Beautiful coins! I've never seen the platinum one before. I also didn't know the American Buffalo was 24k vs. 22k for the Eagle.
I was a HUGE coin nerd as a child. My oldest was an 1863 three cent piece. It was much smaller and thinner than a dime. I ended up selling off most of my collection as a young adult but then have gotten into it again within the past few years. I always remember, as a child trying to imagine all of the hands those coins had passed through.
What flies without wings? Time.
The platinum is beautiful, isn't it? I actually didn't realize there was so much difference until I paired them up together. These pictures were the worst, but, I was taking them with my cell phone and to be honest, they come out a lot better with the camera. Usually, I don't mind the cell phone if that is all I have with me. I was at the other house... too many hours away to want to change.
You were a coin nerd? :) That makes my heart happy to hear. :) Great coin! I love to hear stories of kids being so passionate about something. I used to wonder about the number of people who traded it off. I still love coins. Got a coin from a shipwreck. It is pretty cool and not American, but, it is the coolest Spanish coin from the 1700s
When you get something special like that, it makes me want to find another to keep it company!
