<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 406834, member: 8566&quot;]i mainly collect Iceland and today i picked up a few more for the collection.&nbsp; the first was the the 2 Kronur 1930 medal.&nbsp; these are not as rare as the 5 and 10 Kronur - they had mintages of 10,101 each where this had&nbsp; 20,101. it&#039;s in VF condition with a few green PVC spots, but since these are so hardly seen, i had to buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://asciibaron.dyndns.org/images/coin/Iceland_1930_2_Kronur_Medal_obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://asciibaron.dyndns.org/images/coin/Iceland_1930_2_Kronur_Medal_reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>another find was a BU 1933 10 Aurar - a very nice example of this coin that is very clean and well struck.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://asciibaron.dyndns.org/images/coin/Iceland_1933_10_Aurar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>and finally last month i picked up a very BU 1929 10 Aurar - this coin just jumped out at me when i was digging through the box.&nbsp; i almost passed on looking through the box since i was tired and had already dug through several of dealer&#039;s boxes of low grade Republic era coins.&nbsp; a valuable lesson learned.</p><p><br /></p><p>finding high grade Icelandic coins is tough, but it&#039;s very exciting to find a gem and well worth the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
