Great crown, congrats!

 

I didn't check for a general junk bin of base world coins, but the junk world silver had a nice selection of 50%-90% coins of varying countries. The other one I wanted to buy but didn't buy was a nice 1930 Netherlands 2.5 Gulden. You should run down there if you get the chance. He seemed very nice, had a nice friendly store dog and sold the coins I bought for spot, which is a decent deal.

BTW - I lived in Chicagoland for 8 years until I became an economic refugee and had to move to another state.

 

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll check it out sometime. It's hard to find good coin shops.

 

Finally got her in hand and had a chance to photograph...

 

wow that thing glows in the dark. sweet grade.

 

The mid-1960s. @Jaelus looked in a Hungarian reference work that quotes it at mintage of 2,080 I believe.

 

Yep. This was a popular restrike. I believe they did a couple runs of them between 1965-1967 with that as the total struck.

Mexican numismatics

 

Always a sucker for mexicos, great silvers Silverino!

 

Very nice strike on the Onza Eagle

 

thanks amigo.....flipping it right now on eBay ;-)

 

Love this issue. I've been working on a Austria-Hungarian empire type set for a while and still suprised at how many nice restrikes there are of the really nice issues. Many are commanding more demand than originals.

 

Yet another Victoria shilling.

 

Newest arrival, an affordable Vicky Crown with the type of toning I like. Still lots of detail left.

 

New pickup related to both my Austro-Hungarian korona set and my Hungarian Millennium set. An interesting piece of period coin jewelry made from the 1896KB Hungarian Millennium korona.

 

New pickup for my Hungarian type set (1848-1946).

Hungary 3 Krajczar 1849NB (KM-434)
NGC MS61 War of Independence

This is a one-year War of Independence (1848-1849) type that is extremely difficult to find in any uncirculated grade due to its low mintage, it being a copper piece, and also due to its size. Many coins of this type had significant planchet defects and are often found with corrosion. This coin is a pretty sizable hunk of copper at 32mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick, weighing in at just under 27g.
