These images are those of the sellers. When I can get Todd to image them for me I will repost them. This coin is close in size to a U.S. dime. Amazing detail.

^WOW This is visually my favorite so far (I seem to have come along when you'd only posted half your list. I'm looking forward to the second half.)
Brabant, Antwerp mint 1479 A.D. Levinson II-38 Styria, Graz mint (14)56 A.D. Levinson IV-2 Austria, Wiener Neustadt mint 1458 A.D. Levinson IV-4 Austria, Wiener Neustadt mint 1472 A.D. Levinson IV-27 Less than 4 collectible pieces. Cologne, Riehl mint. 1447 A.D. Levinson I-81 These were the ones I picked out. Maybe 10 others. Just a variety here. I hope you enjoy them! I finally learned how to use Copy/ Paste. In a future post I will show some of my 2019 acquisitions.
I like this one too. They’re all cool. I think I still like the 1476 Brabant the most, for some reason.
If this one had the contrasting toning like the 1476 Brabant, it might be my favorite. Dunno. It’s a really cool design.
I like the 1476 Brabant as well. Rather well struck and clean. Stay safe this holiday season! Those Groschens from 1425-50 are rarely well struck. Bob Levinson pictures several in the latest edition of his reference work. The few I've bid on at auction have gone for 1500+ Euros. I've been out bid several times. I've got 3-4 Newps in transit from Europe. Not holding my breath.
tibor, You had a nice haul of central European coins this year ! I agree with L.M., the Barbant coin from the Antwerp Mint (1476) deserves 1st place .
Beautifull ! You certainly have the nicest early dated collection/ bar none Thanks for sharing them! John PS: I am still looking for a early dated AV Goldgulden from my home town/ Julich (Herzogtum Julich-Cleves-Berg)
great coins, thanks for sharing My favorite is the first pic - AN DADVL SM VENES / XPS RES VRESIT Can you add enough words to help folks like me who do not know these coins. Is that a saint of the obverse with another person and Christ in a box on the reverse?
Nice coins!.....Not my collecting area so working a bit blind here.. What I do know is your first coin has lovely detail as is really appealing! Congrats on a good year..
@rrdenarius Here is the information I have. Marco with halo on left. Not sure who he is. Andre Dandolo, doge, the chief magistrate of Venice, where this coin was minted. On the reverse, Christ rising from the sepulcher (tomb). Most coins that picture Christ on this type of coin during this time, 1342-1354, show him enthroned on a throne. I bought this coin because it depicts our savior rising from the dead. For many Christian religions this is what the religion is based upon. Eternal life after death. Not very well explained, but one gets the idea. This coin is the size of a U.S. dime with amazing detail. I hope this helps.
Nice run of unusual (to me at least) coins. I love to see others selections, it's really a "mind widener" !! Q
