World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Got these today at the monthly flea market for $2.50 total:





The farthings are decent condition as is the NZ 3d, but once I got home and looked it up, the Cuba 10 centavos was the winner.

Like the NZ threepence. Tons of detail still on the coin and the dark toning just brings that out more.

 

2014 Aussie half dollar found in the reject slot - Nice coin, if not for the rims ruined by the coin counter!

 

Those are great!

 

Here is a little French Medieval coin I picked up as part of a trade.

Got these back from PCGS:

PR64RB

MS66

 

And got these from my dealer...

1865 Hong Kong 1C

1753 Italy Papel States Quattrino

 

I was pretty excited to get this Portugal 1 escudo from 1935. These are super rare and the mintage is only listed with a dash in Krause. This completes my series and is also one of the rarest coins I own now.

The other is a silver Turkish coin that I picked up for my turtles collection.

 

The first two I like; the third one ("5 europanos") is a private/fantasy issue. It shows a flag that was designed by Duncan Sandys (UK) for the Council of Europe (which was/is not an EC/EU body). Not sure why it shows 15 stars; the CoE had more members then ...

Happy to find this one....1785 Mexican 8 Reales, Mo (Mexico City mint)...

 

Nice, 66 on the Europa Those shrewd fellas at PCGS should have added a star after that 66 though

 

I agree. A lovely piece from a great seller! [emoji6]

The rest of my new additions....

 

Oops. Didn't quite make it.

 

Recently released. Had to have one for my wife's bear collection.

 

wow so fast I just got my "Howling Wolf" privy Maple.

 

The first coin is another great gift from my friend @spirityoda Thanks again!

 

I got these surprise silver bi-metals when buying some Mexican Pesos at a bit less than exchange rate. Someone I know had recently visited Mexico for a couple weeks and when he came into town he sold me some coins loose in a bag. (about 1000 face in mixed denominations). Some used looking ones, but check out both bottom coins dated 1992. One of them has wonderful natural toning. I took the best possible picture I could to show condition. I don't think the toning will show as good as in person.



By the way, I did get a new camera last month. Sony DSC-H300. I mainly got it for other purposes, so I'll probably need another camera meant for coin photography.
