US--1941 Lincoln cent proof

 

1941 Italy

 

1940 Vatican Set

 

But again, the superior grades i can find only on ebay or locally at high prices. Meanwhile, i buy from local trader circulated items lower grade but well meets my needs and my pocket . Design is my obssession not mint state. As long as the theme is intact is a go for me.

 

1940 is a big year for me too--can anyone tell I collect Japan? We are creeping into my other modern favorite, Albania finally too.

Japan--Showa 15
There were two types of 5 sen coins produced--first in aluminum-bronze, then transitioned to aluminum.

and aluminum (I posted one earlier but this one is much nicer):

Collect what you like and can afford. A lot of people on here are focused on only the highest grades, but if you don't need that then go after what you like. I have thousands of circulated coins that meet my needs perfectly.

 

Canada 1940

 

Bless you. You raised my spirits

 

US--1940 Liberty Walking Half proof. You guessed it; I love proof coins

 

2 Francs 1940 from the 3rd French Republic. I mostly collect French coins, if you couldn't tell from my other posts .

 

Same here. Uncirculated coins make up maybe 5% of my collection. I think I only have about 10 slabbed coins total, which would be only about 0.1%.

 

1940 USA proof set:

Remember these photo certs from the original ANACS?


Here is a 1940 Mexican 5 centavos:

 

More 1940 US

 

I have quite a few French coins myself. Love em....the next coin I have lined up to play is the same as your but its 1938.

 

I wonder if anyone has the 1935 version though, only 298,000 were minted.

 

If someone does, let's hope they post it when we get there...hint hint.

 

It's been about 12 hours, maybe it's time to go back a year.
