World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

This medal has been on my radar for some time. I saw this nice one come up for sale on eBay a few weeks ago, and I had to have it. It's a restrike, listed by NGC as "modern restrike" -- unfortunately, the mark/information I need to see to get an idea of how "modern" is on the edge, and not viewable in the NGC holder. Nonetheless, it has a nice aged patina to the surfaces, and quite nice look. If I had to guess, I'd say it is a restrike from sometime in the first half of the 20th Century.

Oustanding pictures!!!

 

Got the lower mintage year 1934 with nice eye appeal.

 

I also got this quite scarce Rhodesia 1951 3 pence in very good condition. Now is worth like a trillion ZIM dollars!!

 

i noticed my few british coins were looking lonely in my coin album, got them some company....

 

then they invited some of their friends to the party...

 

From the Congo.

 

Still on a silver Franc binge...

1933 France 20 francs, 20g, 35mm, .680 silver:



1933B and 1954B Switzerland 5 francs, 15g, 31.45mm, .835 silver. Took long as heck to find any of these without a crazy premium.

 

Stupid 5 image limit... Here's the other side of the '54:

I'm sure you can tell why I got them at a good price! I'll post the rest in a little while.

 

Got these in Canada last week. The SA 1962 20 cents is a rare variety (the 2 in 1962) not yet recognized by NGC and others. The circulated 2.5 shilling have a mintage of only 12,000.

 

I have had this one on my list for around 2 years. Finally found one that I liked. The scuffs are on the plastic, and the coin itself has some gold toning around the rims, and full frosty devices.

 

old school, rough but cool....

Nice !!!Derick

 

Up to snuff on the Canadian nickel collection for the year with this not so cheap silver proof.

 

A fellow PCGS forum member tipped me off about this one being up for sale and I ended-up pulling the trigger. Common date, less than common grade / condition. Plus I didn't have an 1803 FT in my PCGS Charles IV registry set. Based on PCGS photos it appears there's a bit of color, as well.

Here are seller's images and PCGS image that was taken for CoinFacts:
