I'd love to see the whole albums, if you're willing to share.

 

Here are my latest. First is a Timurid silver tanka. Second is a military mint issue of Justin II. Third, a very precious half tetarteron of Manuel I. The Timurid piece was salvaged from a dealer junk box. The 1/2 tet and the Justin II purchased from a dealer at a local coin show last weekend. I do love rips. Cheers to all.

 

A couple of 18th Century Halfpennies picked up in the last week:

The 1774 is clearly a "Non-Regal" or contemporary counterfeit! Not only is it a bit underweight at 8.34g, but just look at Britannia's head!

Not a big panda guy, but just had to have this one. It's a really cute design. (So is 2020's and I may get that one later.)

 

I thought this was a cool design, especially with the connection of the monarchs to Mexico.

 

Here's a new acquisition for my Hungarian krajczár set (with seller photos).

This side collection to my Hungarian types is a full set of the krajczárs of 1848-1892, including Austrian occupation issues (1851-1863), patterns, and restrikes.

While many of the earlier issues in this set are sufficiently rare to be happy with any mint state example, my minimum acceptable grade for all coins in this set minted after 1867 is MS64 RB or MS65 BN, to keep the set challenging across the board.

This coin marks the halfway point to completion of the set.

Hungary Krajczár 1887KB
KM# 458 (1878-1888)
Copper

 

Always wanted these French Indo-China coins. Finally decided on one with some x-mas money.

 

Good thing to spend Christmas $ on

 

1559 KB Hungary Denar

 

This came a few days ago. 590-628 Iran-Sasaninan Khusro II AR Drachm, RY8

 

I have this coin in my "coins with insects" collection. It is beautiful.

 

Here are some real insects from my collection/ which I am selling to get coins

 

These are amazing. I really liked the 2nd photo best. I only have 2 framed insect coins now in my collection. Way down the road I will buy more butterflies off Ebay.

 

The #2/3 photos are same butterfly species. Ornithopters paradisea galatea M+F from Salawati Island/ NW Irian jaya.
The males are beatifull with long tails/ iridescent green/black/gold coloration. Ths females are drab brown/white/black. I once had over 20K in my collection. I have about 10K specimens left.

I was going to ask you if you had this one. I figured you would.

 

10 K wow. Amazing. Which kind are your favorites ???

 

I have wanted a Ducat for some time. finally got one. its so shiny and hard to photograph

 

My main group where "papilionidae" of the World. In other words I specialized in "Swallowtail Butterflies" This group includes Parnassius/ Ornithopters/ Papilio/ Graphium...
A papilio elephenor male sold for 55KUS. Some bug collections are in the millions of dollars/ just like coins.

Great addition! I think that I have around 300+ Dukaten coins in my coll. All the way from tiny 1/32 Dukat from Regensburg to the 10 Dukaten from Papal States.
