Message:: [QUOTE="tibor, post: 12534265, member: 73385"]2022 was a very special year for me coin wise. I had fouraccomplishments that I'll share. I still can't believe my goodfortune. 1.  I was able to bring to light a coin discovery not listed inBob Levinson's book "The Early Dated Coins of Europe 1234-1500" 2nd Edition or in any other publication. It is a  1499 1/2 stuiver of Zwolle. For now I gave it areference #  III-276a. Bob will update later. I purchasedthis discovery through a friend here on the forum.[ATTACH=full]1527965[/ATTACH] Here is the obverse.    2.  I reached out to Sean Breazeal about sharing some of my coins on his web site  "Medieval Coinage. com. This site is a supplement to the Frey and Levinson books. This site deals mainly with Early Datedpre 1501 A.D. coins. For the most part, European coinage. I startedsending  him the images and he places them accordingly. For now1440-1479 are posted. This really means a lot to me to have my col-lection recognized this way. medievalcoinage.com    3.  John Baumgart (messydesk) asked me if he could use one of mycoins in his 2023 calendar. I said sure. This is quite the honor for me.The gold piece is a Brabant 1488 half noble d'or. It is pictured for March.[ATTACH=full]1527967[/ATTACH]    4.  This year I bid on over 100 coins. A mix of new coins for my collectionand 10 upgrades. While pleased with the results, the new coins I bid on andlost may not come back around in my life time. I know, be happy with yourwinnings. Tell that to the OCD part of me.  That is it for this year. A most excellent year coin wise. I hope the ChristmasHolidays are good for everyone and that 2023 will be a good one for us all.[ATTACH=full]1527979[/ATTACH]Recently acquired upgrade.[/QUOTE]
