A ducat struck in Frankfurt am Main in 1796 while the city was occupied by french troops. An interesting and historical coin from the napoleonic era.
This is my oldest dated gold coin - a Goldgulden from the city of Nürnberg bearing the date 1507.
Sorry, late again with the year sequence, but here is my (only) 1838. Eduard
Here is one I think Greg will like: 1 Mark 1894 G (Kalrsruhe mint) A scarce issue in good condition.
Oh, and I forgot to say, I have observed all kinds of damage on TPG graded coins (Not 'Details' graded) - dings, scratches etc. I am sure you all...
No difference whatsoever - I like my coins raw, but I am curious.
Let us take this 1828 Capped Bust Dime with large date as an example. It has some rim damage (minor, but still there) at 1 o'clock on the...
Very nice collection of busts of the 'Libertador de la America Espanola'. A great man without a doubt (Interestingly, sometime he is shown with...

Talk about crudely struck coins: these are a 1 and 2 reales struck for the colony of Valdivia in Chile in 1822. There was an acute shortage of...
Beautiful Coins, all of them. Congratulations!
It looks like a denarius of emperor Vespasian with the God Mars on the reverse.

If you are really serious about 'world' coins (i.e the 95 % of the world which lies outside of the U.S), then you really need to get a countries...
Thank you, Cazkaboom! Here is one which I searched for for a while: Clodius Albinus - The african Emperor. Albinus reigned only for a year or...
