I will never compete with @panzerman but I did succumb to temptation and buy a couple of bits of gold today - 1872 Sovereign and 1887 Half Sovereign:
I need help identifying this Conder Token. I've found other Skidmore ones buy not this one. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Mike
This one arrived in the post today - not desperately scarce but a decent condition and slots nicely into my random collection of Crown size silver coins from around the world. 1888 Prussian 5 Mark:
I did some shopping yesterday and came home with these three - all upgrades for me: 1679 Charles II Crown: 1696 Farthing: 1892 Penny F134:
I thought this was interesting because it says "Phila USA" at the bottom. Obviously it was made in Philadelphia for Ecuador but I can't think of another time where I saw a different country's name on a coin when it wasn't a colony of that country or something.
