Yet another guilder arrived in the mail. Dutch Republic, province of Holland, one guilder/gulden 1748.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Isn't it? I wonder how so many late third century coins have stayed this nice for so long compared to earlier ones. Is it the silver content? And...
This Probus arrived today. A nice example of one of those elaborate portraits of Probus in full fighting gear was on my to-acquire list for some...
A new guilder arrived for me to pinch. Dutch Republic, province of Utrecht, 1 gulden/guilder 1786. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm not that into modern coins, but I actually like the extremely stylized portrait on this coin. For anyone familiar with Beatrix and her highly...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Next is a 25 cent coin of Willem I. This one was minted at the Brussels mint, while present day Belgium was still part of the...
Next up is a 5 cent coin of Willem I. Once again, 1827 Utrecht mint is the most common date. Nothing much to add that hasn't been addressed...

Cracking cracks everyone! Now let me have a.. crack at it. Dutch republic, province of Holland, 2 stuivers 1725. Now if you'll excuse me, the pun...
My setup is quite primitive actually. I would have preferred to photograph vertically, but as I'm limited by the tripod I made a cardboard stand...
I mainly pinch guilders, so my ancient collection is tiny and nothing super exceptional. My favourite of my dozen or so coins is no doubt this...
Not nearly as big as the previous one, but it's my biggest coin at the moment at 40-41 mm: Dutch republic, province of Utrecht, 3 guilders 1786....
Here's one I haven't shown before. It's not my best 18th-century coin in terms of grade, but when the light hits it just right the golden toning...
The details on these are really nice. Even tiny little Saint George hanging from the order of the garter looks good: [ATTACH]
