Here one I traded for last night at our club meeting.

 

here's another ugly coin...

another spanish 8 maravedis of philip the 4th, 1652 (date is upside down at 3 o'clock). The "R" countermarks are part of the monogram of philip iv. i think it is oversturck on an 8 maravedis of philip iii, you can clearly see the castle on the reverse (upside down). you can see the original date on the obverse to the left, i think it is 1619. 21x23 mm, 5.4g



here's a pretty coin...



date and text on edge as well..."1964"



Italy, 1964, 500 lire

hard to get a good picture of this coin...VERY pretty in hand.

 

1st 1 Not to Ugly I have worse
that 1964 Italian 500 Lira one hard coin to find graded above MS-65 due to rim engraving

 

The Italian 20C and 50C are simply stunning. I want them and I will have them. =)

Nice 5 mark

 

Thanks Angelo

 

Hoping my cointalk link will come back on .there working on it.

 

Here is a new one for me today. Would be nicer without the rim dent.

 

Is there a line in the 2 on that 1892 500 Ries
Shadow in photo.????

I'm just guessing you may want to check.

Here are two neat coins I got today. One is an Australia 1 penny token from 1859. Australia didn't mint official coins until 1910, and this is pretty neat even if it has a hole in it. the other is a Tuvalu 50 cents coin that was generously sent to me by Cointalk member SpiritYoda. I love the octopus!

 

Received these yesterday.
1935 Canada Dollar & 1944 50 cents

 

here is one i just won at auction for what i thought was a fair price at $14. It is a AH 1299 Zanzibar Pysa, km#1

 

just a question, but is there a way to get some of the gunk off of it without ruining it?

 

Distilled water for a long time and tampering it dry. but all the gunk won't come off with out damage.
Acetone sometimes reacts bad with bronze and copper.

 

verdi-gris works good on copper. acetone does not work good on copper it tones it a very strange color.

 

my newest off Ebay...PCGS AU-58 Poland 1932 10 zlotych, .750 silver, mintage:5,000,000 , London mint, Queen Jadwiga facing left. size: 34mm

Something a bit out of my area but I really liked the coin and it wasnt something I see often so I added it to my collection.
