A super shiny coin like that is very difficult to photograph, for me. Good job on that one.

 

Holy croakers!

 

These showed up yesterday. I was most anxious to see and hold the Polish 10 zlotych.

 

I have this coin as well. I got mine as a set. They were minted in raised and incluse lettering on the obverse.
Nice coins.

 

A few nice pickups today:

 

Nice coins, Paddy.

 

UH, that be the reverse...the Polish Eagle on the other side is the obverse.

 

Polish pattern 10 zlotych 1971.

 

Wow! Never saw that one before!

 

Western Samoa 1976 Dollar. It's an odd theme, in my opinion for a coin from Samoa. They chose to celebrate their 14 year anniversary by depicting the Bicentennial of the USA.

 

That is one beautiful coin. I love how the frog is polished against the frosted leaf.

 

This circam 1855 Bolivian 1/2 sol caught my eye. Honest wear, & color... whimsical lamas,imagine the stories they could tell?.....165 years worth...



1.5 g [.667] silver, 17 mm ,

 

This is supposed to be UNC, and it may well be as the right side of the reverse could be weakly struck as the pineapple on the left looks normal and an uneven condition over the reverse. Jamaica Half Penny 1919

 

I love it(!) What a great design. And a proba no less!

 

Heritage had a run of these in a recent auction, 1864-A all in MS61, some nicer looking than others. This one actually a wee bit prooflike and with nice clean fields overall. Lower jaw has some substantial abrasion that looks like razor burn at first glance. Under a loupe it looks almost like tooling. But the price was right all things considered, and for the grade quite attractive in-hand. Unlike many others in MS61 and below, it doesn't have the usual abrasion to the upper cheek that looks like a giant black teardrop seen on so many other pieces with this portrait.

 

From Stack's Bowers November "Baltimore by way of Santa Ana sale"..,,.. For whatever reason, a Zeppelin medal that is far more available in Europe than the United States. Few can be found in anything close to this condition here or there. Beats me on the SP63 grade, I would call it a solid SP65. Love the patina on this one.

 

Got this for Christmas Bill Reid Collection from Royal Canadian Mint

 

Here is a new coin I found in a bin of 25 cent coins. I had never came across a Saarland coin before. It looks like there are only 4 km numbers for the whole series and country, and one year.

 

That's awesome for a quarter bin!
