Hussulo Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I have been playing about with my camera trying to get some better pictures of my coins. I thought I would share my world gold coin pictures with you. It is a side line in my collecting interest but steadily growing. Please feel free to post pictures of your gold coins it would be interesting to see others too! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 That is beautiful. Really nice colour, is it like that in the flesh? Quote
scottishmoney Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I don't really have a lot of gold coins, just a few older USA coins, mostly gold rush era. This is a type 1 gold dollar from 1851.One of the first coins issued by the San Francisco mint, which opened in the small office of a private minter that year. Quote
scottishmoney Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 San Francisco mint $20 from 1874. I like the Liberty $20's slightly more than the St. Gauden's $20. Quote
Hussulo Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Superb coins scottishmoney. I am going to have to buy myself a nice US gold coin one of these days. Also hot on my list are Italy and France.That is beautiful. Really nice colour, is it like that in the flesh? Quote
Hussulo Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 Are the Turkish pieces bracteates?No they are full brockages. I have got the 25 Kurus brokage pair and the 50 Kurus brokage pair.Similar reverse 25 Kurus coin dated 2000 PSGS MS64 can be seen in Mike Byers's sold coins museum:byersnc.com/museumI don't know how much his sold for though?

scottishmoney Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Sorry for the OT, but I keep thinking of Monty Python with "Bring out your dead" when I see this post. Quote
Hussulo Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Sorry for the OT, but I keep thinking of Monty Python with "Bring out your dead" when I see this post. I know what you mean! classic film.Incidentally did you know the origins of the two finger V f... you salute was supposed to have came from the battle of Agincourt?Charles VI had promised to cut off the both the index and the middle fingers of any English longbow men he captured so they couldn't use the longbow again. So during the battle they would give him the now famous two finger salute in a show of defiance! Edited July 10, 2007 by Hussulo Quote
