This one from an auction yesterday with a bunch of other foreign bits. If I have it right it is Kashmir Rupee VS1938 (=1881) Gulab Singh, but please let me know if I have it wrong!

 

Democratic Federal Yugoslavia. 1 and 5 dinars 1945. Post-WWII coinage. Single release.

 

Kingdom of Poland (1916-1918).
5 fenigow 1917, iron.

 

This came a few days ago. 1858-1920 Mewar-Udaipur, AR Rupee

 

Nice additions all.

That 1945 2 Bolivars is gorgeous @Endeavor.

I really need to get a new camera. My Canon died a while ago and i really miss being able to take photos of my coins.

 

I am pretty happy with the Olympus Stylus TG-870 "Tough" I got a while back. Does good macro work plus is supposed to be good for some depth underwater. It wasn't cheap and isn't a Nikon or Canon, yet it hasn't broken down yet.

 

Because I am still very new at the World Coin hobby, I am trying to add new countries and various political regimes within countries, and learning a lot of history at the same time. Recently traveling I found a wonderful source of a variety of coins and that is tip jars at airports shops. The staff is very happy to trade "foreign" coins for local coinage or bills. I am very happy to overpay face value, and I have increased my holdings of modern (not euros) coinage and added some older coins as well.

 

I am generally not a US coin collector but I have wanted one of these since....well since I knew they existed. Found a dealer in Louisville today that had both varieties in a Capitol holder.

Made my day.

 

There's a post your capital holder thread....I'm sure it would be a hit.

 

Got a roll of these MS for $2.50 or 5 cents US for this one. It is one of the better ones and other than staining looks pretty good. I will run through acetone to see if it helps.

 

A few new additions to my animals collection. 2015 Transnistria 10 rubles and 2014 Canada 5 dollars.

My first Spanish colonial. Took me a little time to pin it down, but the research was fun! I like the circam look. I will take a shot and say VG but it is in the dark.

 

Small load of 200 + coins recently hand carried here from Netherlands. Job security for a while! A lot of very shiny proofs, so I need to polish up my photo procedure.

 

Here's two more from a recent buying blitz to supplement my bears collection. 2018 Canada 2 dollar half ounce silver coin and a medal for the Berlin Zoo's polar bear Knut. Knut was a media darling for quite awhile. I remember always seeing his picture when he was a little furball. Sadly he died after a few years but when I saw this I had to have it since I remember him so fondly.

 

Macedonia
AV Quarter Stater ND Ampholis Mint
Philip III Arridaeus/ Antipater (Regent)

 

I also picked up this Canadian 50 cent set for the bear coin, but also the other animals too.
