Sorry, could not resist adding this. Love it.

 

Nice!

 

Handsome 1st World War German 5 Mark

I picked this up in a job lot recently - very handsome although i fear the previous owne had used a buffing machine to prepare the obverse for sale!

Still I like it in my small collection of Foreign Crowns

I got these hungarian Forint last week

 

Bahrain - Save the children

Bahrain - Save the children coin, I have been looking for this for almost a year .. I will keep it in this lose scratched capsule until I get an airtight with a foam ring.

 

no fair. You can use lose change.

 

What who said anything about change, this cost me 50 US$ + 7 US$ shipping, from a Portuguese ebay seller

 

You had to buy a Barhein coin from Portugal? Wow. You need to open a coin shop.

 

I will not make much money because the market is too small and I do not like to take advantage of il informed people, I saw the same coin locally for around 150 US$ ..

maybe I will do it when I retire in 25 to 30 years as a way to pass time.

 

Three new coins. The British Virgin Islands one is from eBay. The two Hungarian restrike pieces are from the Heritage world coin auction about 10 days ago (on a Thursday). My favorite of the triplet is the 1929 Hungarian restrike featuring Saint Ladislaus.

 

This 8 realies came in today. Minted in Mexico City. Olay !!!!

 

I still dont own that type. I just wonder if that is a fake.

Looks weird to me.

 

Nahhh Mat, I should be soooo lucky. Its coin of the realm. :welcome:

 

Whats that mean?

The strike just seems soft in the pic.

 

SOL de oro

New Bronze Soles. Best looking specimens of these I found to date. :hail:

1945 SOL de oro



1947 SOL de oro

 

1914-C Sovereign MS62 PCGS

Sandwiched between the rare 1913-C Canadian sovereign and the ultrarare 1916-C Canadian sovereign, the 1914-C is an underrated issue, as legions of bidders flock to buy any examples offered at auction, far more elusive than the later issues such as 1917-C or 1919-C.

Enjoy!

Best Regards, :hail:

Simply superb; your coin has beautiful luster. A gold sovereign is the next coin on my list to purchase for sure

 

Thank you! It's quite a rewarding series. Many of the other sovereigns are underrated as well, but for some like the Australian issues, the question is: which ones?

Michael A. Marsh wrote the useful series reference, The Gold Sovereign, and the Quartermaster auction a few years ago (Monetarium) also contained some useful rarity rankings (and was a gorgeous catalog, to boot).

Best Regards, :hail:

Today, I also found a larger lettering specimen minted in Lima
