Found this a a good price for 1/2 oz. of silver. I don't have many coins from South Korea but this might be a start. Has a minor scratch even thought it was still sealed in the original capsule. South Korea 1987 Proof 5000 Won Mintage 227,500
This is the new 50th Anniversary Silver version of the South Africa Krugerrand. I think this will be an instant collector coin even with a high mintage of 1,000,000. Mine came in a black bag with Coa. Hefty premium on this coin. South Africa 2017 Silver Krugerrand Mintage 1,000,000
I like the owl, but the text on the obverse bug me enough. I have it on a watch list and we'll see how I feel about in a week.
This is not the most recently acquired world coin I have obtained. Perhaps it is the penultimate. I just adore the sweet little Kiwi on the reverse and since I don't have any other coin from New Zealand, I am happy to have this one.
Had to add this to the collection. I have been collecting this series since it first came out in 2007. This is a special edition with a Kangaroo Privy. I hope the Perth Mint doesn't get carried away like Great Britain with the various privys and edge-marks on the Britannias. Australia 2017 Kola with Kangaroo Privy
Beautiful, @Nas. Every time I look at my Olympic commemorative coin, I wish it depicted some type of skating! It has a rower.
Thanks. The coin is in an edge-view holder, but I don't have any angled photos of the slab, and it's in my safe deposit box.
Still have a big love for Medieval coins, picked up this common type of Louis I since I didn't own any of him. Louis I (Ludwig I) (1342-1382A.D.) AR Denar O: +MONETA LODOVICI, Head of Seracen left. R: REGIS HVNGARIE, patriarchal cross. .6g 15mm

I went with 2 rolls of nickels and 10 pennies at the usual bank (machine rolled) and 10 at the other bank in town (customer rolls). 3 pennies into the first machine wrapped got me a zinc 82D small date.
