<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 26532183, member: 25270&quot;]With silver at $50 an ounce I really try to only buy small silver coins but sometimes you see something that just doesn&#039;t come along too often and you have to get it. There&#039;s a couple bigger ones in here but most weren&#039;t too bad, and they mostly have more numismatic value than silver anyway. Here&#039;s the silver highlights from my recent LCS visit:</p><p><br /></p><p>1711 Austria 3 kreuzer. This one was mislabeled as &quot;Augsburg&quot; when I bought it. I don&#039;t really specialize in coins this old but I like the detail in the portrait, and it&#039;s in good shape for its age. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691066[/ATTACH] </p><p>1748 Mexico half real. A mini, more affordable version of the famous pillar dollar.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691067[/ATTACH] </p><p>1858 Austria 1 vereinsthaler. I just love the way this one looks.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691068[/ATTACH] </p><p>1859 A Austria 1/4 florin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691069[/ATTACH] </p><p>1860 B Saxony-Albertine 1/3 thaler. German states are something that I don&#039;t actively seek out but usually buy them when I see them. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691070[/ATTACH] </p><p>1866 Mexico 1 peso. This is interesting because it&#039;s from the brief period when the French occupied Mexico. This was the most expensive single coin I purchased but I&#039;ve never seen one of these before. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691071[/ATTACH] </p><p>1888 (I think) Honduras 25 centavos. I like early coins from the Central American nations. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691072[/ATTACH] </p><p>1913 A Prussia 2 mark. This coin is in beautiful condition with luster that doesn&#039;t fully show up in the scan here. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691073[/ATTACH] </p><p>1914 D Germany 1 mark. Same as the above, it looks like it was made yesterday. These coins really pop in this condition. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691074[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
