Blazing red 1975 canadian cent

 

Looks like some pretty nasty corrosion on the reverse to me. I'd throw that one back and find another 1960

 

i took thoses pictures pictures in the dark last night, heres some new ones !:too-funny:

 

But a few from many send to Chile from Germany by our friend Goldmark. Will post the others as I take the photos.

 

Thanks for the tip! Love those Canadian coins!

 

Just stumbled across it, sorry for the poor photos:

 

For those of us who have "seen the light", that is a nice coin.

 

Finally arrived, just a shame they didn't make it before Christmas.

 

I rather admire the desk it is photographed on. Stickley?

 

:yes:Not new
1 Question why were they made with Holes????

 

To string the cash together by a thread/wire.

 

Thanks! I was pretty surprised to see it pop out of the roll, and even more surprised (and delighted) to see what it was. I was always under the impression that colonial coinage was more often than not made of base metals instead of silver. And don't worry, it's not lost on someone "in the dark;" it's interesting how much more standard the design is compared to continental French coins of the same era.

No idea. I'm pretty sure it started life as an office desk at UC Berkeley before being rescued from the scrap heap in the 70's or 80's.

 

Lots of cuds errors on this one

 

Picked up this beautiful 1876 German States: Hamburg 2 Mark, love the honest patina on this one.

 

That's a beauty Kookoox10! - I had no idea you collected these! :thumb:

 

Thanks John, this is my first dabbling of the German States pieces, I have some of the popular early 20th century empire stuff that you typically see here. I had to reach down deep to get this bad boy, she's a beaut! I'm currently eye-balling an equally stunning Prussia example, but it's a lot more money.

 

Wow. That's gorgeous. I love the detail.

 

These are the sellers pics, but it should be here any day! I usually don't like gimmicky coins, but Belarus coins are tastefully done. I think it is sweet!
