    It's a tiny bit premature to announce this as my next newp, since the deal isn't final yet, but the seller and I were less than five bucks apart in the back-and-forth negotiations before he apparently went off to bed.

    (I've essentially accepted his price but am trying to squeeze free shipping out of the deal, too.)

    So I strongly suspect this Greenland 1926 25-Øre, PCGS MS65 will be my next acquisition. I've wanted to add an affordable Greenland polar bear to my collection for a little while.

    Not Strictly - the 1895 was only issued as Maundy but the 1838 (and also 1848) were issued as circulation coins too.

    Young and old. Now all you need is Jubilee Vickie. :)

    (I forget if they used the Jubilee head on these small denominations?)

    I got one of those Maltese coins when I was a kid and really loved the design. Still do. The dolphins are kind of funny when you look at 'em close up in the pictures, though. They've got this whimsical sorta "cartoon duck" thing goin' on. Like they're laughing. Or smooching.

    There were three partial "type sets" in a recent mixed lot I purchased. The silver 25 Steloj was not included. I'd never seen the type before.

    Here's a key date 5 Centimes that was harvested from a large lot of Belgian pieces. The French/Dutch varieties make for quite a headache. Very happy with the condition of this one. XF/XF+ I'd say...good hair/paws/ribs visible on the lion. 15 minutes in acetone didn't help with the discoloration.
