Wow, very detailed. Another piece from Saxony; St. Anna (the mine location) is in Saxony too. Also see here; apparently it is from 1690.

Back in 1979 was a semi well know coin shop. I used while stationed there

 

Just got this off the 'bay. So excited. I've been watching it for several days. Apparently so have some other people. But it's mine These are the seller's pictures.

 

I like the toning.

 

yeah that's why I bought it.

 

Probably paid too much but whatever. I like the toning and I like the eagle design.

 

Here's a few that I got recently. I'd be interested in any info anyone can give me on the Polish coin. I don't have a Krause from the 1700s.

Per Krause: Galicia / Lodomeria - Oswiecim (Aushwitz) and Zator.

This ancient principality is part of modern Poland and Russia. It became part of Poland in 1386 and was passed to Austria in the first partition of Poland in 1772. Coins were made at Oswiecim for the area with special Austrian types in the 1770's and 1790's. They were used by the Austrian Army fighting Kosciuzko.

Here are a pair of silver Hungarian coronation jetons I got from a recent HD Rauch auction. While these jetons have Hungarian legends, other versions were also minted in German and in Latin. Both have proof-like surfaces.

1867A (Vienna) Silver Jeton
Coronation of Emperor Franz Josef I as King of Hungary
Montenuovo 2710, 3.3g, 20mm, Smooth Edge


1867A (Vienna) Silver Jeton
Coronation of Empress Elisabeth as Queen of Hungary
Montenuovo 2714, 3.3g, 20mm, Smooth Edge

 

I received a special mint set this afternoon. In 2009 Mexico reduced the size of it's 10,20,and 50 Centavos. the 10 went from 17 mm to 14, the 20 from 19.5 to 15.3, and the 50 went from 22 to 17 mm. The set contains both of each. I also think the Mint packaging is spectacular.

I like it and the packaging. I need to check if I have both 10 centavos coins. I know I have both of the 20 and 50 but that one might have escaped my notice.

 

The Pair...

 

Just picked up one of the textured fields 2015 Britannias. Really pretty coin, and low population for now (I am sure more will be certified, but still low pop):

 

I really like the British Trade Dollar better than ours. I picked up a lower grade specimen, primarily because I'm supposed to be on a hiatus from coin purchases. But another reason is so that I have one to study in hand before spending more money on the series.

 

Just watch out, these get expensive very quickly (even for common dates) in higher grades.
