View Coin My oldest and favorite error of all time. During the time of George IV Reverse Brockage with partial collar too! 1/2C (1820-23) G.BRITAIN GEORGE IV REV BROCKAGE W/ PARTIAL COLLAR NGC MINT ERROR VF Details This is by far my oldest error coin as it comes from the second decade of the 1800's.

This was a Heritage Auction old lot #37321 from July 28th, 2019

Hammer price with premium was $348 which also made this my most expensive error coin.

View Coin How many hands has the coin visited throughout time. United States SC$1 1894 CA HK-245 CALIFORNIA MIDWINTER EXPO NGC F 15 Old eBay auction won on the cheap many years ago.

This was from the California MidWinter Exposition in 1894

Condition is a F 15 so I wonder just how many people handled this coin during that time.
Has Great Britain vibes with the warrior on the front but I was drawn to the bear when this first came up for auction.
View Coin Previous addition before this one was 8/30/19. Been slacking a bit from this set but the piece has to call to me. Never seen a coronation coin that wasn't silver and the price was under $20. Definitely going to need to research this more.

View Coin   DOLLAR 1964 FITZGERALD COLLECTION NGC REPLACEMENT TOKEN I have always been a fan of history, so when there is a chance to track the history of a coin or medal, it instantly increases the interest for me.
