Picked this up a few days ago, pretty common silver coin but I liked its look

1873 Belgium 5 Franc (Position A)




Edge lettering - "Dieu Protege la Belgique"

 

I'm lovin' the edge-lettering (very cool)

 

Thanks Steve, it was a bit of a 'surprise' after I freed it from it's holder as the dealer hadn't indicated which edge lettering variety it was and couldn't remember as he had the coin so long. The other variety, Pos B (edge letters are upright with the obverse facing up), is a bit rarer but no real $ effect unless its MS.

 

Wow. That's nice. I thought it might be kind of a rare coin, since the state of South Peru was only around for a couple of years. It was centered in Arequipa, and it was a front for Bolivia trying to get some ocean frontage. Thanks Derick!

 

I picked out these few out of a 3 kilo lot of mixed coins I bought today along with two WWI bayonets and some odd military stuff.
Although I`m keeping most of them, I think just one or two coins in this pic will cover my outlay for the whole lot.(£50)
I did ask on another post about the two ancients as I don`t know much about them.

 

Got this one at no charge a couple weeks ago, my first Canadian coin and sparked my interest into possibly getting more soon

Here's something I picked up at a Tokyo coin show recently-- 1870 One Yen, and 1871 Fifty Sen

 

That Aussie florin should just about cover everything. Nice pickup!

 

Yeah I realised that when I looked it up, pity it wasn`t the 1920

 

youz forcing me ta bring out the highlights...little at a time.

 

Here's something I got in change today-- a 1993 Japanese 50-yen proof coin.

 

KM# 298 Peru (1986) ND 100 Intis (coinage reform). Low mintage of 10,000 due to high inflation at the time.

Just a couple more, till. 'morrow, Short 16.

 

1933-34 China 1 Yuan "Junk dollar" featuring Sun Yat-sen, first president of the Republic of China.
