    just bought this 1997 Isle of Man, 1 Crown, proof cat coin I have wanted for about 10 years now. The main reason I wanted it is because of the cat skeleton on it. call me weird... it's ok. I think it has a cool factor with the cat skeleton on it. plus we have 4 real cats. go figure. I asked the guy if I could buy it separately from the 4 coin set and he finally said yes. so happy right now. wow I have spent my coin money for the next 3-4 months with this coin and coins from gbroke and Josh's coins and 3 coins off Ebay..

    I saw the photos of the Straits Settlements coins,they are nice but have you seen an 1894 50 cent Straits coin? I have one that was in a large amount of coins I bought and it was in them. I asked Heritage for some info on it and they want to do a write up on it in CoinWorld. It's actually the first one I have ever seen in any denomination.

    Coin World has very little about world coins. The only mentions are in the monthly price updates .
    I been a subscriber for over 29 +years . There focus is more centered to US coins. I hate to say this but Coin World has become more like a sales page for Tpg Stacks Ha etc .but there is still good article if you get pass all ads.

    I am not really a collector of proofs, but decided to get the complete first Ibero Americana Encuentro de dos mundos set. Here is a favourite from Peru,

    Excuse the description on the 1894 Straits Settlements coin it is not a Queen Elizabeth but a Queen ZVictoria!! But of course I am sure you already knew that but that's just how easy it is to make a mistake!! :)
