A rare example of Krause undervaluing a coin. Here's the French price guide:



Worth noting that French grading standards are about on par with ours, from examples I've seen. Prices are for VG / VF / XF / AU / UNC.

 

Received this one in the post today - fills another gap in my Halfcrowns date run - just need 1706 to complete the Queen Anne set.

 

Own none of her, nice addition

 

My newest Wildman. In a PCGS holder (for now).

Pretty wild!

 

Been scooping up French Classic coins. I think they are so undervalued right now.

 

VOC, 1766 Java rupee, 1805 Java 1 stuiver bonk and 1810 Surabaya 2 stuiver bonk

 

Busy sorting through a large box of World coins (by which I mean non-British - there are some US coins in here!). I was pleased to come across this one:

 

This one was quite pleasing too:

 

A Bolivia 4 Soles.

 

Some world coins came yesterday, all have animal portraits

 

Siak keping token




One seller that I buy from often throws"gift coins" in on my purchases. He always labels them. In my last purchase he threw the coin below without any id. Not a clue as to what it might be or if it is even a coin. It almost appears to be a head typical of some of the Byzantine coins I have seen in the top photo. Anyone have any idea what this might be?

 

Yes, it's an ancient. Not bad for a freebie.

ID is below.

Sinope, Paphlagonia. Mithradates VI, circa 85-65 BC,
O: Aegis
R: Nike

 

Thanks! Never would have identified that if I had a nice one right next to it.

 

A new pickup for my ambitious FJI Florin/Forint full set.

Austria 1878 AR Florin
KM-2222 (1872-1892)
NGC MS65

 

1940 Netherlands 2 1/2 gulden, came today. When I post the picture, I can see it looks kind of whizzed. In hand just looks clean, shiny and pretty.

 

2 new pickups.

The next falls into the "I'm not sure why this one spoke to me" category. Maybe it is the odd denomination, even for a German States issue.
