    A pair of Prooflike 5 Shilling (1 Crown) from the 1950s. Low mintage on both of them, and really nice PL surfaces:

    I visited a shop in Seville I have frequented a few times. While I didn't find what I was initially after, I do have a circulated 5 Pesetas collection I work on now and again.

    1877 Spain 5 Pesetas.

    I got this for $1 along with some other stuff at an estate sale recently. I don't know why but I really like the Morales Pesos.

    That's an interesting coin. The wreath in the middle like that is an odd find. You can even see the direction of the metal grain in the reverse side. Cool find.

    This 1812 Spanish 8 Reales came my way today. Minted in Lima Peru. NGC AU55.

    This will be my last acquisition for a while as I'll be busy for the next couple months.

    The black spot on the obverse is actually a mark on the inside of the holder.

    Was browsing Mexican coins on the 'net, and found a dealer who had an entire roll of 1 Peso 1964 coins certified. I picked one up inexpensively, and the coin has nice luster and some frost. Not rare by any means, but a pretty coin. a.jpg b.jpg

    Today I went the Long Beach Expo, and of course I had to get a few things while I was there! It was the first time I'd ever been to a coin show, and it was definitely worth it and very fun!

    The first thing I got was a 1944-P 25 cents from the Netherlands. It was in a 1/2 off bin, with a price tag of $3, and it immediately caught my eye. I already have one of these, but it's blast-white compared to the gentle toning of this one. I went to pay for it, and the girl insisted that what was obviously (to me) written "$3-" was actually "$5". She said she'd take $2 for it, and that was that [​IMG][​IMG]

    The next coin I got is a 1913 1000 réis from Brazil. The toning is very pretty, and I didn't yet have an older Brazilian coin in good condition. Something that caught my eye is that, while Brazil in contemporary Portuguese is spelled "Brasil", it's written "Brazil" on this particular coin. Even before 1913, most Brazilian coins that I've seen say "Brasil", so I think it's simply because the spelling of the language wasn't as standardized at the time. [​IMG]

    The third coin is my favorite of today's acquisitions. It's a 1939 "ABC" peso from Cuba. These are notoriously hard to find on the internet, since eBay does not allow listings of Cuban coins - even though this particular one was minted in Philadelphia. I was on a mission to find one at the show today. It definitely took some searching, as the first two I found were quite out of my price range, and the third one was reasonable yet had a large nick on one of the edges. This one was exactly what I was looking for, and I managed to get it for a reasonable price! I think it's one of the nicest looking coins I've seen; the simple yet elegant Art Deco design looks very nice on silver. [​IMG][​IMG]

    I am going to collect all 39 of the cat proof coins ( have 4 already), as we are cat lovers, and just adopted a new cat.

    Newest pickup. I have one similar to this, WW2 art. Probably a gift for a sweetheart to use as a pendent or necklace. The obverse has the 5th air force insignia.

    1959 Ireland Farthing, NGC MS-66* RD
    Mintage: 192,000

    This may be my new favorite coin. The color on this one is even better in hand. So difficult to find these coins this nice. NGC has graded a total of four coins at MS-66RD. This is the only one with a star designation.
