Trey, am I confusing you for a different Trey who was mostly a bullion stacker not too long ago?

 

also an 1885 proof. Colors are gorgeous. Cant really tell from the pictures, but there is a lot of neon green and blue on this coin.

 

Give me 5 more minutes and I will show you my newest 'bullion' acquisitions. IM still editing the pictures on my phone, but I think i did well today..........

 

Ok guys so here's my newest acquisitions. All of the following coins were pulled out of the foreign junk silver bin today and the price I paid was 2% under spot or somewhere close to that.







I'm going to post a front and back to each coin with 2 different coins per post.

 

This last coin is my favorite. I was putting everything back in the bags and ran across this after I put all the large stuff up first.

When I picked this piece up I knew I wanted it so I handed it to the clerk for weighing and since it was so small this ended up being a freebie!




My guess is that this is a 1742 Dos Reales. I'm guessing simply because I have no idea what the denomination would be, but it does have a 'D' before the usual 'R' that denotes 'Reale', so I figured it would be 'Dos Reales'.

Edited to add that this coin is a Single Reale, not Dos. The Dos Reales are marked 2R, whereas mine is just R, so after checking ebay its just a Reale


How did i do?

Oh and Greg, is that better? I know its not really a stack of 'bullion' but it was bought as junk prices, although i find all of these new acquisitions beautiful and somewhat collectible to the right indiviual. I did cherry the lot for the nicer looking coins

 

Wow Trey, spectacular!

 

I love these!!!!

 

Very nice Dex. Are these smaller denoms more rare than like the 8s?

I really like those old Spanish Reales myself, beautiful coins!

 

Gem Cranberry Red too!

 

Doers anybody know what this coin is, I didnt particularly want it at first, the Pentagram kind of threw me off, but the toning was nice and i got it anyway?

Anybody have some info? Is it a devil worshiping coin? (J/K)

Says 100 FRANCS, but the rest of the coin is not legible to me

100 Francs from Morocco:

Very similar to mine.

 

Golly gee and I always thought this thread was in the US coin forums:yes:

 

Picked up on ebay last week. I wanted a nice Columbian Exposition Half, but all the ones I saw were either very worn or were dipped to blast white. This guy had some splotchy toning and I think that makes the details pop a little bit more and gives the coin some character. I'd say AU-55 or better.
