The first one is actually a Soviet Union coin dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. The second one is also from the USSR; that was issued in 1970 and commemorates Lenin, born 100 years ago then. The Ukrainian 1 hryvnia coin shows grand duke Volodymyr ("Vladimir the Great"). That is a circulation piece. Christian

an upgrade, Lebanon 1925, 5 piasters, sellers pics: main reason for getting this coin...bees on the first pic. for the "Coins with Insects" collection. better pics when I get the coin in hand and straight up. you wonder if this seller was drunk when he or she took these pictures ? lol
guess what came in the mailbox today ??? my Isle of Man 1997, 1 crown, skeleton cat coin. been wanting to get this coin for 10 long years. the great seller that I repeatedly buy from decided to let me buy this 1 coin separately from a 4 coin set. he has 4 sets of these coins. I did not want to buy the whole set. so happy right now. doing the happy coin dance as we speak. sorry for the bad focus on these pics. super excited right now. on to the pics... the coin is in perfect condition. any scratches are on the plastic case it is encased in. so happy right now. coin euphoria. lol I just now replaced the plastic capsule with a new 1 looks so much better now.
Two more i just got today, the first ever brunei coin in my collection, and another german east africa copper coin.
