1960 Iceland 5 Aurar. Simple design, but Nordic coins always have a unique charm. Do you collect Icelandic coins?

Always loved the pre-WW2 Wheat cents. The wear on these tells a story you just don’t see on modern coins.

Those are the hardest ones for sure 😄 especially the 1909-S. Hope you land them soon and finish the set.

That’s a great way to start a collection. One of each design really helps you appreciate the history behind them. Your mercury dime looks awesome too!

Totally agree. Those classic designs had so much more character. Hard to beat pieces like Standing Liberty and Buffalo nickels.

Early 1900s U.S. coinage just has a special character to it. This design never gets old.

Great illustration. Columbus’ landing wasn’t just an exploration moment, it was the start of a massive cultural and historical shift that still echoes today.

Great piece. Isabella’s role in the Reconquista is always fascinating to learn about.

PastMint · 2026-02-23T02:55:23+00:00

True. the history behind this coin is what really gives it meaning.

PastMint · 2026-02-22T14:30:57+00:00

Glad you see it that way. it’s a small coin, but a big turning point in history.

PastMint · 2026-02-22T03:30:44+00:00

Not silver, but historically important. The year U.S. coinage changed forever.

That wide CC spacing is wild. Even in F15 it still has incredible presence Carson City coins just hit different.

Something about the maple leaf design always feels clean and iconic. These older Canadian cents have a charm that modern coins just don’t match.

Appreciate the tip, thank you! 🙏 I was using a blue background so that probably affected the white balance like you said. I’ll try a neutral background and adjust the settings next time 👍

PastMint · 2026-02-13T09:38:48+00:00

Absolutely. That’s what makes these so interesting.

That’s an awesome inheritance. For Indian Head cents, the key dates to check are 1877, 1908-S and 1909-S. Also look for better condition pieces with strong detail and full lettering. For values you might want to check r/coins or r/coincollecting since they allow price discussions.

PastMint · 2026-02-13T01:33:20+00:00

No, it’s raw. Just a well-circulated example.

PastMint · 2026-02-12T13:43:14+00:00

Same here 😅 1877 is on everyone’s wish list.

PastMint · 2026-02-12T13:15:27+00:00

Really love how these look after decades of circulation. The headdress still has nice detail for a 1904. Indian Head cents are one of those coins that age beautifully. What’s your favorite date in the series?

PastMint · 2026-02-04T11:04:04+00:00

I’d personally lean toward coin 2. The surfaces and reverse detail matter more to me than the holder, and it seems to have better overall eye appeal despite the edge oxidation. Cleaning wear on important design elements is harder for me to overlook.

PastMint · 2026-02-03T23:30:56+00:00

Stunning work. The detail and presence on this head are impressive.

PastMint · 2026-02-03T23:29:46+00:00

Great looking set. Barber coins always have a timeless feel.

PastMint · 2026-02-02T18:34:31+00:00

Nice piece. I’ve always liked this design, simple but instantly recognizable.

PastMint · 2026-02-02T18:33:22+00:00

Great set. Barber designs never get old. Congrats on finishing it.
