1897 Muscat and Oman 1/4 anna

 

I have one of those 1897 Muscat and Omans, but yours is many degrees in better condition. And more interesting; it's looks like yours has a substantial die crack on that second photo - from the 4 in 1/4 northeast to about two o'clock.

In any case, playing from 1897, I take us to merry ol' England. Great Britain to be exact. An 1897 one-farthing. I don't know what it is about these ol' coppers, but I have some sort of undefinable attraction to them.

 

I love those old toned coppers too! Lemme find one...1897 GB one penny

 

Since we are on the topic, another GB copper. A half penny from 1806. Pretty rough, huh?

 

1806 Gelderland VOC 1 duit. Netherlands, Dutch East India Company

 

Staying in the Dutch East Indies with this here 1744 one duit (KM 70).

 

This is probably my best and rarest VOC coin. For a long time, VOC was my main collecting interest. Now I collect about anything. 1644 cast 1/2 stuiver, VOC Batavia.

 

This is my last one! Unless I start putting out Indonesian coins?

One duit from 1808 (KM 76).

 

Here is a nice 1818 2 stuiver bonk made in Surabaya, by and for VOC.

 

I warned y'all. From Indonesia I bring to you this here 1971 25-rupiah. I hope it passes muster.



Hey, coin_nut? Didn't I just see you in something Iraqi? DEA

 

Your coin passes muster, no sweat! I just posted a Saudi coin, now what comes next here...How about RVN 1971 5 dong.

 

I have some interesting (to me, anyway) Vietnamese coins. Here's a 19th century one van (or phan) - about 1820 (KM 182). Quite bully, in my opinion! Or does it have to have a specific date for posting here? If so, I apologize.



So we can go with this here Vietnamese 200-dong dated 2003 (KM 71).

 

2003 Switzerland 5 francs

 

Did I win anything yet?

 

You looking for the June Lord Marcovan give away thread?

 

Don’t the threads look alarmingly similar? Lol
I must be past my bedtime.

 

Uh, yes sir. They sure do look very similar........did I win anything?

 

Hey, coin_nut! I was hoping to have a Switzerland 2003 to assist with the transition to your 2013 francs. But I don't have one. You got something? A 2003 Switzerland?

 

Only 2003 Switzerland I had was that 2013 5 francs mis-labeled! How about a 1916 Swiss 1 franc?
