World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

2nd purchase of 2015. I wasn't really looking for this but was able to get for what I consider a great price. This is from a 1974 Panama Proof Set. Coins are sealed in plastic so pics aren't super. Interesting note, The 1974 circulation coins were minted in the U.S. at West Point. The proofs were minted at San Francisco. No mint marks on the coins. A lot of Panamas coins were minted at the Franklin Mint.
The set consist of 1 Centesimo, 5 Centesimos, 1/10th, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 Balboa. Only the Balboa is Silver. It alone is worth more than what I paid for the set. To me anyway.

Nice brunch of beautiful coins to start the morning off. Steve

 

Love that gun-metal patina!


Found this gothic florin at my local coin shop today.

 

Thanks! Finally got the coin in the mail today. It looks even better in hand, especially the reverse. I'd say it's a borderline AU. Not sure why NGC graded it so hard. I've seen them give XF45 to ones with significantly more wear.

 

very cool coin

 

1929 1/2 Sol

 

Beautiful Coin

 

Thank You!!!! Also one not seen much on cointalk.
old buy here below

 

I got a 1942 6 pence. South African Proof.

 

Nice tone to your coin

 

that first coin is so amazing. how rare is it ?

 

those are awesome...that horse coin is great...and i like the 3D effect of the cube on the reverse of the last.

 

That coin is not that rare, but in the grade its in,..its not an easy find.

 

The last coin is an 1818 Taler (Thaler) from Bavaria. It is a commemorative Taler that commemorates the new constitution of 1818.
The horse 1/2 Taler is favorite of mine it goes good with my 1600's 2 Taler piece.
