Today in Guadalajara I got this 1931 5 lati. It's not perfect, but it's nice looking, and for around $24 I thought it was a decent buy!

Those are nice!

Another Florin I needed for my type set.

 

Indeed. The 1 Rand is 80% silver and worth ~$7 in silver weight alone right now, so...

 

That is a super deal!!

 

Magnificent price!

 

I just got this, I had been wanting one for a while and finally bit the bullet. A little more than I would have liked to pay, but these don't seem to come up very often:

 

Very nice, Peso. Still need one of that type.

 

Thank you, I really like it!! It reminds me (in a good way) a bit of the Seated Liberty dollar, which are just a little bit above my price range. That's just one of the reasons why I like it, though

 

Bought a small bit of pre-Meiji at Baltimore. This was an experimental shot--not exactly to scale but does show almost the relative sizes for the rectangles. The bronze is too small. Missing from the shot is a simple bean money example and two more of the bronze (photos sucked and I didn't reshoot them).

But, now with coins in hand, 'reading the book' will be a lot more fruitful.

 

Silver Poland 5 Zlotych1932, Queen Jadwiga

 

Peru has some lovely seated styles too.

 

Here's a new pickup from the Whitman Expo for my Hungarian type set (1848-1948).

Hungary 10 Krajczar 1848B
KM-421 (Kingdom)
NGC MS63
23.6mm, AR 0.500, 3.90g

 

Here's a new pickup for my Austro-Hungarian Korona date set (1892-1916). This is a common date of which I have examples up to MS66, however, fully prooflike examples are scarce.

Hungary 1 Korona 1915KB
KM-492
Prooflike
23mm, AR 0.835, 5g

 

A Baltimore/Whitman purchase and the only Albanian coin I purchased. Actually ended up buying two of them as they were both nice with different drawbacks. I was able to give this one a bath and the black gunk came off (acetone) but this was a pre-bath photo.



I'm running out of Zog coins to add to my collection. The only one I found/didn't already have was a hard-to-find gold one but a bit too beat up for me.

Now the collection is Very Slowly expanding into the Italian Occupation era like this coin. After that I get to decide between Ancients and Socialists/post Socialist Democracy, or perhaps the Ottoman Empire.

 

Here is a popular world coin: the bronze Irish penny. The one in photo is a high grade example from the last year they were minted (1968). The obverse design is of a celtic harp. The celtic harp is also featured in the Guiness logo (which is an Irish beer). The reverse is the hen with chicks design that was first used in 1928 and was featured on the penny for 40 years.

 

None of these are newly gotten. B7t some of them are pretty cool.











This one I like a lot!

Shoot, I'm seeing the red-x and no pictures . I saw on another thread (the exonumia one) which implies tapatalk (and another one) aren't showing up correctly.
