This one is actually pink.

 

I don't collect toned coins but if I did I'd be picking up that one. Love the pink with the copper/bronze.

 

I picked this up for no other reason than I liked it, and found it interesting.
1905 Danish West Indies 5 Cents. XF

Double denomination, 5 Cents and 25 Bits
Monogram of Christian IX on Obverse
Reverse: 5 Cents and 25 Bits
Trident, symbol of the sea
Caduceus, symbol of commerce
Sickle, symbol of agriculture
Single year issue with mintage of 199,000. Also Proof-like mintage of 20.(high Dollar)
Specimen strike.

Danish West Indies is now part of the Virgin Islands, acquired by the United States in 1917.

 

Finally got my hands on one of these Albanian 10 Leke pieces. This isn't the nicest one around, but it was 2x spot (and already graded). Nice big 0.999 silver coin!



===============================

And, I already have the proof version of this 1977 Austrian 100 Schilling coin, but I love the design so I figured I'd also pick it up in MS.

 

I was looking for a broadaxe Gulden to go with the Halberd that I posted here a few months ago & came across this nice low mintage MS65:

1880 Netherlands 10 Gulden (Broadaxe) King William III (mintage 50,100)

 

Nice JJ 50,100 is a low . The 1880's world wide mintage are low on a lot of coins.

 

I went to the local Fort Worth coin show today. I didn't really have an agenda, but I like to see what' new. Silver was too high. Maples at $25 and ASEs at $29. A lot of Gold on display. World coin dealers were discounting 20 to 33% off. I ended up picking up about 20 coins and only spent $39. I upgraded a few of my Mexico type coins and added a couple of 19th century minors from Mexico. A nice crowd and only managed to bump into 2 or 3 people without knocking anyone down.
Notice the off center strike on the 1982 Peso.

 

A few more. Notice weak strikes on 1899 10 Centavos and 1906 5 Centavos.

 

Wonderful Mexicos, my favorite world moderns!

 

Wow nice one for sure:-[

 

These are from Transnistria, a breakaway state that's officially part of Moldova. So arguably, these are fantasies:

 

Would not call them fantasy issues. Those coins are used in the area or country (which sure is a strange entity in various regards). By the way, the name "Transnistria" may be common but is kind of odd - it refers to the geographical position only from a Moldovan-Romanian point of view.
