1870 Japan 10-sen with prooflike surfaces

 

2 more 10c

 

A few of my latest bargain buys
This is a cool little UNC set with the 1968 5 & 10 new pences in which is odd since it wasn't until 1971 that decimalisation happened, apparently they became a shilling and a florin then changed causing confusion.

A nice old 50p style Papua New Guinea coin the only difference to the old 50's is it has a rather odd side !

 

Oh.. I forgot I got this !

I love Georgian evasion pieces and this has to be one of my favourites right up there with George rules Britannias isles

 

1965/4 2centaovs a Columbia coin .
I am not sure if there a cherrypicker guide for world coins.

Got this in change

 

I guess you don't live in the uk ? I've just got a bag of 10 £2 coins (searching for the good stuff) and got a 1998 motor racing Isle of Man a Beijing to London hand over and a King James Bible !

 

Pretty coin.

 

There are some great coins here. I really like Mexican coins and here are a few medals which I'm trying to learn more about.

 

Noooooooo, I could not bring myself to purchase a coin depicting an old man over a beautiful woman.

 

Lovely coin. It was issued by the Order of Malta, not the Republic of Malta.

 

I thought the Order of Malta with the cross (pictured on the coin) was in the Republic of Malta???

 

A box of 96 Mexico UN PESO's for $10 from my local B&M
Nice 1981 Open 8:

 

Oops, I see. :headbang: This was a spur of the moment purchase, and I bought it for the design. - Thanks for the heads up onecenter! :thumb:

 

What makes the "Order of Malta" issue even more complicated is that, apart from the Republic of Malta (in, you guessed it, Malta) and the Order of Malta (SMOM) in Rome, there are several other issuers that have similar names. And I think (as in: not sure) that your piece was issued by one of those "imposters". Then again, the design is nice, so if you did not pay too much, sure, keep it.

I paid a little over $30 US. The ANACS slab simply says Malta which is what threw me off. I will have to study this more. Thank you all for your input!

 

A fun purchase is always a good purchase. Nonetheless, you chose well!
