Thanks! But the real credit goes to the mintmasters that designed the older coinage. I think older coins are so much better looking then modern ones, with odd exceptions. Here is a really nice one.....Hungary AV Dukat 1677 K-B (Kremnitz Mnit) Emperor Leopold I

 

As promised, here are some of yesterday's pickups:

Australia - 1966 50 Cents



Austria - 1964 (Proof) 50 Schilling
(mintage of only 67,950)



Austria - 1975 (Proof) 100 Schilling

Several very nice ones there! That coin is from Vienna, see the CoA below the word "Schilling". A piece from Hall would feature the Tyrolean eagle there ...

Nice coins Christian! I really like the Austrian Olympic ones. If, I had to pick a favorite Country (even though I am German) to collect....it would be Austria, when it was the "Holy Roman Empire". That would have encompassed most of Germany/Austria/Italy/Austrian Netherlands/Czech Rep/Former Yugoslavia) These were so unique in many aspects....first milled coins/first dated Christian coins/first larger format gold/silver/ really large 100/50/40 Dukats/great reverse design(Double Headed eagle) Here is one of my favorites from there....A Double Souverain d'or 1831-A (Vienna Mint) Holy Roman Emperor Franz II Lombardy-Venetia John

 

I just got this a few days ago -- accidentally, actually !!

Mexican Libertad 1/2 ounce gold MS69 Ultra Cameo:


Anybody into the Libertad gold coins ? Guy was asking $950 and I had made what I thought was a low-ball offer of $725. Didn't think it would be accepted and was actually looking at other coins so I was a bit surprised when he/she accepted.

Hope I got a good price.......

 

Yet another bullion coin for the collection.

 

I picked these up today. None are really inline with what I collect but the local coin pusher threw them all in for a dollar when I was picking up some other items today. Some I know what they are and others I don't have much of an idea.

 

Not bad at all for a dollar.

 

Well I bid on this and won it without contest. Yet another 1942 threepence one of the key dates. Mintage is a hair over 500,000. So now I have two ;D Sellers pics (which is why it's so fuzzy).

 

Please tell us the fraction of gold your coin has, if it's not on the label !

Oops! wrong photo for Andorra Euro Set. Uploaded the mistake by mistake.

1891 German East Africa (Deutsch Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft)
1/4 Rupie - KM #3 Emperor William II

 

Nice, I like them all

 

I ran across this proof set and had to have it. The 5 Pound is awesome. It commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's Coronation. It also has a bi-colored 2 Pound coin commemorating the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA. The 50 Pence celebrates 100 years of Women's Social and Political Union. the 2 Pound coin symbolizes the advance of technology from the Iron Age to the Internet.

This is what is known as an Executive Proof set. It comes in a metal box which displays the set when you open it up. Set pops up when case is opened. Sort of neat, but also sort of clunky, and big. Kind of a nice conversation piece, however.

2003 United Kingdom Golden Jubilee Executive Proof Set. Mintage 5,000

 

Been a bit slow lately, have to save money for college. But I just saw this and knew I could win it cheap. About 3 oz of aussie silver for $5 less than melt Sellers photos

 

Nice group of silvers!

 

And all sterling as well. Nice buy.
