World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

The guy on the Polish coin you can come across in Philadelphia too. That is Tadeusz Kościuszko. While this one was a circulation coin (hence Cu-Ni), there are also some silver and gold collector coins, from 1976 (US Bicentennial) for example. And later this year the 200th anniversary of his death will be the reason for two more Kościuszko coins ...

No way! I came across him in West Point too as he designed the first defenses during the Revolutionary War. He has a statue and a garden there named in his honor. I had no idea he was on that coin. It makes me all the more happy I bought it. Thanks for the info!

 

I've been studying vcoins. If I get a decent job look out!
None of my coins besides nickels and pennies have arrived in months or even years except for one gifted ancient and a 1971 silver Ike.

 

Yesterday's coin star finds... I'm sure I won't be able to retire on these still pretty cool. @Seattlite86

 

Nice find! Save me that one on the left if you're not keeping it. I don't have it yet. I'm also always accepting euros

 

When I send your package I will include them.....

 

Wow, that Swedish coin I "had" to pay for. Got the (three-coin) set earlier this year; those designs were introduced in October. (Only the 10 kronor coin remained unchanged.) The other two 1 krona coins in your image will soon lose their legal tender status by the way ...

Beautiful coin, Nas

 

I am sure many of you will recognize this bird

 

I rarely buy slabbed bullion coins but I am glad I did this time. I purchased this coin from a dealer last week for only $2 more than the raw coin. I got it last night and checked the dealer's current pricing and it was $20 more than what I paid. Tonight I checked it again and it has gone up another $15 from last night. So I've had the coin one day and it is already selling for almost double what I paid. I wish now I had purchased 2.

Blast you coin nut! At least it won't cost much to get one for myself!

I had an eBay discount for hitting a rating of 750 and some leftover eBay bucks, so I used them to pick up a nice Hungarian pattern.

Hungary 2 Forint 1950BP Pattern KM-548p
Copper-Nickel
5g, 25mm x 1.4mm



This is a pattern of the first 2 Forint issue under the Hungarian People's Republic (1949-1989) during which Hungary was a satellite state of the Soviet Union. Mint records indicate that 2,000 examples were struck of this pattern. The succeeding business strike (KM-548) differed from this pattern only slightly in both composition and design.

The emblem on the obverse is the early soviet coat of arms of Hungary, which was in use from late 1949 until the Revolution of 1956.

 

One is 1987 the other 1989.
They've been in the house for quite a number of years.

 

Not much into Liz II coinage, but I liked the reverse so I picked one up just for it.

I found some different reverses today, had to buy an example of each. This is the one who drew me in to the Bin.

 

I'm searching vcoins by year now. 1836 is next.
Not sure when or even if I'll ever get to buy anything of of the lists I'm making. Call me strange but I'm drawn to coins mostly with a head on front and date and value on back. A few exceptions here and there but that's what's mostly on my lists.

 

My second fav.

 

Found this one at the bottom.
