    Been branching out somewhat lately. My UK and Commonwealth collections have been stale for some time and I've now found myself picking up whatever I find visually appealing - and, of course, at a low enough price.

    Here's a few new pickups. Nothing very special, but I liked the looks and loved the prices:

    1960 Denmark 5 Kroner -

    1938 Colombia 10 Centavos -

    Have a few more I've yet to photograph, but will update as soon as I do.

    This Canadian New Brunswick double dime not mine.
    It's on the bay now with a little over 4 hours left.
    It's at $148.00 now .....I'm thinking it may hit below a grand. s-l400-11.jpg s-l400-18.jpg

    I just won this. So sellers photos. So excited for it, One of he nicest proofs I've seen. Usually they have carbon spots, fingerprints or the coloring is really uneven. But this one is a beaut. I sure think it should be higher than a 65. s-l1600.jpg s-l1600-1.jpg

    Here are a pair of new pickups for my Hungarian set:

    A matched pair of uniface die trials
    Hungary 10 Krajczár 1870GYF
    KM-451.2
    Tin (normally a silver issue)
    Obverse Trial 1.02g 18mm
    Reverse Trial 0.79g 18mm

    Paper and glue remnants on the reverses are evident; left over from their time in the mint archive book at the Gyulafehérvár (Karlsburg) mint.

    q2130031.jpg
    This pair of die trials is possibly unique. I have found no reference to them in any standard catalog, including the Adamovszky catalog, which is the definitive source (including patterns, proofs, off-metal strikes, and trials) for information on Hungarian coins of this period.

    I picked this 8 Reales up a few days ago but just got around to taking a picture today. It is a Spanish 8 Reales minted in Mexico City in 1820 featuring Ferdinand VII on the obverse.

    Thank you RTScott1978. They look really nice in hand although the Malta piece is cleaned.

    You're very welcome. Must have been a very old cleaning, it looks like it has retoned nicely.

    May I ask the grade on the riksdaler? I've actually never seen that particular type until your post.
