Hmm looking at this page only, I see 2 coins I need for my set. @Galen59 your 1916 Panama 2/12 Centesimos and @dirty_brian your 1932 Cuba Un Peso are both US minted.
I haven't been buying any coins lately, so I haven't posted here in a while. Until now, that is! I really like the shell on the reverse of this 1966 Bahamian $1 coin:
New Henry Vii Groat. It's double struck, was surprised no one else went after it. Got a good deal on it. Henry VII (1485 - 1509 A.D.) AR Groat O: hENRIC DI GRA REX AGL Z FRA, Crowned facing bust in tressure of arches; crown of two arches, outer jeweled (crown 4). ROSVI DEV ADIVTOR MEV CIVITAS LONDON, Long cross; trefoils in quarters, cross end 8, saltire stops, ‘coded’ stops 20/10. London mint; mm:anchor (upright). Struck 1499-1502. Class IIIc 25mm 3.03g Cf. SCBI 23 (Ashmolean), 363; North 1705c; SCBC 2199.
Picked one up today along with a few more. Near and Far to rim on these refers to the MM. Yours and mine is a Far D, the near D's are all proofs I believe. Here are the rest of the coins I scored today. All of them are US Minted as well.
I feel as though I am losing my so called mind. I could swear I just posted this one as my latest acquisition maybe an hour or two ago. Maybe it was a different but similar thread? IIII Heller, Aachen.

This just showed up, 1824 Nova Scotia one penny token. The handsome dude on the obverse looks like George III, but is probably George IV?
Yes definitely George IV. Compare this Crown from around the same time: If he were alive today he would be in trouble for his sexual advances I suspect! He was a renowned womaniser and drunk, and very vain.
I have this one coming from Portugal. I think this design is great. 1903 Denmark 2 Kroner. I had to get one after seeing one posted here in world coins. My wish list keeps growing with all the great coins you all are posting here! What grade would you assign to this one? AU or MS?
I know the feeling. I visit this thread often and then a new coin is arriving cause of it. Now I want one of these! So thanks a lot, lol. Love the reverse.
I don't currently have any. There are quite a few on the PCGS registry list I am working off of. So yea I am looking for some years.
