World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Nice one! I've been trying to find one for a reasonable price. No luck so far.

hehe, advantages of living in Mexico. Just picked up another one, AU- for $17 :-(

 

I want to "unlike" this just because I'm jealous...

 

So this one isn't pretty at all....But I couldn't beat the price of $1.99 for $7.20 worth of silver. Plus, I love half crowns

 

Went to CICF last weekend. Picked up this rather wholesome Pillar 2 Reales for my Prime Number set. A couple Heritage wins should arrive within the next few days.

 

Nice!

 

Got this in the mail today:
1966(66) Spain 100 Pesetas.
While, I am enjoying getting world silver coins for under melt lately, I need to cool it off a bit I think. Good thing I will be going back to work after next week

 

Added 9 new coins to my German Commemorative Mark collection today. I love all the different eagle designs.

1988D Germany 10 Marks - 200th Birthday of Arthur Schopenhauer


1988F Germany 5 Marks - 100th Anniversary of the Death of Carl Zeiss
1989G Germany 10 Marks - 40th Anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany

 

And now the 5 Marks

1969G Germany 5 Marks - 150th Birthday of Theodor Fontane

1971D Germany 5 Marks - 500th Birthday of Albrecht Durer

1971G Germany 5 Marks - 100th Anniversary Foundation of the German Empire


1977G Germany 5 Marks - 200th Birthday of Heinrich Von Kleist
This one looks dirty around the edges in the picture but it's actually a really pretty rainbow toning. Wish I could get a good picture of it.


1978D Germany 5 Marks - 100th Birthday of Gustav Stresemann


1979J Germany 5 Marks - 150th Anniversary German Archaeological Institute

 

Kinda gambled on this one. Payed a little more than $1 a coin. The seller didn't show both sides of the coins but I kinda did some rough math and I think I came out on top. Sellers photos.

 

At $1 a coin I don't see how you could lose.

 

Very nice! Very low mintage!

 

Picked these up at the Grapevine show today.

1915 CN, First year type
1943 Brass, one year type
1958 CN, one year type
1971 Aluminum

 

Love the 5 and 10 Mark Commemoratives. The eagle designs make the coin. I have several and add from time to time.

 

Yeah. I think I'm at/around 20 different designs right now. Love the eagles. This last bunch I got for about $5.25 a coin. Not too shabby I don't think.

 

My most recent 'Modern' coin purchase would have to be this 2006 'Commemorative' collaboration from the Governments of both Australia and the Netherlands, that celebrates the landing of the first European onto the shores of Australia in 1606, by Willem Janszoon, (who complicated the issue by calling the place 'Niew Zeland'), (400 years earlier),
