    Someone please educate me on what "german states" is?
    I wish that I had something pre-Nazi Germany.

    I think most "German States" coins are pre-WWI, especially pre-1870-unification. There were even more states before Napolean came along. Supposedly, there were about 1500 states and perhaps 500+ issued coins.

    Stork I deliver

    I always worried about that dude at the anvil. Just the way he is standing makes me...concerned.

    Standing nudes I've got tons of!

    I don't speak from experience, but yeah, I can't say I recommend nude blacksmithing. You never know where those sparks are gonna end up. And make sure you don't have any anatomical parts draped over the anvil. And that you aim those hammer blows very carefully!

    I also do not especially recommend nude bacon-frying. On that issue I can speak with some experience.

    Standing nudes, continued.

    Last theme seems to have fizzled. Activate the 24-hour rule. Reset w/ new theme.

    New theme: mountains, or sunbursts (or both).

    Had this one in my Eclectic Box collection back when it was still the "Eclectic Box of 20". I sold a lot of nice stuff over the past several years to stay under the 20-coin limit (which I finally abandoned in mid-2017).

    This coin was one of those - I sold it to @Stork a few years ago - but she was doing some "spring cleaning" and so I just happily bought it back. :)

    Now if I could just do that with some of the other stuff I sold during my "Box of 20" era ...

    Guatemala: silver quarter-real, 1898; volcanoes with sunburst

    (PCGS MS66, population 2 with 2 higher as of 3/30/2018)


    I've seen pictures of the other MS66 and this one has nicer toning. There are two MS67 examples out there.
