Some Transit tokens:

 

I can't even imagine what kind of toning you would get from all that drool!

 

That nickel is as beautiful as I am. Mighty old!

Best Regards,

Had these for a while and never bothered to post them.

 

1951 DDO FS-101

 

Good detail on the 52 Caz, although I think I recognize it from Top Shot.

 

Picked up my first Spanish Reale today. This one's a cull Half Reale. Paid 9 bucks for it so I figured I couldn't go wrong. This particular one is a Charles IIII. Interestingly, to start with they used the old dies from the Charles III coins and just added an extra "I". Thought that was pretty cool. Also picked up an 1843 New Brunswick but I'll post pics of it in the foreign thread.

 

my latest:

edward i (1272-1307), penny, 1.42g, class 2a (january to may 1280) canterbury mint
obv: facing bust of king, trifoliate crown, +EDW R' ANGL' DNS HYB
rev: long cross with trefoil of pellets in each angle, CIVITAS CANTOR
(s. 1419, n. 1014)

and the new center piece of my collection:

edward i (1272-1307), penny, 1.33g, class 9b (1299-1301) kingston-upon-hull mint
obv: facing bust of king, trifoliate crown, +EDW R DNS HYB
rev: long cross with trefoil of pellets in each angle, VILL KYNGESTON
(s. 1426, n. 1037/1)

the kingston penny would be an equivalent to a key date. the kingston mint had a combined estimated mintage of 250,000, which included pennies, halfpennies, and farthings.

 

^Sweet additions Swish, love the toning on them.

My latest ancient, the infamous Nero.



Nero (54 - 68 A.D.)
AR Denarius
O: IMP NERO CAESAR AVG P P, Laureate head right.
R: SA-LVS, Salus enthroned left holding patera.
3.3g
