<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 26398831, member: 25270&quot;]Here are some interesting new copper and bronze coins/tokens that I added last week. </p><p><br /></p><p>1744 Austrian Netherlands liard. I have this coin from the 1770s but not this old before now. This design is a bit different I think. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684262[/ATTACH] </p><p>1754 Netherlands East Indies duit. You down with VOC? Yeah, you know me! I love things related to exploration and colonization so I always like these even if there isn&#039;t a high value. This one is in pretty good condition compared to others I have.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684263[/ATTACH] </p><p>1812 Westphalia 5 centesimi. This was from an area ruled by one of Napoleon&#039;s many brothers, and I think anything Napoleon related is neat. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684264[/ATTACH] </p><p>1844 Montreal half penny token. This one isn&#039;t rare but is in good condition, and I have a soft spot for tokens like this. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684265[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1852 Quebec half penny/un sou bank token. Surprisingly I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve seen this one before but the design is more intricate than most of these. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684266[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently this is a Masonic 1 penny token. I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s actually from 1858 or what these were used for. I need to look into this sometime. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684267[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1888 Russia 1 kopek. This one is just in really good shape. It has a luster which doesn&#039;t show up in the scan. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684268[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1898 Muscat and Oman 1/4 anna token. Obscure and unusual, which checks a few of my boxes. [ATTACH=full]1684269[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1933 Chicago World&#039;s Fair token. This is a big token and I live near Chicago, so I like it. If you&#039;re wondering I believe that swastika was considered a good luck sign at the time.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684270[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I was really excited about this one at first. Apparently this was made during the America Revolution by the British and distributed in the Netherlands to discourage the Dutch from aiding the Americans in the revolution. It depicts a British attack on Rhode Island and the Americans fleeing. Unfortunately I determined this is a restrike that was made in 1936 for a coin dealer out east. The giveaway is the initials HMG underneath the ship. It&#039;s still cool though but much less valuable. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684271[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
