A new one for the Cuba collection, and another for the foreign coins struck in US. This one was struck in Philadelphia.
Just back from the CSNS show in Chicago. This has to be my favorite purchase. 1624 German States Ottingen-Ottingen Thaler Obverse: Shield of arms with ornate helmet above, dog's head crest divides date Obverse Legend: * LUDWIG * EBERHARD * COMES * OTING * Reverse: Crowned imperial eagle Reverse Legend: FERDINANDVS • II • ROM • IMP • SE(M)(P) • AVG(VS) Ruler: Ludwig Eberhard Composition: Silver Weight: 29.4 g Diameter: 42.5 mm
Not really new but haven’t posted it. 1908 Yunnan 50 cents. One of a handful I got from an old collection that came into my LCS.
Did a little horse trading today. Sold 2 modern gold comemms, Statue of Liberty and Mt. Rushmore, held that cash for about 2 minutes because I wanted this
I love it. I saw some of these on MA Shops recently and before that I didn't know they existed. I don't think I've ever seen anyone share one on CoinTalk. Unfortunately even if I wanted to buy one MA Shops has many of the same problems as eBay when it comes to buying Cuban stuff.
The problem is you can't use any payment methods for something with Cuba in the name. If it's not in the name, no problem, but they're mostly from countries without the embargo and I don't want to ask them to do something that might be considered unethical or illegal.
