    I really like those holed "Lindauer" coins and have been tempted to start a collection of them for all countries. Not sure how many that would be!

    This 1847 Liberian proof cent is not my newest acquisition, but perhaps the second-newest.

    Just got the news from PCGS. I had acquired it in an NGC PR64 BN holder, and had the previous owner send it directly to a friend of mine so I could piggyback on his PCGS submission. My friend cracked it out and sent it in and it is now PCGS PR65 BN, making it, I believe, the highest graded at either service, and (rather surprisingly) it is pop. 1 in all grades at PCGS. Looking at auction records on the PCGS cert page, it seems I did very, very well on this one when I acquired it in a swap on the CU forums (for some nice raw US Seated Liberty coins).

    I have yet to see it in hand. Can't wait.

    Austria KM-2820
    1913 Corona Proof
    Silver 0.835 5g 23mm

    Very scarce original proof of the second year of type KM-2820 (1912-1916).

    I just returned from some work travels and these two Ausrtia-Hungary Empire coins were waiting for me upon my return. Both were purchased reliant on sellers photos. Attached are my photos.

    I was pleasantly surprised how nice and lightly toned the 1907 5 Korona Coronation commemorative was.

    I was not as excited to see the 1879 2 Guilden 25th wedding anniversary commemorative to have a lot of hairlines and likely cleaned. Photos did not show this and no comment of it. Frustrating as I had been searching for a nice one for quite a while...still looking now I suppose.

    These Danzig coins have a pretty cool design. Not worth much but I like them.

    Got this in a group lot at an estate auction. Have been trying to branch into ancient/world coins recently.

    Agreed. I'd love to put together a full set of French coins from the 19th and 20th century at some point, as the quality of the art is top-notch.
