<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2306512, member: 29751&quot;]Here are a few highlights from my 2015 collecting year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Happy new year to all, Brandon</p><p><br /></p><p>==========================================</p><p><br /></p><p>In January 2015, I went to the FUN show in Orlando.&nbsp; I found a really nice example of the 1854 halfpenny Upper Canada provincial token in the case of John Kraljevich.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also bought another USA token from him as well, but this one is truly special.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/1854_UpperCanada_Halfpenny_NGC_MS65BN_composite_zpsff3b0f48.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In March, I was very excited to add an 1898 matte proof example of the L. Oscar Roty &quot;Semeuse&quot; (Sower) design to my small collection of the type.&nbsp; This was an eBay purchase, and I was delighted when it arrived.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/1898_France_1F_NGC_PF64MATTE_composite_zpsdwfkbkn7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In April, I purchased a very nice example of a Conder token from a Heritage Auction.&nbsp; I know, it&#039;s not a horse -- but it&#039;s one of my favorite Conder designs, and this one has some great luster and pristine surfaces, just like I like them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Conders/1796_Herfordshire_PennyToken_DH4_NGC_MS65BN_composite_zpsv7mza5yd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In July, I purchased this highly detailed Conder token in another Heritage Auction.&nbsp; I really love the detail of the church and tower.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Conders/1795_York-63_NGC_MS65RB_composite_zps2dsr9ida.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In mid-September, I found a very&nbsp; nice toned example of a German Mark -- in uber-high grade / preservation.&nbsp; Again, a Heritage Auction.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/1914J_Germany_Empire_1M_PCGS_MS68_myphotos_composite_zpset015ich.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In early November, I purchased this little sixpence proof from Atlas.&nbsp; I&#039;m a big fan of Kruger-Gray coin designs, and the acorn reverse is very appealing to my eye.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/32684637_large_zpsi4vr6rn6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And, finally, just 2 weeks ago -- I bid up a sixpence that I just had to have in a Heritage Auction.&nbsp; This is a part of my small &quot;toned Vicky&quot; collection, and it glows in hand.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say enough about how happy I am with this one -- she arrived last week, and knocked my socks off.&nbsp; You can tell she&#039;s pretty in the HA images, but she absolutely beams under the camera lens.</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/1899_sixpence_PCGS_OGH_MS65_slabs_ha_zpsoddgl77b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-5/1899_sixpence_PCGS_OGH_MS65_toned_composite_zpsswbsklvz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
