500th Anniversary Christopher Columbus

Well... you've heard the term "costume jewelry"?

So ya... this is the exact same thing, except with coins!

(Sorry...)


HOWEVER... in the world of coins, value doesn't always determine the importance to you!

If you happen to be a huge Christopher Columbus fan, then you might enjoy this coin!

Or if it was given to you by someone important to you, then it may hold priceless importance to you.

For example: my own favorite types of coins tend to be the ones you can tell were circulated (from 1700's or 1800's or early 1900's).

I just love the idea of touching something that so many others back then also touched! (Makes me feel connected to them.)

(But of course I also appreciate the artistic beauty of uncirculated rare coins as well!)
