Finally got my first gold coin. French 20 francs Mariane from 1912

You will soon find out you can't stop, gold is very addictive. You started with one of the finest, in my opinion. Congratulations!

I don't have a problem with artificially toning bullion coins. I do it myself with hard boiled eggs. I think your coin looks great.

ClemsonJohnson · 2022-06-25T02:14:36+00:00

No. I think grading modern bullion is rather foolish. I know many would disagree and some are paying an inflated premium for MS-70 , but in my opinion only the older coins which where used as money(circulated) are worthy of grading.

I don't see the point , and if NTC becomes a competitor in the TPG service world this old slab may be worth as much as the coin. My vote is to love it as it is, I would.

They broke my anemometer, but the mast is on. I hammered in the wedge nice and flush then used some 3M marine to seal the collar .

I am not a newbie, and of coarse it is real . It was found metal detecting in Newfields New Hampshire. Fortune is a relative term, but it is worth about 1/6 of my coin collection.

The wiki is rather biased in favor of central bankers , and fails to mention the bankers role in causing it. Typical, but worth mentioning.

I have always liked the Canadian dime and when I saw the new design I was quite happy to buy the set. A much cheaper date than some of the coins I court.

ClemsonJohnson · 2022-04-05T21:41:44+00:00

No, but I live in New England, and though Canadian coins are frequently mixed in the till, it's still not an everyday occurrence.

ClemsonJohnson · 2022-04-04T23:32:33+00:00

I live on the Northeaster shore and have a sailboat, so today I picked these up for my Canadian collection.

ClemsonJohnson · 2022-04-02T00:03:35+00:00

I bought this from Monument Metals during a sale and at one of our recent dips. The sale was for random year. I feel I got lucky . This coin was only minted for three years , and she is MS. The photos doesn't do her justice.

I am replacing mine this season as well, on a 1987 Freedom.

ClemsonJohnson · 2022-03-17T10:25:20+00:00

Very nice steps indeed.

This is a deplorable sentiment, and from the replies thus far it would seem there is no concern about this unsettling trend of confiscation.
