World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I started a new collection of Paraguay 19th century coinage. The gold coins (check out the history on those) would be very difficult to get, but the others make for a nice small set. Some beautiful coins indeed and not that expensive. These are the first three coins I got today and most likely the best documented specimens.

KM 2 Paraguay 1870 1 Centesimo MS65
KM 3 Paraguay 1870 2 Centesimos MS64
KM 4.1 Paraguay 1870 4 Centesimos MS65

wow the grade on that is amazing. a Italy coin I have wanted for years now but other coins take priority. very sweet coin. may i ask what you paid for it ?

 

these coin are so fanatastic. so glad you posted them. I collect "coins with stars" and I have not seen these before. they are so great. the grades blow my mind. may I ask how much you paid for these 3 coins ?

 

A 4 cent coin. Very cool Derick !!!!

 

I am not the best person at bargains and buy what I want most of the time. These coins are rare in this condition. The three coins are NGC graded (for now anyway) and were 650 US.

 

Latin coinage does have some nice star coins. I have posted a few you liked. I believe Uruguay 19th century also have some nice stars. The problem is getting nice examples. Look at these ones from Cuba.

incredible grades for sure. I think you got a great deal. those are gems.

 

I have a bunch of cuban stars silver and brass.

 

I like them too, would get me that first link.

 

These are some of my latest they are all in the colonial part so I will just choose my favourites to show here for those who don't look at that thread !










The new 2p is just for a bit of a comparison !

 

Thanks; I've been looking for one for awhile (kept finding G-VG if they dealer had any) but I like that design so much really wanted a MS grade.
I've not actually done the final tally on (I hate that part) but with tax, shipping, etc. should come in around $120 US give or take a buck or two.

 

A few coins which I got from Derick recently.

 

And a few more Chilean coins from Derick.
