I've been on a bit of a Canadian silver wildlife coin buying spree lately. Some of these don't scan that well because of the security features unfortunately.
Thanks, I got lucky on that one...was bidding on a very dark green, almost black one, at about the same time, and lost out on it. I kind of liked the more worn, super toned one also. The coin is smaller in hand than I had imagined, maybe an inch across the flats.
Here's two that I got today. The Barbados coin has been on my radar for awhile. The Swiss 5 francs goes with my new interest in Swiss coins.
New arrival from Russia. I know, a long way to go to purchase a coin, however I won this auction for about $60 less than the value of the coin. This one is going off to NGC for grading along with a few others. I'm hoping for at least a PF69. It's for my daughter's birthday coming up in June. Somalia 2009 100 Shillings Proof Mintage 5,000
This one was thrown in as a freebie with my other recent Cuban Peso purchases. Ernesto Che Guevara. Serious stuff.
Finally found one of these at a decent price. I wish I could afford an UNC, but this one will do for now. I got this one today too...
Its strange how most of these are pretty beat-up in spite of it being such a low mintage collectible year. In XF or better these would go for $$$$. Nice pick up.
