World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I see 1882 on that rupee, nice coin there. The Chinese Guang Dong coins, seems they should have some English words around the dragon, saying the province and denomination. My two similar coins do, though they lack a date.

It really depends on the coin. The Yunnan 50 cents I have do not other provinces did.

Here is a graded example of the same style.

 

The history of when (WW1) and where (Berlin) this coin was minted is pretty heavy for such a small size.

 

New one from today. I got it for 10 cents less than melt value. Turkey 1293 AH 1876 AD 10 Kurush.

 

Mail Call.

Beautiful 1795 Russian 5 Kopeks. A shame about the slight environmental damage I think it would details grade. It is a huge copper coin.

(2) High quality 1911-15 (I think) Yunnan Silver 50 cents

 

Nothing fancy, but I liked the look.

Picked up my 11 year "dream coin", a Leopold I Thaler.

So glad to get this off my wish list.

Also my very first Thaler.

That's a great first Thaler. I have Thalers (more than a few) but still haven't found the right one of these. It is also on my bucket list.

Got in several coins for my slabbed world crown sized collection. Mix of NGC/PCGS with mostly NGC due to NGC having graded much more world

Afghanistan 1896 5 rupees -39mm
Bolivia Bolivano 1867 and 1871 -both are 37mm
My criterias for my collection are 36mm and up and pre 1970, the older the better.
