    This Groschen was minted in Bacharach. The planchet is a
    little wavy, the centers are weak, but the date is nice and
    clear. Since the date is so nice, I can only say "Winner,
    winner, chicken dinner".

    This piece was minted in Riehl. The reference number does not need
    the "a". Another nice clear date, I'm on a run.

    Today's haul, came in two packets. The Sasanian AR drachms, I think I will stop buying them. I have more than enough and they are all kind of the same. At times I wonder if some of those fellows over in India have a machine that churns them out. 225-650 Sasanian obv (6)-horz.jpg 225-650 Sasanian obv (7)-horz.jpg 1989 NL-SR 100 c obv-horz.jpg 1996 CY 2 c obv-horz.jpg

    Most recent pick up for the set and a big upgrade at that! This thing has blinding luster which is tough to find on the older pieces. 1930-1937.

    Here's my old piece for reference :D

    I have an Irish half crown on the way, with a horse on it. Bad luck to post a pic.

    Not a personal new acquisition, but Northeast purchased this 1871 Gold Sovereign S-3856. It's in a PCGS PR65+ DCAM holder. [​IMG]

    VictoriaCrown.jpg Common as dirt, but I could not resist the beauty of the surfaces. Many examples in higher grades do not even close to having the eye appeal of this one, imho.

    After seeing @lordmarcovan example of this coin, I liked this design, and while perusing the interwebs for something else, ran across this example that I ended up winning. Love the look of this coin and subtle blue toning. I think with this coin, my mexican revolution provisional centavo, Gerona Duro, and some other pieces of the sorts, I might put together a coin set called "Tumultuous Times" with provisional government coinage and emergency issue pieces, etc.

    It's been a while since I filled a hole in my classic Hungarian type set (1848-1945), but I just picked up an elusive earlier type today.

    Hungary (Transylvania) 1851E 1 Kreuzer
    Copper 5.4g, 22.5mm x 1.75mm
    Mintage: Unknown
    NGC MS62 BN

    kreuzer.jpg

    This scarce one-year large kreuzer type was struck in Hungary at the Transylvanian mint during the Austrian occupation of 1849-1867. During this coining period, Hungarian mints functioned as Austrian branch mints, atypically minting Austrian types, and mirroring the Austrian coinage decimalization changes in 1857. This makes for a rather complicated set of coinage, as these coins are technically Austrian, but are considered to be Hungarian (and in this case also Transylvanian) in Hungarian numismatics.

    This Goldgulden was minted in Bacharach. Surprisingly, the
    first dated gold coins are some of the reasonably available
    of dated gold coins. The date range for the earliest coins runs
    from 1436-38. There are 21 different coins including varieties
    and countermarks. About half of that number are possible to
    collect. The others have less than 3 collectable opportunities.

    This Weisspfennig was minted in Bingen. These Weisspfennig
    are some of my favorite Early Dated coins. Several rare pieces
    scattered among the available pieces.

    1450 - koln - 3 copy.jpg
    This Weisspfennig was minted in Bonn. I believe
    that 1450 is the last date for this type of Weiss-
    pfennig depicting St. Peter. This particular piece,
    I-89, has only six collectable pieces.
