I got this in the mail today. It's Isle of Man 1798 1 penny. It's too bad that someone defaced it, but I really like the three-legged design for some reason and have always wanted one like this.

 

I got this in change the other day. Peru 1864 YB one dinero abbrevared (I guess)/as dino. KM190

 

Got this one earlier this year via HA auction. It's a EP Newman piece. It's very attractive Australian Gold Sovereign with an orangish hue.

 

What is it? The stuff dreams are made of:

 

Yeah, my speedy attempts at capturing the warped franc were also pretty weak.

 

Wow nice pickup !!!
Looks like a bowl.

This might not look like much, but I've been looking for this coin for about two years or more. These never come up for sale and I never find them. I had to get this from Germany. It completes my set of Mexican 5 centavos from 1906 to 2002, when the series ended.

 

I've never found one for under a $100 for UN ultime franc?

 

I paid €35 + €6.50 shipping.

 

Congratulations! I have someone in Mexico looking for the 3 you need plus the one I need, 1974 20 Centavos KM#441 in BU. I check 2 coins shows this month with no luck. I carry your want list with me. I'll scratch this one off your list

 

Well I was able to pick up the 1952 20 Centavos by buying a package which included the 1 and 5 centavos. Paid $13 for the set. 1 centavo retails for .85, 5 centavos for $11.50 and 20 Centavos $35 in BU. Where are the bargains in U.S. Coins?
The 1985 100 Pesos goes in my World Silver collection. Im down to one 20 Centavos to complete the 1943-1974 set in UNC/BU. Somebody out the please have a 1974 KM#441 20 Centavos in BU. I found 4 in Mexico but they all had ugly black spots.
Come on, this is a $2 coin! Where are you hiding? Hiddendragon help me out here, I know you feel my pain.

 

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I have a 1974 20 centavos but not in BU. I'm not as picky about condition as you are. The only 20 centavos I need for my 1906 to the present collection is 1908, which is the rarest one in the series.

 

KM#46, 1977 Tonga, 20 Seniti, mintage 25,000 . Bees. This is an upgrade to the 1 I already have. for the "coins with insects" collection. cool design.:

 

just bought off Ebay. Phillipines. I was not aware of 2 different sizes for these butterfly coins until yesterday. for the "coins with insects" collection. enjoy:

 

Finally someone sent me the larger version of this coin. It was an added bonus in the swap envelope that arrived yesterday. The larger coin is about the size of a half dollar (31mm). This design would be great in silver.

 

Forgot to mention, there seems to be a die crack from rim to eye...

 

Do hockey pucks count as a coin?
?

 

they do in the bullion threads. cool 5 oz'er
