    Do you know what kind of prices they were asking? Just curious. This was $10 shipped.

    Here are three new ones from this last week. The Poland coin i got for $4, it is a 1623 3 polker. The small India copper coin I don't know what year it is yet. I do know it is a 1/4 Anna from Jodhpur, around 1900 to 1910, it is very thick. The third is a Kutch state 5 Kori from 1930. There are two different 1930 5 Kori listed, a V.S. 1986 and a V.S. 1987. I'm sure it means the years overlapped in the two different calendars, anyone know if it is the 1986 or 1987? poland1.JPG poland2.JPG india3.JPG india4.JPG india1.JPG india2.JPG

    I found this piece from Saxony and added it to my new Germany collection. It is just starting to tone a little and purchased it on an offer to the seller. P1010482.JPG P1010470.JPG P1010484.JPG

    Nice coin! :) Note that Saxony (Sachsen), where your coin is from, and Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) are two different states though. Ah well, in those days L.S. did not exist yet ...

    I was trying to give a reference to lower Saxony as it is today, at least it shows that way on the Google map. But I'm new to this Christian, and I do appreciate your patience and corrections because I don't know what I'm doing yet. Even trying to educate myself in German history, I see at least a year before I can deal with the complexities. So get ready for many inaccurate posts, but don't stop from the corrections. Another worry is buying a coin that isn't connected to my daughter-in-law or her family, historically; or is over priced. I don't want to buy something that has no meaning. For 50 years I only collected U.S. coins. Now because of my son's marriage to a wonderful girl in Germany, I'm trying to build a little personal inheritance for her. You talk about a fish out of water! :>(

    By the way, I did correct that post but wanted to acknowledge the change if no on sees the correction.

    Nice thread, beautiful stuff!! I recently acquired this Liberian dollar, 1968. It showcases Gilroy Roberts at his best. This and the Kennedy are amongst the finest portraits on coins, in my opinion.

    Chile has some outstanding coin art. The vultures and condors are exceptional. However this one (also a 5 peso) displays liberty beautifully. Chile 10 Peso, 1976. Nice large coin. I just recently acquired this;

    I have one too, its a lovely obverse. Reverse is boring though.

    Great cartwheels, britannia40.
