World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Nice score Rob
I would have the 5 Soles graded. With only a small mintage population to start with you know that not to many where graded.
I don't know much about your other coin.

Ive wanted this type for many years and finally pulled the trigger on one. Much better with the toning in hand.

 

I love that gold Peru coin. my 2013 Krause catalog says there's only 3,002 minted. not sure which number is accurate ???

 

Ah, a classic French beauty. I just picked up a string of these coins, but all of my pick-ups come from the 1960s and 1970s fleur de coin sets when the denomination became 10 (heavy) francs and later 50 francs.

 

What I put in the fist post was from memory, but I checked my older Krause and it says 3,651! This is was the seller's note says on the flip, too. BTE..I paid $15 over melt, which was $94 IIRC.

Very nice coins. Good job posting them.

 

Nice, didnt even know they reused the design then.

 

The Hercules design on French coinage dates back to the time of the First Republic (1792-1804).

When you do something right, it endures and becomes a classic. Our French numismatic friends definitely did it right.

 

Well, I hope this classic even survives the latest re-design.

Awesome eye appeal on that one regandon.

 

I am liking the bee mint mark.

 

Cheap but pretty. Nicer in hand than the pics.

 

Nice Toning on both!

 

just bought this 1933 Lebanon 50 piastres silver coin off Ebay. the reverse on this coin is the best I have seen in a very long time of searching. I have nicknamed this coin the "Avatar" tree coin from the Avatar movie. this will complete this type coin set of 3 coins. I can not wait to get it in my hands. sellers pics...



great detail on this reverse.
