World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Beware of fakes! Another type of bonk looks like this picture, and very good looking fakes are made in China. I just found the picture on the internet, and assume it is not a fake.

Yet another guilder arrived in the mail. Dutch Republic, province of Holland, one guilder/gulden 1748.

 

Dang! That sure is a good looking gulden!

 

I have also. Some of their designs are very intricate.

 

Very nice, I have been eyeing for one cause of your posts.

 

that is a beautiful coin.

 

envy is the word. that middle coin wow.

 

here are 2 coins I got at the last coin show in Las Vegas at the Westgate hotel/resort/casino
these pics are from my friends phone...
German States/Frankfurt 1862 thaler, .900 silver, mintage-44,000, KM#371, AU grade, subject:German shooting festival. I talked him down to $100.00 from $125.00. The funny part is I would have paid $125 so it never hurts to ask for a discount. I really like that eagle. so detailed. amazing...



German States/Rostock 1761, 6 pfennig, copper, KM#123 / C#14 , I like griffins and have wanted this 1 for awhile and now I have 1. paid $40.00 Yippy...

This one came yesterday, my first Bolivia coin

 

Here is a new one that I got for a bit over $16, probably overpaid. Italy 1871 5 lire.

wow. thanks. I have always liked the elephants on these coins, but the price is so high. I am guessing this coin was in $850-900 range ? It is nice to know you have it slabbed NGC because so many of these are fake. maybe down the road.

 

@spirityoda Yep, had to get a slabbed one as I do not want a fake at all!

 

@Mkman123 , here are my Thailand coins... link: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/thailand.193326/

 

Spirityoda I wish the price was that low! Details grade ones are getting around that price. Straight grade much higher. Prices for thai coins have gone up lately, at stacksbower, heritage, etc I've lost each time and the coins went many times above the estimate.

 

Heck, I live in Thailand and very seldom see any coins older that about 1960. The one dealer I met seems to want to mainly sell UNC commemoratives and medals. The very few older coins are mostly priced rather high, in my estimation.

 

Interesting that it is IIII rather than IV. Just my II pennyworth
