World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I thought of you when I saw that. I haven't had a chance to read up on it but I thought it had to do with the war there. I know in 1848-49 a lot of the countries in Europe faced unrest.

A new pickup:

Austria Corona 1916
NGC MS65+

For my NGC competitive registry set. Top pop and a slight bump from my previous MS65.

 

Hungary 25 Forint 1961BP Proof
Franz Liszt commemorative

One type from a larger set of bullion coins produced by Hungary in 1961.

Also one of my friends thinks the bust on these looks like Gargamel from the Smurfs.

Killer reverse. I just happened to catalog this coin earlier this week.

 

Some more coins and medals for my bears and turtles collections. First a Canadian 5 dollar silver ounce and then four World Wildlife Fund medals.

 

A recent purchase. I have been looking for a reasonably priced Netherlands West Indies coin for a while and found one in August that was a bit more that I wanted to spend but decided to buy it anyway. The seller was in Europe. Coin never made it through through the transit between USPS > CBP > USPS at JFK airport. My second large dollar item scanned late on a Saturday night / Sunday morning "through ISC" never to be seen again. Luckily found another recently up for auction and I was the only bidder.

 

Some other random purchases.

Qandahar falus, circa 1700-1800

That middle one is gorgeous! Do you have these IDd?

 

Hint: You can right click on the picture, then click on "Inspect". That will show you a lot of info, including the file name. The first one I have IDed as "850-970 Post-Shahi AR Jital". Next one is "AH1276/1860 Maldives AE 1/2 Larin-Kuda". 3rd one is "VS1999/1942 Mewar-Udaipur AE 1/2 Anna"
