It interests me that they would put 'fine silver' on a coin from 1690.

 

Some new coppers

 

nothing fancy.

 

that's a sweet coin. nice find. envy is the word.

 

Stunning!

 

Not Bidding on this @ H.A auctions . But with Gold Down Could be a good bid. <^>

 

1931 B Switzerland 1 Franc (light toning around edge)

 

picked up some new chinese coins, not much to see on back..




here's the obverse side..



here is my best attempt at attribution left to right..

left:northern song, emperor hui zong, 1101-1125ad, "10 cash", chong ning zhong bao ("sublime, peaceful, heavy, currency...read top, bottom, left, right), 33mm, 9.3g.

middle: northern song, emporer shen zong, 1068-1085ad, yuan feng tong bao (seal script?), 1 cash coin. 29mm, 5.9g

rigth: tang dynasty, minted after 620ad...not sure exactly when...maybe as late as 907 (end of tang?), seems this type of coin was minted under different rulers? kai yuan tong bao, 25 mm, 3.4g.

if anyone can tell me anything else or correct my attribution, I would appreciate it!

 

Not quite new but I've never posted them yet..... Gotta pay for and anxiously await the arrival of my newest purchases of over 10 lbs. non-us coins. That should take a while to sift through.

 

Yay! Spanish Pistreens! Unfortunately, I haven't bought myself any yet.

 

The lot sold for $2,467.50 (not that I was tracking it or anything).

 

I guess gold spot had no issue on this One.

 

Good stuff!

 

More Copper's

 

1971 Turkey 1 Kurus; not exactly a new acquisition (let's say 'recently re-discovered').
Not uncommon/valuable, but I think it's likely the smallest coin in my collection & thought some folks might find interesting.
I've posted it with a US dime for comparison.

Bronze, 1 gram, 14mm

 

SA 1924 1 Shilling.

 

This one has medal alignment, is this common on Austrian? and what grade would you give?

 

What you call "medal" alignment is indeed the standard for coins in pretty much every country. When that 1 kreuzer coin was issued, things were a little different, but yes, Austria did it even back then.

Great coin!
