World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I paid $15 each and they are all graded by NGC as between PF65 and PF69. I purchased them as a "curiosity" not because of numismatic value. They obviously never circulated, and they are by no means "rare".

Thanks for the kind words. Next time you post a coin, I'll interject with an equally positive and useful comment.

Horse head on Mali coin

The horse head is also on this modern coin of Mali.

I don't plan any future travel to Timbuktu or any place in Mali.

 

Because of this post I bought an example lastnight, 1862 but still:hail:

So thanks for sharing.

nice horsehead C89.

 

Got these today from ModernCoinMart...awesome coins the 1oz and 1/2 oz...horrible company to deal with...

 

This came today with the other two from MCM.

 

nothing personal, i just don't like nclt like those,

 

Finland, 1998, 50 penni, proof, 2000 coins minted

 

Last nights pick-ups 1920 Shih Kai MS61 Wa She Wong Collection and China Cash

I liked the cartwheel effect on the edge of grain wreath and at MS61 a decent grade for issue.
The China 10 Cash 1920 Y-303 is graded NGC MS63 Red and Brown. Cash coins have become
more popular recetly but the Chinese coin market has taken a big hit for sellers.

 

Those are two very handsome coins.

 

one of the nicest circulation coins ever minted.

 

Picked both of these up from the same collector. They are nice examples of the types.

 

Italy 1 & 2 Lire coins

I am envious.

 

What kind of animal is that? A cat?

 

no, it's polar bear

 

That is a brown bear (ursus arctos) according to the catalog I have. On the other side you see polytrichum piliferum, some kind of moss.

I know, shocking, two modern coins instead of ancients. I collect them all

A panama pill and a victoria sillver three half pence. Both ebay photos.

 

Mat, just wondering -- what do you consider the "modern" coin cut-off? Anything that is milled coinage? Is hammered coinage of the middle ages "modern" also?

 

it is based on a lapp painting of a bear...............

 

brilliant three halfpence, one of the rarest uk values to find................

 

why is it called three half pence and not one and half pence?
