For me my favorite coin is probaly the morgan dollar or the 37 crown. I do not have a silver coin i do not like, i check before i buy
Not really a numis coin forum, more silverstacking. I get what your saying but. I would like to start collecting 1oz gold lunar but it's hard to afford. Morgans, Peace & Crowns. American Silver Eagles Panda's 2010 high releif kangeroo is really nice. Love the piedford size & concave surface. Proof lunar mouse bars monarch are hot cakes pamp of course oh! Silverstacker bars! so much I want!
Hello, I tend to think the 1937 crowns and Morgan Dollars fit the criterion as a stackable silver, imo these are just as much an easily tradable piece of silver than a one ounce kookaburra. Furthermore internationally recognisable and easily converted into fiat if so desired. Additionally can be obtained far closer to spot then perth mint product. I dont think a dogmatic puritan narrow approach to stacking is necessary.. we should embrass the various medians that the silver form can take and be happy we have variety. I like the 1. Old US Art Bars 2 Pure Silver Poured Bars 3 Barber half dollars (sorry not .999 just 90 fine.. shes fine enough for me!) 1for1
I like the kennedy halves, old canadian dollars (with th canoe), pure bars, my fave coin is my 25 dollar Cayman islands coin not cause its pretty, because its big
Favourite coins... any of my Lunar Series 1 Coins. Least favourite coins... any of the my Sea Life Series Coins.
you seen this? it's a bit odd looking, but very cool i think! http://cis-coins.com/upload/coins/belarus_BY0216/BY0216_by
Fave coins? The British half Crown of early last century...with the COA, its a nice design ...good one to have Also the American Silver Dollar(not actually silver) with Eisenhower(?) and the Eagle moon landing.Good memories when i visited USA as a young(ER!) lad...i got one at my first "swap meet" My daughter has since snapped my fave coin up...but CK sold me one for an overpriced $2 (lol) at the recent SS meet up....now the kid has the new one...i got mine back! Great coin but its huge...the Yanks must have hated that one when the novelty wore off ...clunking around in their pockets! 2 great coins them 2... IMHO GM
Wow.. nice half crown. Is that part of a proof set? If i owned that it would be one of my favourite coins too, do you own it? Id have to say the Brit Coins of the 1800's were better as Edward and George effirgys not featuring the crown and Victoria and William IIII being awesome but hey, The Ike/Eisenhower Dollars were silver from 71-76 i believe so yours may just be, these weren't issued in general circulation but are available at decent prices compared to spot. 1971-S 6,868,530 ("Blue Ike") 1972-S 2,193,056 ("Blue Ike") 1973-S 1,883,140 ("Blue Ike") 1974-S 1,900,156 ("Blue Ike") 1976-S 4,908,319 (3-coin Bicentennial set)
The real mine field is trying to get any chinese coins. The risk is high... even graded stuff is faked. I have a memento, an early yuan silver trade dollar (Fat Man),a strait settlements and a Britian trade dollar. ALL REAL... Of these i have purchased a Silver Panda (fake) and each of the above in fake, replica, reprouduction, copy, forgery,elimitation - everything but real. ALL the real coins i paid real money for in coin shops.. all the fakes i underpaid and should of known i was being ripped. Now days i dont buy chinese coins unless i can inspect them first (there are reputable coin shops online i am basically referring to buying from randoms on ebay with no real known background . This is the real shame, the only blessing is that not all coins are faked so heavily and it is seemingly isolated to chinese, japanese trade dollars, brit and straits settlements trade dollars, indo-china-french trade dollars and us trade dollars and morgan dollars - esp the CC and key dates. Thankfully Nz and Aus dont have these issues
How so? I would like to add a Morgan dollar to my silver collection (eventually) and there are a few on sale by U.S ebayers.
For me, I'm hugely into my gilded kookaburras, want to collect every one for a display box I'm working on. They get no love at all, but are stunning - picked up a 2008 ANDA special the other day - only a 3000 mintage too... Source: I'm also really mad on the Dreaming 1/10 sets at the moment, gorgeous images and each set is half an oz of gold. Again they're for my own personal collection, so I can afford the premium. I find paying the extra for them hard, but just repeating the mantra Coins for show, Bull for a pro... seems to help
Actually if you look at the index the Silver Coins forum is in the Numismatics section of Silver Stackers Numismatic discussions are welcome. My favourite "old" numismatic silver coins would be the 1937/38 Crowns, and the US Peace Dollars.
Who here inspects coins b4 they buy....some coin dealers think they can rip me off just cuz im only like a child and im stupid and blah blah blah.....
No i dont actually own that Half Crown in the pic,but i have one that is in good condition...my favourite coin Not to mention the 2009 Kooks....rippers.Id love a Grizzly but theyre too expensive for mine GM
