World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Okay, my latest. Was thinking about the "Magnificent 7," but not in already stretched budget this year. So, I decided to get the "fabulous 5" 2015 5 coin proof set. Seller's picture, as it has not arrived yet at my house. Mintage is approximated at 750 this year:

Here's one recent acquisition from a friend who needed his coins photographed and sold for him, now posted to my store:

Wish I didn't have to sell it, but need the money for a new big bag of world coins.

 

Turkey, 1223 a.h. year 19. 30 para. got this in a 2 for $1 bin, shame it has a hole drilled in it though.

 

I think this is one of the coolest things I've found in a while . It's dime sized which is appropriate. Mintage of 4200.

 

I think you're right!

 

Very excited about this piece. I'm only missing about 6 coins for my complete aussie penny set so to find one I'm missing is pretty rare. But found one I did! Here is the 1933/32 penny. Not super rare or expensive, but enough that I've held off until now. Picked up for $10, best deal I've seen.

 

Just got this one graded, beautifully toned with underlying bloom, MS64.

 

Two recent additions. The patina on the Reale is quite amazing. The coin are angled in the picture to pick up the consistent color. At a steeper angle, it becomes even deeper in color. Straight on, the reverse is much lighter than what's shown. The coin also retains a lot of luster. Very happy with this new addition as it's my first Reale. I like the late die state die crack on the obverse too.

 

Here is the actual picture of my set of the "Fab 5" from Banco de Mexico (courtesy of Don Bailey in Houston, an excellent dealer). It arrived yesterday evening. I have now set #98 in my collection (anticipated mintage is 750--it had been 1000 last year, but anticipated mintages have been reduced):

 

Here is one I just got for a little over melt. Yemen, 1963, 10 Buqsha. . 72 silver.

 

Norwegian Wood!!



BTW did the "Got Wood" thread get axed?

Sorry for all the puns....not really.

 

Another new one today. Just a bullion coin, but first one like it that I have seen.

 

So I just got back from my deployment. During my time gone I spent a lot of time on ebay snatching up world silver coins for right around melt value. All of these coins were purchased below/at/just a smidge above melt. I will break the posts down by country.
