    I got one of the Germania ones. Did yours have abrasion?

    If you are referring to the slash like marks, that is part of the design. Kind of weird, but it has to do with the history of the Germainia Mint. I sent them a message asking about the reasoning behind it. I'll post a reply as soon as I get it. Their site indicates that the 25,000 mintage is sold out.

    I don't think I'm taking about the slash marks. Mine and the few other I've seen has abrasion going down her dress.

    I had this one given to me by a grateful customer - 1908 Penny in pretty good shape. Just makes it into my collection as an upgrade:

    I just got this coin, an 1808 5 Lire of the Kingdom of Italy, featuring Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone di Buonaparte) moonlighting as the King of Italy:

    Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your message. We are glad that you like our coin.
    We are aware that each element of the coin is equally important for the visual effect. That is why we pay the same attention to the main motifs as well as the details of the coin, which are not visible at first glance. We simply care about the smallest details, so that our products are of the highest quality and as unique as possible. The markings you have mentioned are obtained in a 3D design process, inspired by a surface in the natural environment.

    Offer accepted. I pulled the trigger on this one mere moments ago.

    PCGS MS65 RB. Population 1, none higher.

    A common coin in uncommonly nice grade with superb eye appeal. Not too expensive. My kinda thing, nowadays.

    Love that DCAM frost. I wish Tanzania had produced proof coinage in 1972, since that's the year I lived there.

    I used to get one of these FAO-issue 5-shilingi pieces every week for my allowance. I was 6-7 years old when we lived there. As I recall, I could buy a model airplane kit with one.

    This one is uncommonly nice, considering I plucked it from a bulk bag. Though it's technically a $3.00 coin, I might send it off in my next PCGS submission. Looks MS63-ish on a good day, I predict, or MS62 if the grading gods do not smile upon it.

    Here is another newp from today yesterday. I already posted it in the US Coins "latest acquisition" thread, but since the US is part of the world, and we're on the World Coins newp thread, I can't resist reposting it.

    It may or may not be the first Type 2 gold dollar I've owned. I can't remember. The 1854-56 Type 2 "Indian Princess" is the toughest US gold dollar type.

    Per PCGS CoinFacts:
    This one looks nicer and more lustrous in hand (I saw it when I visited @Aethelred last month). These are temporary photos. You've gotta love those slanted 5's, which were an idiosyncrasy of engraver Christian Gobrecht's work.

    Hey, I once found a 1782-A Cayenne 2-sous piece like that with my metal detector here! It was on a very old plantation site. A 1782 Irish Hibernia halfpenny came up an arm's length from the Cayenne coin. I dug a 1779 Mexico City 2-reales piece a few hundred yards further away from the first two. It was a very exciting place to hunt. A friend found some early large cents and King George coppers there.
