Not the best eye appeal, but much of the detail is still present. Seems this is about the time when cupro-nickel started to become popular.....
Silver is not "my thing" but I guess you can call this "toning". Again, most of the detail still present (some wear on the beard at the cheek bone). Still a good improvement on my pre-1962 country collection...
Best for last. A nice bronze with a George V that is difficult to beat.....
More to follow for December.

Been a bit slack this month.
First up an Australian collection for $84
Pennies and 1c and 2c, most dates
5c and 10c ditto to 2008 and the 10c were very nice, many AU ones from the 1960s and early 70s
20 cents included several state ones and Donald Bradman one.
Best page - $49 of face value for $50 (The other 5 pages cost $34 in total). Included on this page were 3 scarce dollars
1994 Womens Suffrage, scarce in UNC
1994 Dollar decade, a NCLT coin that never circulated - Canberra privy mark
1999 The last Anzacs, as above you could only get them at the mint, this is a
Melbourne mintmark
Weird medal for some 1960s Brutalist building in Sydney, the medal is 27mm and a spelter like metal
Not listed in Numista as its shown as a 22mm rather 27mm coin.

Some new royal coins and medals:
1846 - Marriage medal showing Henri (V.) the last bourbon of Louis XIV.s line. He possibly is the reason why france didnt become a monarchy after 1871 because he was either to arrogant to rule or did secretly not want to rule (He didnt want to rule under the tricolore)
2018 - Belgian 5 year reign anniversary of King Philippe
Late coin from the romanian monarchy: 500 Lei 1945
And this beautiful coin from Ethiopia: 25 Matonas 1931

Quote: "legowwwww" just came in the other day, sadly a bit warming from the envelopeI'm not sure what you mean by "warming from the envelope" but that P-17a 5 Pound sure looks like a nice pick up "Legoww.." Falkland Islands have a tiny population so they don't print more than 200,000 banknotes (yet they're usually pretty easy to pick up in high grades). I have that one & P12 (the commemorative from 1983).

sorry I mean Warping, when you turn the bill on its side you can see a small warp down the centre of the bill but I can't see it unless I see the side of the banknote so im still happy :)
I think it came from the strap that the bills came in, best of all it was 13 dollars !!

I also got a ton of other banknotes such as 1 pound banknotes from jersey, Guernsey, Scotland, UK, saint helena, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Isl of man.

I received this Proof coin that was issued by the Ukraine recently. It took awhile to arrive but I finally got it. It is a 2015 silver 10 Hryvnia (KM.790) that commemorates the Cossack leader of the the 17th century: Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Also, Henryk Sienkiewicz made the Khmelnytsky Uprising the central theme of the book entitled "With Fire and Sword." I have been trying to put together a small set of coins around the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

Got some nice additions right before christmas:
1863 medal from Schleswig-Holstein. This is possibly one of the most important medals of Schleswig-Holsteinian history. It was issued when Friedrich VIII. claimed the throne of duchys after the death of the danish King Frederik VII.
This triggered the Second War of Schleswig in which Denmark lost Schleswig-Holstein forever. Sadly the victorious powers Austria and mainly Prussia didnt accept Friedrich as Duke so he only had this position nominally during the war. On the reverse you can see the two duchys Schleswig and Holstein represented by two females stabbing down a dragon (Denmark I guess). The legend says "No force on the earth will separate us" which is an old motto of the duchys.
2nd this nice Maximianus coin featuring Hercules on the reverse. Maximianus was called Herculius to relate him to Hercules.
3rd this nice Romanian 100 Lei coin from the reign of King Carol II.

Last of the 2020 arrivals.
An excellent copper and improvement on my countries.
A new, inexpensive addition to our catalogue, KM# 143 (die cutters symbol below).
This was advertised as a "German States" coin. But with a little help from Numista and some other sites, I realized it was from Polish-Lithuania. It is from the Kraków mint but these hammered coins are a bugger. I'll post later on Coin Ident to see is I can't get the variety nailed down.
Lastly, a little old school with my measurements.....
We are heading into a 28 day Covid-19 lockdown so I hope everyone enjoys their holidays and keeps their loved ones safe.

I received this Upper Canada "sloop" token earlier this week:

It's in the catalogue already (with the reverse on the left where the obverse should be).
Any thoughts on the reverse, where the cask is? I have my idea, but I'd like the independent opinion of the experts on this forum.

Quote: "Camerinvs"Any thoughts on the reverse, where the cask is?Definitely looks like the Upper Canada and not the Jamaica cask. Do you think some past Numismatist was upset with this and carved a big X?
Peter ─ How old is your scale?
I'm not sure of the age of the scales. I'm assuming pre-1980 as they were made in India and show some age. Weighing spices or heroine
is my best guess.P.S. Nice Colonial btw. This one is scarce and always shows more wear than I'm willing to spend.

A group of little silver and nickle coins form Ottoman Egypt and Turkey,
all 1293 Abdul Hamid II (1884-1909) era.
also, a not bad Meiji era silver 20 sen.
Someone had started drilling just above the flower!

NZ Fleming Pound and 5 Pounds (The fiver is nastay, but I got it cheep!)
Most likely 1965 to 1967 before decimal changeover, but could be as old as 1956

2nd group
Commonwealth of Australia Dollar - 1972
Australia $2 from 1985 (They dropped the word Commonwealth in 1974/ 1973 for the new $50)
Fiji - $1 1975 or 1976, this was the large horseblanket one
Singaporean dollars from 1976 series
Singapore $10 and $20 of the 1976 series
All the notes from the one collection, apart from the Kiwi notes and Aussie $2 which are late 80s and borderline 90s, the rest seem to indicate some trip the collector did between 1977 and 1984.

A terrific end to 2020 the year my coin collection went from bits and pieces to a major force of joy.
Say hello to a complete collection of Australian shillings - its all here. Bought it buy now like that and the seller told me several watchers and lots of interest, he built it up over the years focussing on the pre 1946 stuff (The later coins are mediocre - but can be replaced easily enough, 1915H and 1933 less easy).
Some of the better coins include
1910, Not rare - but I have never had a 1910 Australian coin better than VG, this is goodFine near VF. Sadly most of these are cleaned, but historically. It had obverse coins and a second 1910 that is high VG near Fine - but definitely not cleaned and a solid coin(Its that dark thing on the top row left)
The other keys are
1915 Royal and Heaton Mint shillings (VG+ and Fine)
1921 Sydney star and 1933 low mint shilling (high VG and near to Fine with staining)
1934 and 1935, low mintage and near VF/VF examples (Likely cleaned in past - 35)
1943S and 1944S Shillings (Dipped VF and AU)
I had some more coins, but the dealer informed me he is closed until Jan 6 - and that "Mailing out orders over Christmas/New Year was his first priority", telling us before we bid on them was not.
Happy New Year to all of you.
