Went to Fort Worth coin show this morning. I was able to pick up 3 new additions for my U.S. Philippine Type set. Total cost for all 3 was $1.50. Happy Me. What made me even happier was when I mentioned I was trying to sell some India Princely States hammered paisas. The dealer said she would like to see them the next time I came to the show. Did I mention I happen to have them in my truck outside? I'll be right back. She bought them all for a quick profit of $36.

 

Good price for those, I just need the 1 centavo for my set but been too slow to get it.

 

Did I mention I just made $36 at the coin show? I couldn't leave without spending it. I was on the prowl for World Mint or Proof sets. I was almost finished with the tables when I spied a set I had been waiting for on Ebay. I haven't found one that I liked for the price I wanted to pay. Today it was going to happen. I asked tyhe dealer for a price and he made me a quote that was about $50 less than any I have found on Ebay! After my heart stopped pounding, I asked him if he could do better. He asked me what I had in mind. I told him I collected World Mint sets and was probably the only one in the room that appreciated the set. I asked him if he would take $9 less. He looked me straight in the eyes, glanced over to the set, back to me and said "sold". Got his business card and email. Says he has some more sets at his store and to contact him after the show. Both of us were happy with the transaction.

This is a strange set. A total of 30 coins. 2 each of the coins. Display shows the obverse and reverse of each. Good thing too since they are glued to the case!
The 20 Baht is a one year(1963) Silver Commemorative coin. The set has 4 different 1 Baht coins. 2 are commemorative, 1 is Copper-Nickel, and the other is labeled as Silver. I question the validity of the Silver label since the Silver 1 Baht is considered as "rare". Both pass the magnet and tissue test, but since they are glued to the case, I have no way of weighing them. They do have a slightly different color then the CN coins, a hint of toning, but nothing like the 20 Baht.

The set is technically a 1963 but contains coins from 1940,1946, 1950,1957,1961,1962, and 1963. Most are 1957. Some of the coins are issued in Tin, Bronze, and Copper. It's more of a type set than an annual mint set. Nice red case with a Flying Dragon on the lid.

Oh yeah, the $36 profit paid for slightly more than half of the cost. Got out of the show spending $25.50 total.

Wow, well this is the best haul I've ever gotten. Put a lowball bid in and won! I ended up paying $60 under melt for this. Super pleased!

 

Awesome coin.

Nice horde!

 

So I've decided to also collect coins with airplanes on them (just like @spirityoda with his bug coins) and here's my first one! It's actually a token I guess but man it looks good! Sellers photo

 

I have this coin, but your coins grade blows my mind . wow amazing grade.
my 2016 Krause says your coin is KM#363, 1906, 2 Kroner, .800 silver, mintage-100,000 only goes up to grade MS-63-$350.00 . if not to personal what did you pay for this coin ?

 

If you are going for coins with planes check out Marshall Islands. They did a ton of them in the 1990s.

 

I have seen those! I've seen a lot in Russia as well. This will be a very long journey.

 

@rooman9 Hi. I just now bought you a North Korea 2002 , 1/2 Chon, Jet airplane coin off Ebay KM#194 aluminum




it was cheap. cool collection for sure.

 

Thanks! You are too nice. This forum has the best people!

 

If you're looking for nice airplane coins, check this one out:

There were both a business strike and a proof strike.

 

Here some real American planes a few miles away. That Rock my windows.

 

That's quite the coin, I'll have to keep my eyes open for it!

 

Blew my entire California unemployment check on it; all $450 of it. (Only qualified for a single week of unemployment after having found another position so quickly, and decided a little celebration was in order).

Anyway, he has another one that is graded MS65 that he wants $1250 for, though it is a point lower.

I had looked at both at the ANA convention. Looked at this MS65 coin first since it looks like a proof and there is no indication in Krause that one was ever struck (not sure about the Sieg catalog). It's a fabulous coin, but has a tiny nearly microscopic rim nick at 6:00 obverse, and the price was a bit of a shocker. I asked to see the MS66 thinking he would want about as much, and thought the asking price was very reasonable (500) before negotiating down to $450.

Most of his inventory is pretty expensive, but if owning the very best is part of your passion when collecting coins, then he is certainly a dealer who you can rely on for some pretty exciting coins.

 

Another new addition just in from Australia for my type set. These get pretty pricey in anything above Fine condition. This one gF obverse, VF reverse with some luster left in the letters on the reverse.

 

well worth it in my opinion. even $500 would be worth it. you never see them this good. coin or food ? coin lol.
