Ooooh very official looking. So official, in fact, that it made its way here with me forcefully nudging it along. This coin is from one of the thirty-thousand countries that currently wants to blow us up and has been demonetized since it was minted 44 years ago. It features a starving lion carrying a sword in the hot sun on the obverse and a 1 on the reverse. I got it pretty cheap and it's worth about $1.00 in this condition. Not too shabby!

You should crop all your coins!
ReplyDeleteI actually did crop most of my newest buys so expect to see some cropped pictures mixed in with older, non-cropped ones.
DeleteSo I will (BTW, I read your blog every time there's a new post!).
DeleteWell, be ready! I'll have another post coming out shortly.
