very similar to Macedonian style coinage. Amazing designs. But this piece was probably created for a pendant or something, it is in silver. I like it because of the wonderfully executed and enigmatic design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henare Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Regarding such a comment, I wonder if BB has to disclose whether he has a personal stake in gold? it is likely he doesn't know. govt officials at that high a level generally place their significant assets and holdings into a blind trust . . .

Scottishmoney Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lincoln C & C came in the post this morn, picked up at 0730 at the PO. It is fine, but donna like the wee bit greasiness of the capsules that I had to clean off, otherwise the coins are perfect. No, I am not flipping it. It is mine, all mine. Lincoln is one of the few presidents worthy of having his image on a coin in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
