Here's a Italian (Venice) Grosso from the Doge Giovanni Soranzo 1312-1320 that arrived today.

 

I felt it was time for a new addition to my Dutch provincial coin collection after multiple Victoria purchases. This is a 1773 6 stuiver coin, colloquially called "scheepjesschelling" or "ship shilling", from the province of Zeeland. This one caught my eye because of the good strike of the ship. Usually there's a few guns and hatches missing on these. Not ideal in combat!


Also note the die clash visible to the lower right of the shield (rear windows of the ship), to the lower left of the shield above ORD (waves) and the legend visible around UT. The ship's pennant is visible behind the crown, but it's practically invisible in this picture.

 

Love it, beautiful example. Need one myself.

Never seen the type before, very nice.

 

That is a really impressive coin. If I saw it for sale I would probably just say yes.

 

Thanks! The seller's photos were lousy, so I am very happy with what I ended up with.

 

Nice coin....what's going in the date on the 3? Is that just a die crack or is that an overdate?

 

1630 1/2 taler from Saxony commemorating the 100 year anniversary of Augsburg Confession.

 

Another one found in the inherited coin box - And another bad pic (I need to get a good lens)

1931 Koningrijk Der Nederlanden 1 cent! I guess this is the key date so a cool find!
Much better looking in person

 

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the comments (as well as everyone else!). On closer inspection it's a die crack. I double checked in the Dutch coin dealer association's handbook of provincial coinage and no overdates are known for 1773. They might be out there though, new minor varieties are still turning up in this field.

 

I made an Ebay seller an offer, he came down a nice amount....seems fairly scarce...

 

1833 East India Company 1 pie and 1835 East India Company 1/12 anna

 

And after a brief change of pace, it's Victoria again.. and it's another sixpence! This completes the main types of sixpences for me so the next one will be some other denomination..

 

Just arrived this morning, and I am a bit excited! My first wildman coin! 1758 German States Brunswick Luneburg Calenburg 4 marien groschen

 

1715 Trier-Erzbistum

3 Petermenger

Obverse: Crowned round arms on a Maltese cross
Reverse: St. Peter with key and book in clouds, the value below, circle surrounds all, date divided above

Ruler: Karl Josef

Composition: Silver

 

Lucked into a nice panda well below current value at one of my local shops. Little crack on the edge of the capsule but no toning because it’s still in the original plastic pouch as well.

2000 Frosted Ring

 

I missed this in the box of world cons I have - probably because its so dark colored!!!

1877 British Half Penny - Not great at grading yet but I think its in the VF-XF range!

 

been a long time since I bought any coins. been buying a lot of glass lately.

 

Picked up a bulk lot of World coins. When all said and done each coin cost less than 10 cents.

Here are some of the highlights so far.

I'm Pretty sure the date is right on the one above. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

The Chinese coin does not appear to have a date as such on it. Try looking at numista for 'Kiang Nan 10 cash' and see what you come up with. I think it is fairly rare, good score there.
