Beautiful coin, but what happen to that table :thumb:

 

Here is an example of a Japanese Trade Dollar of mine...

And the Mexican 8 realie...

 

1970 Canadian Cent Double Queen's Back

 

At some point, I'll need to get over to Home Depot and pick up more acetone, since these have some heavy PVC on them, but not an awful purchase, IMO. Got them off eBay under spot as a part of a larger foreign silver lot. I prorated the price based upon the silver content of the total lot.

 

I always thought that the Japan Trade Dollars actually said "Trade Dollar" in the ring.

 

Some Japanese trade dollars do. I don't know enough about them to know why some do and some don't.

 

nice specimens. The Mexican varieties seem particularly hard to come by. Does anybody know if Japanese and Mexican dollars are faked as much as US dollars? I feel like I'd be taking a risk buying on eBay.

 

1694 Wurtemberg 2Taler. The color is much nicer than in the photo.

 

Wow, lovely!

 

It took me over three years to find this coin, but the wait did pay off. I think it is at lest MS63.

 

Ive had those adventures too. Im currently on another with a single roman empress set I am building. 2 out of 3 are available but I dont wanna pay their asking. But with ancients I dont worry about MS this or slabs. :/

Still thats a lovely coin I would even own. I love early moderns.

 

1970 Jamaican 1 cent

 

one of these cost $1 and the other $2 do not remember which
both have nice copper color unlike black which i see alot and both have purple tone

 

to go with my lions of the same design the 1911 is sterling and my first .925 of this type

 

No. Only the Trade Dollars say Trade Dollar on them. The ones that say "One Yen" aren't Trade Dollars, they're yen coins meant for circulation in Japan. The ones that have "gin" counterstamps were sent to China, so I guess they could also be technically called trade dollars, but not Trade Dollars.

 

1927 Italy 5 Lire, PCGS MS65



Super common coin in an extraordinary state of preservation.

 

British 1907 One Penny

This coin is purple in color, this is one amazing coin
