here is my first purchase of the year a 1st century BC dobunni silver unit. a bargain at £420 oh and thanks to the seller for letting me use his photo...........my new camera has a fault.
I bought a BU 1963 Mexican Peso for $2.25. It's still kind of shocking to realize that those 'silver wash' pesos have metal value.
And this is my first purchases in 2011. 4 heller 1829, principality Hessen-Cassel. 1 cent 1823, Netherlands, King William I.
lovely hesse cassel coin, one of my main interests are german states coins, how much did you pay for it? my copy in VF was £13.50p
10 walkers, 11 barber quarters, 3 SLQ's, and 3 BU washington quarters for $179. Almost all the coins are F-VF, with a few VG examples. That's 6.7oz of silver way under spot Gotta love eBay sometimes!
The first coins that I bought in 2011 were also the first ones that were dated 2011. The Estonian euro and cent coins ... Christian
Great Coins All.... Very cool stuff, I like the Silver Unit moneyer12, very cool. I hope to add some examples of those to my collection eventually. Siberian Man: Nice additions GBroke: Thats a fine looking QEII Canada Half Dollar. That nickel roll looks like it is missing part of the roll.... Great coins everyone, this is my only purchase so far this year is a Silver Denarius that was minted in 74 AD by the Emperor Vespasian. Note the detail of the snake heads on the caduceus on the reverse.... very cool, I have wanted one with this reverse design for a long long time. ------------------------- Emperor Vespasian (AD 69 - 79) Silver Denarius, Rome Mint AD 74 obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANUS AUG - Laureate head right. rev: TR P COS V PON MAX - Winged Caduceus. ---------------------------
