Good for him.
Here's my first tip for you: 1. Don't take any photography tips from me. :p Here's my second tip for you: 2. Why don't you talk to the other...
Wow! Gorgeous medal, neat original case, and provenance, too! What a fantastic piece.
... but a concentration camp piece would likely have the letters "KL" for konzentrationslager, I would expect. And it does not have a monetary...
So we're agreed, then. WW2 (-ish) era German seems very plausible to me. The font and especially the zinc.
I have no clue. I get a 1900-1940s vibe from the style of it, and the logo, but that's all. The logo is distinctive enough that if you did...
Indeed it does! That little Parthian is something! Down to the detail on his trousers! (I forget what those were called, but I remember seeing...
Cool find! You cherrypicked yourself! I've done that a time or two. I have no information beyond what you yourself just provided.
That's the most facial detail I can recall seeing on Mars on one of these. Quite the physique, too. He'd look very masculine if he weren't so...

PS- you could pop it in your mouth for a taste test, perhaps? :yack:;)
I would rather not speculate on the question posed in the title. It is fun to imagine where coins in our collections might have been, but just as...
PS- I suppose these will (or already have) made their way into the Krause "Unusual World Coins" catalog, as such private issues or "micronation"...
Interesting. I was unfamiliar with the region, and these pieces, but the "jumping trout and sunburst" motif is indeed quite lovely.
Thank you! I was too lazy to squint-the-squigglies and do the headscratching. I would have come up with it eventually, but for me, it would've...
Glad to hear David Connors is back. He and his inventory are a boon to the "budget" collector of ancients and older World coins.
Maybe you don't have the thrill of finding buried treasure (I can tell you from firsthand experience - that's a real rush), but you get the thrill...
Russia, 1 kopeck. St. Petersburg mint.
Fun to see one in any condition. Obviously, I've never owned one.
Anytime you want to look up a Krause listing, type your country, date, and denomination. Add "NGC price" after those keywords. Search. You...
