First off I got these 1963 New Zealand coins as an upgrade for my set.

 

I also got these for my various animal collections. 2 from Ukraine.

 

A "Luigino" from 1666. County of Tassarolo. These coins were modeled after a French 5 sous piece, which is why they have fleurs-de-lis even though they are Italian. 2 grams, 21 mm.

 

This 2015 Russia 3 rubles came yesterday. There's a lot of neat things about it.

 

Got this today. A super ugly 1961 Australian Proof Penny. I'm guessing it was in some bad packaging.

 

Another Russian 3 ruble I got today.

 

A couple of new addition to the South Korea Type set. The 5 Won is an upgrade. I would love to find a BU, but this one is nice. Hard to find in unc. The 100 Won is a commemorative, one year issue. 1st Anniversary of the 5th Republic.

South Korea 1966 5 Won


South Korea 1981 100 Won

 

Cape Verde - 10 Centavos 1930

 

My latest is the Mombasa 1/2 Rupee. I now only need the 1/4 for the set however I would like an EF-UNC Rupee to make the Set all high grade.

I was happy to get this neat 1 penny token from Tasmania. 1800s Australian tokens are really neat to me. Also picked up this Ukrainian coin commemorating Chernobyl from the same seller for a good price.

 

Ireland 1968 Florin
Mintage: 1,000,0000

Last year for this design. Ireland moved to the decimal format in 1969. Purchased raw on eBay, images are my own.

 

I 'needed' this like I need a hole in the head. Or, is that hole in the pocket. A duplicate...but man what a pretty one (and underbid at it's auction, I had a low bid in expecting not to win...yet here it is at my house after all).

 

I know how you feel.

Someone posted one of these the other day, and I had to have one.



Of course I probably didn't spend near as much as you did.

 

UK - ½ Penny - 1967 Wide rim
Belgian Congo - 2 Francs - 1947

 

Great Britain - 1887 3 Pence

Went to a show this past weekend and didn't spend much because the nicer coins were priced too high, as in 50%-200% too high. Couldn't leave empty handed though so here are some random pieces I picked up.

 

My wife and I went to the Grapevine TX Coin show Saturday. It was the busiest I have ever seen it. It was packed. I had to drop her off and park in the North Forty. All the table were full and bumping into buyer everywhere. A lot of World Silver on display but nothing I saw nothing that I liked that didn't appear to be over priced. I tried to find some coins from South Korea to upgrade a few coins and perhaps something new. I was able to upgrade the 1967 1 Won and I was able to find a 1981 20,000 Won, which I wanted. It's not the best example, seems to have some type of hazing, but it was the first time I have seen one. Hard to find. I went ahead and bought it, but plan to upgrade as soon as I find a better example.Very few dealers has coins from South Korea and the ones that did only had a few.

South Korea 1967 1 Won Mintage 48,500,000

South Korea 1981 20,000 Won Mintage 80,000
