wow great buys. envy is the word. how close are you on getting the 5 mark eagles set complete ? did you ever get the '58 yet ?

 

gbroke, I have just bought some coins off this guy at work. 1 of them looks like your second coin from prussia 1908 A date. I think it's VF-XF kind of dark toned. I will try to get a pic of it soon for you to look at. I am liking that 5 mark 1967 D.

 

nice grade for that coin.

 

Anyone know what this is ? I know its a condor or similar but from where ?

 

A bank of Canada Commerce 1813 1/2 penny token.

My first Doppeltaler from Saxony , graded VF-35.

The best I did so far with the Peruvian SOL are NGC MS60. I think this might beat that. I can unfortunately not capture the mint luster well on this one, but very nice inhand. The A in LA UNION is also a different die variety than normal. The cross bar on the A does NOT run through both legs.

 

beautiful ! i like how it mentions lima, i just got outbid on a gII liam shilling today !

 

I have a few oddly shaped coins in my collection, but this is my first oval shaped one.

 

An interesting design, and you may find the other one, issued in the same year, interesting too. It commemorates the battle of Grunwald/Žalgiris/Tannenberg, and Lithuania issued (round ) coins on that occasion too: http://www.nbp.pl/en/banknoty/kolekcjonerskie/2010/2010_08___grunwald_en.pdf

This year Poland issued another oval "coin", dedicated to the Teatr Polski in Warsaw, which is even colored. And talking about odd shapes, here is one - nah, four - issued for the UEFA Cup last year:

It's not your eyes, it's not the photos. Those pieces do have that odd shape ...
