(Active) Eclectic "Box of 20" (Misc. certified/slabbed coins)
|
|
|
|
A wooden slab box that holds 20 certified coins. This set operates on the "one in, one out" principle. When a new coin goes in, an old one must come out! Anything goes in here: Ancient, Medieval, Modern, World, USA, Exonumia... you name it, as long as it's slabbed. Yes, there are a few slabbed ancients in here, but I am mostly through with the idea of entombing those in plastic. If you hate slabs as many here do, just look at the coins and ignore the labels.

USA, Type 3 Indian Princess gold dollar, 1889This appealing little coin represents the end of an era, as 1889 was the last year the United States Mint struck gold dollars. (REAL gold dollars, I mean- not what they call "golden" dollars now.) Gold dollars are the most commonly encountered US gold holeys. As such they were popular gifts at the time, and gold dollars were not far behind dimes in popularity as host coins for love token engraving. This one isn't a love token- just a holey- but I'm fond of it. I had several others on my hat but one year a friend wanted to buy a pair to make his wife some earrings for Christmas.lordmarcovan
