World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Thanks. I recently saw an auction for a great seated liberty dime love token with my wife's name. I had been on the lookout for one for a long time. I got into a bid war with someone, and had to eventually bow out. Ya don't win them all.

Here's an EF 5 francs. Values are closer to $150-300 for this grade and type.

 

Very nice, J.A.K

 

Today I went to a nice coin show in Seville, Spain. I picked up a couple 8 Reales coins that had nice eye apeal with a bit of toning. One is a 1795 minted in Mexico City and the other is a 1796 minted in Lima. Really enjoyed the show.

 

Those are great, congrats.

 

nice coin. my 19th century Krause is a 2004 edition. I am sure the values are higher now.

 

Just pre-ordered one of these. Cook Islands legal tender, only 999 minted. The anarchist in me couldn't resist... The company I ordered from also throws in a Guy Fawkes mask with the order.

 

With OGP, a good deal at a dollar or so over melt. it sure is purty!

 

1985 Proof Ducat

 

Beautiful coin!

 

Final piece of the Pre-62 Cuba Type Set. Well, not exactly 100%. I decided that it would be complete without having to collect both the high and low relief stars. I'll still attempt to collect all the varieties, but for now I have an example of each. Working on putting together a digital album and should have ready in a couple of days. I found this coin in Greece. AU condition but with a details rim bump. Got it for a great price so I am not complaining. Nicer toning than what shows in the photo.

Bought this off Otago Coins ( otagocoin.co.nz ) via Trade Me a couple of weeks ago. Been after a good example of one of these for years. Had to fight for it, and go $20 over my limit, but really happy to get it. Though I'm not allowed to play with it until Christmas because of the "santa clause".

Very nice, crown.

 

Ok I finally got around to getting some better photos. Here you go @spirityoda. It has a few marks on it (including a large one that looks like he dragged his sword across the horse) they all look much worse in the photos then in hand. And also a recent silver pickup.
Edit: drat these photos aren't much better. They look a lot nicer on my phone, I can zoom in and see all the details. But when I put them here it just doesn't work!

 

nice pics. I liked that 1st coin too. there's nothing like own gold coins.

 

Here are a couple more coins I picked up at the coin show in Seville, Spain Friday. They are Spanish 5 Pesetas (crown size coins) and I have been working on a date/mint series 1871-1899 for a few years. If I remember right there are 36 coins in this series. I'm certainly not shooting for MS level, but honest circulated mid grade.
1897 SG-V

1878 DE-M

 

A couple goodies when I bought a bulk Antilles lot. Total face was 138 Gulden. Got these low mintage pieces in the mix.
