A couple Elvis coins came yesterday

 

Bought at the coin show today.

 

Some new acquisitions from a recent auction:

Hungary 1883KB Krajczár (1883)
Pattern KM-TS29 in Nickel
NGC MS65


Hungary 1886KB Copper Krajczár (1878-1888) KM-458
NGC MS65 BN


1896KB AR Korona (1892-1906) KM-484
NGC MS63

This one is top pop and a tough date for the KM-484 type since they struck the commemorative type this year as well. The best I had found previously was an MS62.


Hungary 1916KB Iron 2 Fillér
NGC AU58

An interesting coin. The dies are from the 2 fillér KM-481 type (1892-1915). A couple years had iron patterns for this type, this one is from the year after the type ceased being produced. It may be a trial for the successive 2 fillér war issue in iron that used a 1916 obverse from the new type (identical dies except for the date) and the reverse from the previous type, making it a die trial mule? This makes more sense since the KM-481 type had no 1916 obverse dies produced for business strikes.

Pattern KM-TS51 (maybe TS52?) I don't have Krause in front of me - if anyone can look this up and verify that would be helpful.



Hungary 1920KB Iron 10 Fillér (1920) KM-496
NGC MS65

A very high grade for an emergency issue. A little nicer than my MS64.

 

Isle of Man half crown token 1811, KM#Tn13

 

Been wanting one of these for a long time and they are kind of harder to find. Finally picked one up. These are sellers pics. It seems like most of these are low MS for 1912. I'm guessing this one is a ms62, 63 if I'm lucky. I love that this coin can be specifically tied to yukon/klondike gold.

 

My first post to the World Coins forum, mostly a US coins guy but I picked up this German 5 mark piece from 1936 at a flea market for 7 bucks. I thought I would share has a hint of luster on the reverse in hand.

 

Score, you paid just a hair over melt. I have one just like that, slightly better condition, and I paid more than 3 times your $7...you done good!

 

Thanks! I know the D mint mark is for Munich. I like that it does not have the swastika on the reverse. From what I have read Hindenburg was beloved by the German people.

 

What grade if you were to guess just by these photos?

Obtained today for 25 bucks

 

VF30-35

 

au

 

A few coins showed up today

 

Thanks, that's interesting. It's not listed at all. Like TS51 but dated 1916 the year after the type ended.

 

I like these big hunks of copper. 1662 Sweden 2 Ore

 

This little big hunk of copper came 2 days ago. About 2 cm x 6.5 mm, 17.8 g. Labeled as being from Jaipur State, India and minted 1759-1806

 

I got this one yesterday.
If I get it graded do you think will pass AU?

 

Looks like it is in a plastic flip now. I am seeing about XF45, Maybe AU50, might look better with a clearer photo.
