Nice, and I like the Maximillian I too.

 

More like a cyclops than a zombie!

 

This one showed up an hour or so ago, 1905 half sovereign.

 

Here is another porcelain notgeld
5 Sachsen 1921
3.4g and 23.8 mm

 

Yesterday I ended up buying a collection off an old friend who is trying to get out of coins as he is unwell. Many interesting bits in there, here are a selected few:
Brazil 1799 20 Reis counter-stamped to re-issue as 40 Reis (I understand).


Sweden 1720 Half Ore

 

...And these two oddities:
Netherlands East Indies 2 Stuiver "Bonk" 1818


Unidentified possible coin weight? Any help appreciated. Weighs 2.86g and measures 15.4mm.

 

A pair of farthings arrived yesterday.

 

Had some ebay bucks to burn off and picked up this little french morsel.

A common coin but decent for the type and was free thanks to the bucks.

@Mat I have some green and reds on a BC Greek, Do you know how to remove it safely?

 

Nice Edward VII sovereign came this morning. Ebay does not give me any bucks because I live outside the US. Bummer, I spend a lot of money on there...

 

Nice gold CN

Nope. Usually that is patina and preferred to be kept on with ancients.

 

Stand by later tonight for a whole slew of gorgeous new finds.

 

Paid visits to three local coin shops today, including one I'd never been to. (They were super kind, and had a pile of toned coins set aside for me...plus I got to meet the store dog and cat.)

Picked up a TON of new coins, including some toned Canadian silver dollars that I just don't have the patience to image right now, some Canadian Silver Proof Sets including the 2012 with Gilded Silver Dollar, an interesting silver medal from Austria with text "Hochst Am Rhein" on the obverse and "Hoechst Vorarlberg 980-1980 1000 Jahre" on the reverse, some sterling proof 25 New Pence from 1977 (Gibraltar, Jersey, and Mauritius - which is 25 Rupees).​

(Note: I'll also be posting some of the US toners over in the Post a Toned Coin thread.)

Here are some of the highlights from today:

Austria - 1965 Proof 5 & 10 Schilling
(Came in a brown, leather-bound "Anniversary Proof Set Vienna University" that was missing the other two coins.)



Canada (Newfoundland) - 1941 C 5 Cents
(Circulated, but colorful!)



Curacao - 1944 D 1/4 Gulden



Great Britain - Richard Litchfeild "Worshipful Company of Founders" 1/2 Guinea Weight (1688-1712)



Mexico - 1939 50 Centavos



Netherlands - 1954 1 Gulden



South Africa - 1965 Proof 1 Rand



Vatican City - 1958 500 Lire
(Labeled/sold as 1978 500 Lire; I suppose my Roman numeral reading skills and Krause skills are a bit more accurate.)
