[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 7937704, member: 25270"]I kind of splurged recently to get some nicer coins that my collection lacked. I don't buy online much anymore but sometimes when you want a certain coin there's no other options. This New Zealand 1 penny token someone else posted on another thread and when I saw it I knew I had to have one. It doesn't have a date but is probably from the 1860s-1880s. New Zealand didn't mint regular coins until 1933. I just love the designs here and the detail. I have a weakness for large bronze/copper coins as it is. Secondly, I always wanted a coin from German New Guinea. The 1 pfennig isn't really that interesting as a coin, and starting at the 10 pfennig and going up there is a much more interesting design with a bird of paradise. But I have to be reasonable with my expenses and I wanted to at least have something from this colony. This coin has probably been cleaned, but as I said, I have to be reasonable on price. I purchased some other coins too but these are the only ones to arrive so far. [ATTACH=full]1373366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1373367[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
