New Additions To My Collection

Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Back in Dec. 2018 I started a thread
about my collection, Early Dated European Coins. I have no photographic
equipment except my phone. So Todd at BluCC images my coins and does
a wonderful job. The coins I am going to show here are new to my collection
for the past year or so. I hope you enjoy them and please ask any questions.

I know, its ugly, but it was dirt cheap. It is a
Stuiver from the Dordrecht mint.

 

This is a Patard from the Namur mint. Yes, you guessed correctly,
it is a candidate for an upgrade.

 

One of my favorites. This is a Goldgulden.
Swabia mint.

 

A Zingroschen minted in Schneeberg. This one does
not have a star mintmark.

 

A Goldgulden from the Nordlingen mint.

 

Cool coins @tibor ! It's neat they all have the year on them as well, these predate my oldest coin with the year on them by half a century.

 

Beautiful coins, Tibor. Very impressive!

 

Very nice Tibor!

 

Very nice coins

 

What they all said. Great coins indeed, and the photographer did a good job too. One brief comment regarding the Brandenburg Goldgulden: Some may be confused as Brandenburg today is the state "around" Berlin. Back then Brandenburg, and then Prussia, had some territories ("Brandenburg-Bayreuth" and "Brandenburg-Ansbach") in what today is northern Bavaria. And while "Swabia" is a region in southern Germany (BW and BY), the mint where that coin was made was in Schwabach, a city near Nürnberg/Nuremberg ...

I believe that this piece was struck in copper or billon.
I'm not really sure why copper coinage is so rare from this
period in time. Any thoughts?

 

This is a Scherf from the Erfurt mint. These are relatively rare and at
times bring multiples of high estimate.

 

This Toison D'Argent was minted in Antwerp.

 

This Half Albus is relatively scarce, the first I've encountered
in 15+ years.

 

Most of these coins I won at auction. A few of them I bought
from the dealers listed with @ma-shops .

 

More amazing coins! Outstanding collection, Tibor.

 

@HoledandCreative Thank you for the kind words. This Spring
auction season has been relatively good. The next few weeks will
prove to be even better. Several nice pieces coming up. Hopefully
I can pick up a few nice ones. Working within a budget can really
test a person. I wish I could attend some of these auctions and
ask the auction house to re-arrange the order in which they call
the lots. The best and usually pricey lots first then the others. Oh
well. Today is Mothers Day, my wife and I will have my mother and
brother over for a meal. I might be a little late posting.

 

I hope win all you want in the auctions. Have a great day!

 

tibor. An enlightening and creative collection. I really like the goldgulden from the Swabia mint.
