Best of the Type!


R19~0.jpg

If you have a superb coin post it here. Only the very best example of each type (RIC number for example) with a four star rating or above will stay. If anyone posts a better example the current example will be deleted. If your coin is posted here, you get bragging rights and perhaps even a higher price if you sell (list it as "Best of the Type in FORVM's Gallery!").

Superb and Masterpiece Portrait Gallery


ss01.jpg

A superb portrait appears that it could come to life. Many or most coin portraits actually lack this trait. A masterpiece portrait not only appears that it could come to life, but also makes an impression of what the subject was like, what they were thinking or how they felt.
