World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Very nice crowns @PaddyB. Now a Tertio would be something but they are VERY elusive and pricey in any decent grade.

I picked up quite a nice Secundo couple of months ago but would love to bag a Tertio

Great Britain 1821 Secundo edge Crown MS62...….can't remember if I've posted this one before

@1934 Wreath Crown my goodness what a beautiful 1821! I should get one to start off my crown collection!!

Thai contribution of the day!
1868 Thailand 1/16 fuang Tin. About a half dollar in size. So many are damaged, corroded, etc. One of my favorite pieces, just love the elephant obverse.

Austria 1632 Silver Thaler, Hall Mint AU-58

 

It was this post that kicked me back into action recording my Crown colection, so here is my 1845 for comparison:

 

That's a lovely example @PaddyB ….much better than the example in the earlier post that kicked you into action

 

Some new pickups from the last week:

Germany (Augsburg) - 1920 Notgeld 50 Pfennig



Great Britain - 1935 3 Pence
(Note: original dealer had this marked as a proof on the flip. I don't think it's a proof. It is nice, though.)



Switzerland - 1902 B 2 Rappen

 

1902 Great Britain trade dollar

 

Lots of pickups from the LCS yesterday. Here are a few highlights.

 

More.

 

And these. Can anyone identify the 1972 coin with the oil rig or whatever it is? Also, I think the MacArthur coin is really well done. Two iconic images of him.

 

Algeria 5 Dinars

 

A few more from my photography exercise:

 

... and this which I believe is the Matt Proof version of the 1902 Crown:

 

Paddy - those are some nice crowns. It's worth it to collect for many, many decades, I take it.

 

Actually I only started in 2002, but I am one of those people who puts a huge amount of focus on achieving my collecting goals - probably far too much! When I started collecting I also started trading and I have paid for the collection by trading up consistently. A simple rule applies - if I have a good coin in my possession and it is better than the one in my collection, then I keep it and the old one gets the chop!
Some of the best have come from buying whole collections from people getting out of collecting - or their descendants...

@PaddyB Great Crowns. Do you have any from William III or Anne?? I try to bid on those but the nicer ones always exceed what I'm willing to pay

 

My recent purchase.....GB 2011 Sovereign MS 66 DPL

 

Yes - but not as good as the ones I have posted already. Here are the best:
