Just got this 1908-P Half Sov slabbed UNC Details - planchet flaw, I figured they wouldn't grade it because of the flan flaw but it's such a rare coin that in 21 years of collecting half sovereigns, this is the only mint state piece I've ever encountered.

 

Damn

 

Slovenia 1991 0.10 Lipe BEE. an upgrade to the 1 I have already have. not in my 2016 Krause catalog, but in my 2002 Krause catalog. mintage 5,000 metal-brass, these are very scarce. sellers pics...




for the "coins with insects" collection. I have the 20 Lipe Bee coin but no pictures. mintage also only 5,000. time to buy these is when you see them on Ebay because these never come up. pounced on it when it came up. lol

 

Just got this one the other day. Brazil 20 Reis(ca.1818)-struck on a brazil 20 Reis 1753. Its a really big heavy coin. Too bad they didn't strike the reverse at the same time, instead of flattening out the reverse. Having fun collecting here...

 

That would actually be a 40 Reis, KM# 280.1 ND(1809). By counter-striking the 1753 20 Reis they increased the value. Most counter-struck coins will show flattening on the opposite side.

 

Stopped by the Grapevine coin show this morning. Small crowd today. Picked up a couple of coins for the Pre-62 Cuba and U.S. Philippines type sets. Also got a bargain on a 1/10th oz. AGE for my son's upcoming birthday.

1961 Cuba 1 Centavo, CN, Mintage 100,000,000



1935 Philippines 10 Centavos, 0.7500 Silver, Mintage 1,280,000

 

Great day at the coin show today, I found a lot of treasures in the random world coin boxes. But my favorite buy from today has to be this beautiful Italian coin I didn't know existed until I saw it It's a one year only design and I love it!


Another seller had a nice set of AU-BU Italian coins from the 20's in their junk box.

Also I had to rescue these proofs from another one

And then a group of random coins I picked up through the day. I found a lot of really nice coins and I am super happy with today.

 

Wow!...lots of cool coins!!!!!!!

 

I love junk boxes.

 

Those are some great JB finds, congrats.

 

Looks like you had a fun day! Nice coins.

 

Nice pickups. There are a lot of nice Italian coins out there. You buy the same stuff I do.

 

Krause 2002 KM=Tn-8 Slovenia 1991, 20 Lipe, Metal-Copper-Nickel(looks like brass to me), mintage-5,000 ...very scarce! in 18 years of coin collecting I have never seen another 1 like this 1.




Democratic Republic of Congo KM#163, 2003, 10 Francs, Acrylic, size 49.9 mm




Slovakia KM#56 , 2001, 500 Korun, .925 silver, mintage- 10,200 this is the coin that got me all charged up to collect "coins with insects" I have given this coin the nickname "beetle cross". the design amazes me still.

 

Love that design, I have it in the 2 Lira version.

 

Just a couple of medals I picked up

 

I went a little crazy on the silver animal coins recently. New additions:

 

Second group. Also one here from Uruguay that is not a bullion coin, though it is silver.

 

So, you are "buggy" for these types of coins!!
