Thread: Your newest foreigh acquisition!

There's a 1/2 ounce of the Mexican Libertad up for auction on Tuesday at Robert Mayo Auction Service in Kansas City. Online bidding only, plus 10% buyer premium. I've never won anything, but I watch what they list and what it sells for. Lot 540. It's already up to $152.

I wonder if they will go back to their original designs if they drop out of the Euro. Kind of doubt Greece will, but Ireland is another story. Good chance they will revert back to the same coinage designs.

A strongly struck and nicely preserved 1791 Yorkshire Conder Token.

I wish I knew what the original Japanese grade for that coin was. I wonder if mine would go 63?

I got a couple of old dealer's stock books with the sidewise 2x2 vinyl pages. Best foreign coin was a 1969 Canadian Cent proof

I won this one tonight in an auction. I will post my own pics when I receive it in hand. Looks like a beauty! It is graded SP67 by PCGS and has beautiful cameo like devices and some nice peripheral toning on the reverse.
