Go back to 1831 in France and stop the thieves that stoled the 36 solidi gold medallion of Justinian I, only to (most likely) melting it down...

Every Byzantine follis with the large 'M' (not the later, 'anonymous', issues). I already have many but never got tired of looking at them. Even the crappiest Eraclius restrike, with illogical lettering and crazy shapes, is special to me

Every Venezuelan silver coin, since I usually find them at spot, or even a bit under, and I like so much the design and the portrait of Simon Bolivar

I must have a full roll of late silver bolivares (mostly 1960 and 1965)

If I don't like a set, I wouldn't invest time and money in it. IMHO you should try to complete the sets that excite you the most ;)

Italian grade: qBB (scratches/hits, but some luster)

Sheldon grade: possibly VF-20? Not too familiar with American grading system...

Pretty common coin. There are two varieties of the 1927 5 lire: one with one star on the edge (*) and one with two (**) wich was minted with planchets manufactured by the Società metallurgica italiana - and not by the mint.

I've always wondered about how much frequently the Panamanian coins shows up in circulation in the US, since they're of about the same size and composition of their US counterparts.

I vote for the 1914 5 lire.

Same design on 1 & 2 lire, but really best on a 37 mm coin.

Not in my possession and probably never going to be. Too many fakes and too pricey

1976 is a Maltese coin, not sure however on denomination. Possibly 5 or 10 cents.

EDIT: and I think I spotted also the 1902. Germany 2 mark, commemoration of Friedrich of Baden on His 50th reign anniversary.

I know nobody is forcing me, it's just so much fun :D

I'll have another shot: 1913 = French 1 Centime (maybe? Not sure about that...)

Is this wear on the 1987 quarter? The edge look smooth.

Is 1975 a Philippine 5 Piso?

EDIT: and is 1984 an Italian 200 lire?
