    Is that some sort of rare die variety or does she have a mustache on all of them?

    Mexico 2005 100 Pesos
    It is listed as a Don Quixote commemorative but it has a Halloween feel to it.

    Here are some pieces I picked up today. I'm still trying to ID the bottom two but the top one is a jital issued under Tay al-Din Yildiz of the Ghurid Dynasty. 1206-1215 AD Kurraman Mint, Tye 200.

    While not a world coin it does have a German connection.

    Wonderful. Was unfamiliar with the type. Very whimsical.

    Just acquired this morning, in a swap with @nencoin (Northeast Numismatics.)

    I've wanted a Niobe medal since I first saw one. Fell in love with the design: the wonderful schooner and that ghostly, solemn cross hovering in the mist above the waves.

    I had browsed around and bookmarked a few. All the ones I had seen were in silver. This one is gold, and PCGS-graded Specimen-66, to boot! I didn't even know the gold ones existed until recently.

    Germany (Weimar Republic): gold specimen striking of a medal honoring the victims of the sunken schooner Niobe, 1932

    PCGS SP66. Population 1 with 1 higher as of 10/15/2019. Schlumberger-123 Au, gold, 22 mm, 6.45 g.

    Some new pickups for my modern Hungarian patterns set:

    Hungary 1992BP Proof Pattern set
    Top row from left to right

    1 forint (smooth edge)
    2 forint
    5 forint
    10 forint
    Bottom row from left to right
    20 forint
    50 forint
    100 forint

    There is a reeded edge version of the 1 forint proof pattern as well, but it was not present in this set when I bought it, making that the last missing pattern I need from this set, as I have the full business strike pattern set already. Each pattern had a mintage of 50 pieces, out of which at least 4 pieces of each type were retained as specimens for the Hungarian national collection.

    Hungary 1996BP 100 Forint Proof Pattern

    The 100 forint coin released in 1992 was unpopular, and a new bi-metallic version was released in 1996 alongside it. The old version was discontinued after 1998.

    As with the above, I already had the business strike version of this pattern, but the proof version is much harder to find.

    Germany-Prussia 1871 20 Mark
    I don't buy much gold because usually, the price is more than I want to spend. This piece fits into my German States collection and I got it for just a little over spot so I felt like it was a win.

    Someday I'm getting one of these. Up to this point I could only afford those silver 5 Marks. Part of my family history (mother's side) comes from that part of Europe. ;)

    Thought I'd share a fairly recent acquisition of mine. I'm trying to put together a few PL world coins and was stoked to pick this guy up :)

    Pleased with this farthing from 1860 - this one has beaded (as opposed to toothed) borders on both sides - the earliest design of bronze farthings:
