    The dark side is really looking seductive. I have to admit that the old 8 Reales have my interest peaked, and your new Groat is tantalizing... I'm really going to have to look at everything this coming Friday at the PNNA. :)

    Well I certainly hope so!! I keep one foot planted firmly in each World. Wait until you see my latest acquisition. ;) It was a Pegasi Auction win, I haven't received it yet.

    @Paddy54- if one is to be seduced by the Dark Side, you did it right. That's a pretty seductive coin.

    We know your weaknesses.

    Think that binder lyin' there was a coincidence?

    Think again! ;)

    Can't remember if I've posted this one before.....
    1821 Secundo Crown MS62, I thought the obverse was particularly sharp.

    I recently purchased a complete 1928 Ireland proof set in old ANACS holders. I cracked the coins out and submitted them to PCGS. Just got them back today. Here's how the grades played out:

    Farthing: ANACS PF-63 RD -> PCGS PR-65 RD
    Half Penny: ANACS PF-65 RD -> PCGS PR-65 RD
    Penny: ANACS PF-65 RD -> PCGS PR-65 RD
    Threepence: ANACS PF-64 -> PCGS PR-65
    Sixpence: ANACS PF-66 -> PCGS PR-65
    Shilling: ANACS PF-66 -> PCGS PR-65
    Florin: ANACS PF-64 -> PCGS PR-65
    Half Crown: ANACS PF-64 -> PCGS PR-66+

    All of the coins are original 1928 proof strikings, not 1961 restrikes. Finding the farthing/half penny/penny with this much of the original red color is very difficult. Also, the half crown is the only original strike 1928 proof to be assigned a grade above 66 at either PCGS or NGC. NGC has graded one at 67, but it's a restrike.

    Well I sort of knew if I were going to get any response on this purchase it would definitely from you lol......It may of been a set up as it was dead center of the page in a flip...and I truly did not look at anything else on the page ...#1 I was done , Broke ,kaput.... well I still had $43 but still... the coin spoke and Keith is a great guy he took my $40 and sad write down the balance on my card....between now and next year I know you'll pay me...I was like OMG:wideyed: and I asked him just hold the coin until we can square up...he's like no I saw the look in your eyes....love at first sight it yours pay me when you can what ever you can for the amount agreed.
    Which BTW was unbelievable as when I did my homework I was seeing these is much worst shape for hundreds more... !!! The coin is swell to own I really love it...but what really made my day was the trust Keith had in me ....that my friend was the icing on the cake. It speaks volumes ...

    Another Japanese aluminum coin found its way into my mailbox:

    Plus this one a little while ago--the coin itself is nice enough, but this looks to be a sample slab for a Japanese coin store in Tokyo, World Coins Japan (changed the photo orientation up to make the slab label more visible):

    Don't know about proof versions but apparently they made 2 coins in gold........I'm told one is in the Central Bank's museum in Rabat....here's what I was told is the second known piece (MS65)

    Here's my new 1922 Greenland 2 kroner. Apparently these were issued for miners in Greenland. Only 4000+ minted. 1922 greenland 2 kroner.jpg

    1) That’s a gorgeous coin.

    2) I think mine just must have been struck with new dies...fields are definitely prooflike. Not home now, but I recall it not seeming heavy enough or looking the same as a gold piece would be, not that it stood a large chance of that anyway. So, most likely, new dies IMO.

    Belated comment @Hiddendragon- I've been enjoying those Greenland polar bears you've been posting. That last 2-kroner type is really neat and had not previously been on my radar.

    This PCGS MS66 1926 50-øre piece was on my short list of cointenders in my most recent round of purchases for the Eclectic Box collection. I ended up going with the other coins in my last post instead, but I'm still keeping an eye on this one for next time, maybe! :)
