Yes it's extremely high relief. Easily my favorite out of my Hungarian medals and jetons.

 

Drool.... just let me know when you're selling that

 

A PF64(mine is mislabeled as MS) just sold in a 3 coin bundled set on Goldbergs.

 

Rats!!!

 

One of only around 50 known, picked it at an auction in Sydney, also picked up an AU 1860-Syd, an UNC 1864-Syd, an UNC 1881-S, UNC 1883-S, AU 1887-M Young Head. I'll get some photos up when I have time.



Plus this PCGS AU55 1856 at an auction in Melbourne.

 

Very nice early half sovs. But why is the photo of the 1856 reverse a bit fuzzy in the centre?

 

It's shot through a slab, the others are all raw.

 

Nice. I bought a few last year and know they are very hard to come by even in a moderately decent grade. Enjoy your latest acquisitions.

 

Thanks - I certainly will, most are just upgrades but the 1855 has been a hole for a long time. I now have every business strike Aussie mint half sovereign except the 1893-M Old Head.

 

My latest and a bit earlier acquisition: mould to make counterfeits and original of the same coin - Estonian 10 marka 1925

 

Always loved the obverse design, so finally got one.

Cape Verde Islands. Portuguese Colony. 20 Centavos 1930

 

Picked this bunch of for over melt, not usually my M.O., but I really liked the silver coins it came with and the other coppers were very nice also. All total, I got 13 coins for $19.99 and free shipping ($1.53 per coin). There is a little over an ounce of silver in them.

1925 10 Centavos

1937 20 Centavos


1935 50 Centavos

1950 50 Centavos

1948 1 Peso

1957 1 Peso - 100th Anniversary of the Constitution of Mexico


1958 1 Peso

1959 5 Pesos - 100th Anniversary of the birth of Carranza


1959 50 Centavos - Just one of the pretty non-silver coins that came also

 

New from Heritage auction today. 1770 German States - Speyer 1/2 taler - 1 year type issued for new bishop. PCGS AU-58.

 

Lately, I've been enjoying those "non-silver" coins from Mexico too...

 

a couple of indian princely states coins.

this one is an 18 century that was hammered like an ancient, this method was still being used into the early 19th century in india.

Deslji II, 20 mm, 10.6 g

thanks to @Quant.Geek for helping me with attributing this coin!

this one is my smallest world coin at about 11 mm...

O: sankha (Conch Shell) in 8-pointed star, Rev: oru kasu ("one cash" in malayalam script). 11 mm.

 

I believe a very rare coin. Will let the experts on Ancients enlighten me more on this.

 

Alexander III Tetradrachm. Quite a well struck coin, I thought!!!

 

Paid $14 each!
