Thanks Jello! I believe the coin is overgraded, but the slab is still interesting.

 

that 1st coin glows in the dark wow nice grade. the luster is amazing. :thumb:

 

Not surprisingly, I really like these medals. I like the hand-done feel to the reliefs. Are they bronze?

 

Agreed.

 

I know nothing about Germany coins, but I've always liked their understated designs. I appreciate Belarus coins for the same reason.

 

Thanks, the amazing part is it's .420 Silver and only cost me $7. The photo does not do the coin justice, much nicer in hand.

 

A beauty indeed. These are my weakness.

 

Yes, both bronze, got the pair for $10 at the JCNS annual coin show in Lenexa, KS. Same dealer I got an 1797 GB 2 Pence from for $70 that later came back NGC58 and sold for 500+ on eBay. Sold these Egyptian medals on eBid or I would offer them to you.

 

I continue to be absolutely horrible at photographing coins.



Edit: Coin is a 1903 Philippines One Centavo piece

 

they have a pair of these on Ebay right now 1 is brass and the other brass with silver plating.

 

Buying based on auction house images sometimes pays off...

An addition to my small non-primary Charles III set - 1773 Mexico 8 Reales. This one is a non-inverted assayer / mintmark variety of 1773 that will fit nicely with the other 1772 and 1773 I already have in the set.

How the coin looks tilted - the luster and color pop from under heavy toning:

 

One of my favorite foreign acquisitions, and possibly my best Mexican coin. I love the designs on Mexican coins.

 

1923 5 Franc Switzerland - MS63 NGC

 

Getting closer. 12 to go. Decided to add the ANO 2000 10 Peso to the set. Planning on going to the TNA show this weekend in Fort Worth. Hope to find a nice 1921 2 Pesos and maybe the Dansco 7220.

 

1869 Bavarian Madonna Taler. This is the key date to the series.

 

Do you know what page has the Condor thread?

 

Very Nice Key date and a very low mintage coin.Population at Pcgs is 6!
Ngc I can not see.

 

It is beautiful in the photo & you are lucky to have it in-hand. I always enjoy seeing your new coins!

 

The obverse shows Ludwig II, sometimes called the Mad King of Bavaria, who was the patron of the composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883). Ludwig also famously built Neuschwanstein Castle, the most opulent in Bavaria. Beautiful coin too!

Thanks for sharing.

Best Regards, :hail:
