New Additions To My Collection

A Kreuzer minted in Graz. Many of the Austrian pieces
are very poorly struck.

A rare Weisspfennig minted in Bonn.

 

This weisspfennig is from Riehl.

 

A Weisspfennig from Bacharach. With this piece I now have
all three coins listed by Levinson in his 1st ed.

 

A weisspfennig from Bingen.

 

A weisspfennig from Bingen.

 

I believe this to be an unlisted piece in Levinson's
book,1st ed. The shielded side reads as follows:
THEOD ARCPI COLON There is a piece listed for
1444 like this , but not for 1445.

 

A Groschen minted in Schoonvorst. While this piece a little rough,
Levinson lists it as an R2, less than 20 pieces collectable.

 

I will post the last few Sunday evening, time permitting.
Thank you for looking at my collection. I enjoy it immensely.
I just wish I could have it home instead of at the bank.

 

Great coins and they just keep coming. You have the best pictures, Tibor. We all wish we could keep our coins at home instead of a bank. My pictures are way worse than amateurish.

When I first glanced at your I-76A, I saw XLIV. That L gets me about every time.

 

And thank you, tibor (I think that is a typical Hungarian name, no?) for posting your
medieval coins.
I have to agree regarding keeping coin collections at the bank - I do the same thing. I am only 'allowed' (wife) to bring only a few home at a time to take pictures of.

 

This weissgroschen was minted in Bacharach. It is
an up-grade candidate.

 

This Goldgulden was minted in Bacharach. Some of the easiest to obtain
early dated gold coins can be found 1436-1438. There are a few rare varieties
and a couple of just rare pieces. I add them when I can.

 

Per Levinson ed.1 there are only two known. I would bet that the
other piece resides with Bob. This piece was minted in Bingen.

 

The top piece is my most recent purchase. It was a bargain compared
to the first one I bought. Eventually I plan on displaying some of
my collection.
Well that's all for now, but the good Lord willing I will add a few more.
Thanks for looking, asking questions and taking time to hit the
" Like" button. Hopefully all of you will post your treasures, I would
enjoy seeing them.

 

Very nice, we appreciate your sharing your collection. What average value to the gold one? PM if you want.

 

@tibor Will you get these coins slabbed one day or prefer them raw?

 

I've got 3 or 4 pieces that are TPG, bought them from Heritage
auction company 2013. Collectors of Medieval and Ancient coins
usually prefer them out of plastic. I will most likely sell to 2-3
dealers. They can make the choice of TPG or not. I would highly
recommend TPG for coins Ancient and Medieval coins valued over
$100. The proof of authenticity then is borne by the TPG and
the auction company. If you question the authenticity of the
coin leave it in the plastic. Once you "cracked" it out the warranty
is null and void. For Ancient TPG I would HIGHLY recommend
NGC. David L. Vagi heads up the team there and his expertise
is second to none.

 

@tibor thanks for the response! I'm all for slabbed coins and definitely for ancients or medieval coins worth over $100!!!
