    Nice looking coins. I wonder if our coins will have the same effect on someone in about 2-3 hundred years from now I just can't imagine someone looking at a Roosevelt dime and say, "man what a nice piece of silver"

    I think most of "OUR" coins will have completely dissolved in 2-3 hundred years!

    Tend to like foreign coins better a lot more detail than american coins. Really nice coins. Hang in there before you know it the hunting will commence. Safe & HH

    Those are beautiful silver coins, Dave WOW!

    And some of them are nearly 400 years old! I love the portraits on them as well as the lettering.

    I think some US coins are nearly comparable in their beauty. The Walking Liberty Half is a beautiful coin in my opinion. We may be jaded towards them because we see them so often. I think the Peace Dollar is another US coin that has wonderful designs on both the front and back. And of course the Saint-Gaudens Twenty Dollar Gold Piece is probably the most famously beautiful US coin. (I wish I owned one!)
    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
