VF sounds about spot on imo, way better than the one i currently own... It's seen better days lol

 

Here are 2 others i got last week as well.

The top one is a ND (1618-1624) Duit from the city of Batenburg, Dutch Republic

And the bottom one is a 1678 2 Stuivers (1/10th of a Gulden) from the city of Kampen, Dutch Republic

 

Okay let's try this again. Just got grades on all these and very excited to share. Lots of upgrades and hole fillers. My Irish shilling set is now 100% complete and got a few more UK Type shillings.

 

Just got this in the mail today and pleasantly surprised . It has a very old cleaning and is graded AU Details cleaned but is a real nice looking coin for 39 bucks us shipped. It looks nicer than many that are straight graded I have seen and was quite a bit cheaper

 

Just got this today , from a cheap Great Collections win. 43.00 shipped including buyers fees . It says VF Details( US Grading not UK ) rim damaged . Not the nicest example but I could not help myself haha

 

*All Thailand* 1 Baht Investiture of Princess Sirindhorn 1977



5 Baht 60th birthday of Queen Sirikit 1992



10 Baht Graduation of Princess Sirindhorn 1977



I hope @coin_nut help me with these two ! extra from the seller

 

1957 5 and 10 satang. Both look to be the bronze type, a bit less common than the normally-seen aluminum-bronze.

 

I've always been interested in the Age of Discovery and the monumental journeys/hardships that the explorers went through (the vast majority perished) as they quested to discover the world (and of course, riches). There are a lot of related coins and medals, but I've never purchased any until now.

I'm not sure if I'll buy more - I'd like to, but I also collect world crowns and the budget is limited.

Spain - Christopher Columbus 400th Anniversary of the Discovery of the New World Bronze Medal, 1892. PCGS MS-64 Brown Gold Shield

 

Just got this in from auction. I absolutely love the reverse. Dragons that look like they spawned from roosters are the real deal. Also, I bet the fella on the obverse was a real piece of work.

 

Also brought home this 5 Batzen. Quite the bevy of die clashes, doubled dies, and whatnot.

 

Got some fun pieces today:



These two complete my set of Saar coins.

 

Here is a Karl Goetz medal that arrived today (K-432).

OBVERSE: Gustav Stresemann, who served as Germany’s foreign minister from 1923 until his death in 1929. He was the co-winner of the Noble Peace Prize in 1926.

REVERSE: The tombstones represent key negotiations that Stresemann participated in, including setting post-World War I borders, Germany’s admission to the League of Nations in 1926 and the Young Plan in 1929 to settle Germany’s war reparations.

The tombstones, along with the weeping willow, apparently tell us what Goetz thought of those events as they related to Germany.

 

last second bid

 

Got this 1965 New Zealand proof-like set yesterday. The set itself is a little bit worse for wear but the coins inside are still pristine.

 

Portugal & France

 

Got this lot of St. Helena and Ascension coins for an absolute steal on ebay:




And this Nepal proof set as part of a larger lot:


The 10 paise, which is badly corroded due to the cardboard insert the vast majority of the time, isn't too bad in this one. Selling the set will recoup the cost of the lot, most likely.
