World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I'm not sure if I overpaid for this one, but I really wanted a silver Russian rouble. I paid $37.50 total for this, but I have no regrets because I simply wanted one of these. This is just so people know, while I look at silver primarily as an investment, I do have a decent collection of numismatic and semi-numismatic coins.

Despite the recent drop in PM price I still went out to get this



May be a good time to get some gold?

 

It was a steal at US$10.00! A wonderful find!
The South African 5 Shillings (up to 1960) and the decimal 50-cent coin (1961-64) of this gorgeous silver crown have been viewed as one of the most stunning designs in world coinage, whether the Springbok or a commemorative reverse. I recently completed purchase of all four South African silver proof decimal sets from 1961-64. These old silver and brass proof coins and their nice hinged cases are just lovely to look at.

 

I agree, I have the complete 5 Shilling proof set. I got this set from my Father, he bought it before I was born 38 years ago. The Springbok design is fantastic and the brass coins have a lovely tone.

 

An absolutely gorgeous set of crowns. A lovely collection indeed!

 

I have 1 of these but your grade blows mine away. Mine has some rust on it. I liked the helmet part of it but got it for the "hand" holding the grenade part of this coin. will post it later this week for you to see.

 

Here's my newest coin with insects (praying mantis) coin: [h=1]2012 KAZAKHSTAN PRAYING MANTIS HIERODULA TENUIDENTATA 50 TENGE COIN ~GEM BU~[/h]

 

Here's an okayish photo of both. I don't have a lot of experience dealing with ancient coins, but I want to get more. So far all I have are these and an Alexander Severus denarius.

 

Latest auction win: This variant has no finesse countermark.

 

Glad to see other people collecting Albanian coins

 

Talking about SA brass and toning. Here is a fine specimen I bought in Aus last month.

 

I also got this copper nickel clad copper half Balboa from Panama. I find the coin shops in Australia of very high standard and love buying stuff there!

 

I got in 1969 while I was in Vietnam so it not New
coin shops were Hard to find as was time off too!! But did did find a way to still hunt for coins as a 18yr old US GI.

Yip. Very modern, like the mat black paint jobs on some new sport cars.
