It must be Cooper-Nickel.  its  catalog price is about $12. Sell rice is $15-$17 on ebay.

so, Lb 7 with postage good price, in case  if you are interesting in "coins"  like  this one.

That's really nice! I really love coins that have some sort of history behind them, like the Vietnamese coins from the '70's with the description "Rebel Communist State"!

hello,
dont remember but I  guess $10-12.
but catalogue price is not  indication for this set. I collect african coins   15 years, and saw this complete set first time.  Also, catalogue price is  usually same for years, so I think it was $10 in 1980, and now its $10 as well :)

I think it can be interesting to see which coins we are buying or got as present.

For example, this is absolutely fantastic 25 euro from Austria, which I bought for my euro-collection.
Very interesting color in real (green with blue)



Do you like this?

And one year later, my new item


and this coin joined to my collection and now have new family =)

Best regards,

Thanks sujit!   What is interesting about the Parthian coin is that it was from the Money Museum in Zurich.  Apparently, they decided to lighten their load and hence sold several coins including this Parthian coin.  Glad it is now in my collection  :D .  This is one of about four or five coins I picked up that were former Money Museum coins...

Well, I added an additional coin to my Third Reich collection.  I bought several coins over the past two weeks, but it needs to be researched and cataloged before I can post it  :) , so I figured I should start off with the easy one:

Germany, Third Reich: 1937E 5 Reichspfennig, Muldenhutten Mint (KM#91)

Obv: Eagle above swastika within wreath
Rev: Denomination, oak leaves below

This particular coin is graded as NGC-MS65.

Speaking of the Third Reich! When I found this token in a mixed bucket of foreign coins, I thought "this looks really cool, but I'll never identify it". But, surprisingly, googling "W St B 1938" told me exactly what it is. It's a token for the tramway in Vienna, issued after the Anschluss (so its value is 10 reichpfennig). Amazing how the fascists were even able to make a wheel with wings look terrifying.

 I bought these coins  at Russian  auction " Molotok"  just for  $11 including shipment to Moscow.

set of Cambodia


scarce tokens of Tatarstan  ( bread,  gas 10 L, and Gas 20L )




Malawi  UNC last coins  with 1st presidents face



and  Sudan 20 piastres with VERY strange buffalo  on it, which must be another variety of this coin  :)



Good job I think  :)

 Sudan will go to collection, others - to swaplist

  United Kingdom 1992 Proof Piedfort ECU 7-coin set ...



 If anyone wonders what a Piedfort coin is, it is double thick ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedfort

 I bought (just over £40) the set for myself, as the coins were patterns but never issued.


EDIT: I list the seven coins for my own notes, as I now see two are not yet on Numista - and at
  the weekend I can make pictures then to add to the new pages I created tonight.
1/10 ECU  The Mayflower  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71151.html
1/4 ECU  British Parliament Building  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces55688.html

I bought this Maria Theresa 1780 silver thaler on eBay not so long ago.

Rather worn, especially on the obverse side (MT is almost featureless!), but I actually like coins that are toned and somewhat circulated. Adds character...and cheaper, too! Lol



Pretty sure the coin is legit, and from what I can determine, it looks to have been minted in Milan circa 1815-28, so a relatively early restrike of this popular trading coin.

I have gone on a bit of a buying spree  over the weekend z)

Gothic Florin




all half crowns to fill this page to complete the run so I have 1920-1967 complete apart from the non existent 1952 (only 2 known of and valued at £30.000, bit out of my price range  :O ), next will be completing 1887-1919 (already have 1887, 1898,1899, 1901, 1906 and 1908)



Bought a small job lot of coins for just over £5 and found these in there.



I almost sold them on without researching, glad I looked on NGC and realised the dates  have some value, way more than what I paid.  :`  

so not a bad weekends worth.   :D

 Three reasons to show what I received today ...


  • 1  I bought (at nearly face value) this lovely UK £2 coin from last year.
  • 2  However, the sender obviously does not regularly sell coins, as it has been taped across.
  • 3  The envelope it came in has a Morecambe and Wise stamp on it!

 No doubt at some time I will find the same (Trinity House, in charge of coastal lighthouses) coin in pocket change, but at least now I have one. Rather than add to an old topic somewhere on here, just to point out to newer members what not to do to coins being posted. Then maybe known only to UK members but Morecambe and Wise were among the top comedy acts; I did not know they were bringing out stamps like that (I now found a link for the series, issued by the Post Office).  :)

Yesterday afternoon, I picked up a 1939 penny from Australia and a 1951 penny from New Zealand. Both really nice and barely used, if at all. Also just in time for Anzac Day (today, April 25), although my purchase was coincidental!

A nice 5 Mark coin minted in 1901 for Hamburg. Very nice definition and toning, with just a couple of minor dings to the edge/rim. Excuse the slightly fuzzy pic!

I was more thinking about the "links" between the peripheric words and the border, and mainly the date one
