Some goodies came today. A 1765 Java 1 rupee and a pair of copper dump stuivers from Colombo.

 

Just in. French Indo China. Bronze De Nickel

 

Nice! The French have some mighty nice specimens & the obverse on this one is interesting....is that an anchor?

 

That is an anchor. This one is a later one year issue with this design struck with copper nickel. I have a few earlier French Indo China silver coins with the same design and Marianne's face is worn a bit. This is a really nice coin in hand. I need to work on my photos.

 

At first I didn't notice the anchor stock & thought she had a devils tail!

 

This just came today, a present from our new moderator Lord Marcovan! It is labeled as "Ancient India (Amirs of Sindh): bronze or copper coin Circa 870-1030.
Struck in a region that is now part of modern Pakistan". Tiny little rascal, about 6mm D and 0.0 grams. My scale is too coarse to weigh such a light object I guess.

 

Nothing particularly special but this arrived as an upgrade this morning:

1837 William IV Farthing

 

I like it, especially the reverse.

 

Busy photographing my Half Crowns and came across this one. Not strictly a "New Acquisition" but it is a long time since I have had it out and is much more what I want for my William IV collection:

 

Nice! By the pic, looks like it weighs a kilo .

 

Wow, that detail is incredible! Nice specimen!

 

This arrived today. Had a difficult time getting good shots. it has a very nice dark tone with spots of luster showing through. This is another that I would not typically purchase but found it while browsing looking for some Asian coins.

 

Those are cool. I'm Dutch so anything related to the VOC is interesting.

 

This one also came yesterday, I liked it mainly because of the elk, or red deer?

 

Going to be on the lookout for one of those rupees. Cool coin.

 

Here are two interesting German notgeld coins I picked up. I like the boar hunt one especially.

 

Picked these up last night at my local coin club auction. I was one of the very few that bid on the World coins. I had been wanting one of the Turks & Caicos 20 Crowns for a long time and got this one at a great price. A large 45mm diameter and 1.1509 ASW. Nice toning on the reverse. A little black on the edges from being in the mint package. The Silver Figi Florin, I picked up only because no one else bid on it. It goes in the World Silver collection.

Turks and Caicos 1976 20 Crown, mintage 25,000


Figi 1943 Florin, mintage 250,000

 

1973 Canada QEII Specimen Dollar SP67. I thought it wasn't too shabby
