Picked up this from a local jewellers scrap pot this morning:

Norway 10 Kroner 1964 0.900 Silver
KM# 413 single year issue.

 

This coin is not a new acquisition. In fact, it was in a desk drawer in my parent's house the entire time I was growing up. I think my father brought it back from France at the end of World War II. But, seeing your post made me think of it.

 

Now I just need to find a 1927 for my hoard.

 

Have this one coming. My first Trinidad and Tobago coin. Proof Mintage-10,000

 

I don't know how you find coins that look so nice. It's hard to believe that French coin looked that good straight from the mint.

 

Thailand - 1 Baht 1970

 

Some random purchases from last week.

A very nice 1906 Mexico 2 centavos



1966 Mexico mint set



A small run of British North Borneo




Seychelles silver proof

 

Oddball for a quarter, not seen often,

 

$10

 

Mexico - 1944 20 Centavos
KM 439
Mintage of 83,650,000​

 

Two modern coins from my Tasmanian friend in the mining industry ....
and the next one is a 2 cent proof from 1982.



its nicer than it looks in the flip, but haven't changed it out to one of mine yet. Maybe Australia needs good quality flips over there? Might be an opportunity...for any dealer members.

 

Added one to my US Minted set today.
Does this look AU or UNC ?

Also have a 1966 1/2 Balboa on the way...Also for my US Minted set.

 

It looks UNC but with PVC contamination from whatever it was stored in. (JMHO)

 

Current market I'd say 55, AU ,in front ,it's in front of the face

 

So it needs to be dipped? Not sure what I have (acetone) will remove PVC contamination.
