World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

This handsome 1992 Russia 50 rubles came yesterday, along with about 300 other coins...I wonder, is this pocket change for Siberian Man?

To ask him, do this @Siberian Man are you there?

 

That one's not been legal tender in over 20 years.

 

Newb for my 66 collection

Monaco 10 francs

 

I was pleased to find this in a job lot of mostly rubbish at a market on Sunday. The box full cost me £20 and there was at least that in scrap silver in there, so this one owes me nothing:

 

Had to pay a bit more than I expected but at PF70UC this 1989 sovereign commemorating 500 years of the sovereign could prove to be a good investment

 

I like that 50 baht commemorative, dated 2560 (2017 AD), Princess Chulabhorn 60th birthday. Referring to @Nas post 2 up.

 

Got this Thai 10 Satang a few days ago. Date is 2462 (1919 AD)

 

I picked up an NGC slabbed 69 of one of these a while back for a premium of about $10 above what they were going for raw (which is still a good bit over the intrinsic value). A proper dip wouldn't hurt it since people will generally want a bullion round from 2002 to be blast white, but there isn't going to be much of a premium unless you've got a 70. Having said that, it's a great bullion round that's not getting any easier to find, and there are a lot of Franz Joseph collectors out there.

 

@Nas @coin_nut So happy to see more thai coins posted! My 19 coin submission to NGC of thai coins have been graded, the grades haven't been posted but be on the lookout! I'm excited......can't wait to see what I get!

 

Here are a couple relatively recent acquisitions for my Hungarian Type set (1848-1956). The last two Hungarian florin types struck during the Austrian occupation period of 1849-1867:

Hungary AR Florin 1866B
(Austria KM-2220)
NGC MS61
Silver (0.900) 12.34g 29mm x 2mm



The florin was revised in 1866 to update the bust of Franz Joseph, however, due to Austria losing control of Lombardy-Venetia to Italy in the Austro-Prussian War that same year (1866), the florin had to be revised yet again to remove the reference to the lost territories, making this a one-year type.

This type was struck in both Körmöcbánya (mint B) with a mintage of 350,000 and in Gyulafehérvár (mint E) with a mintage of only 70,000. This is an extremely difficult type to find in any uncirculated grade.

Which brings us to the florin type that replaced it in 1867:

Hungary AR Florin 1867B
(Austria KM-2221)
PCGS MS62
Silver (0.900) 12.34g 29mm x 2mm



Due to the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 that gave Hungary back its sovereignty, the florin was ultimately replaced by the forint in Hungarian mints the following year. As a result, this florin also became a one year type as far as Hungarian numismatists are concerned (note that it was still struck by Austria until 1872).

This one year type was struck in both Körmöcbánya (mintage of 714,000) and in Gyulafehérvár (unknown mintage - RRR). Although the mintage was more than double that of the 1866 type, it seems just as scarce.

Note that the differences between this type and the type of 1866 are in the legend on the reverse (to remove the reference to Lombardy and Venetia).

1866 reverse legend:
HVNG·BOH·LOMB·ET·VEN·GAL·LOD·ILL·REX·A·A

1867 reverse legend:
HVNGAR·BOHEM·GAL·LOD·ILL·REX·A·A

 

1998 Brazil 5 cent and 2003 Brazil 10 cent. Both good looking coins, to me.

 

I purchased this because it looked a bit odd. It is the correct weight but looks a little crude.

Looks to be a doubled die

 

BTW that 76 qtr. Did you check for mpd?
