I've yet to identify but every day I grow closer to collecting ancient coins as much as I do modern.
I've also added some WW2 coins into my collection with swastikas. I enjoy collecting coins from this time because of the impact the war had on currency. Silver US nickels and steel cents. I just love seeing how the world impacts the designs and the history of coinage.

If I ever finish my current collections....Condors will be my next!!! It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure, that just ain't so. Mark Twain

Quote: "Peter M. Graham"Condor tokens have never appealed to me.... they seem too exunomia and non-official for me to bother most times. But that's just me.

Just now won this, having outbid 27 others to get it ... 'George III penny encased Silver Charles II penny love token engraved'
Described by the seller as >
"Love token?
Bronze half penny of George III encased with a Charles II (first period, second issue).
The coin is also engraved on the other side with 2 letters [J C possibly].
I've never seen a token like this, done with skilled craftsmanship. Unique??"

Highlights from a bulk lot of world coins:
A 1934 South Africa penny and a 1944 New Guinea penny, with a bit of corrosion unfortunately. I was impressed by the detail of the ship's rigging, it's probably one of my most beautiful coins. The bulk seller I buy off seems to put plants in the coins but I'm not complaining as they usually end up making the lots more valuable than what he sells them for.

Quote: "Camerinvs"I don't think there is a way to tell the difference between the restrikes and the original strikes. I've looked on and off for years and never found anything. My advice (if you care about collectibility over bullion) is to just avoid the restrike date for each denomination. This one was $99, versus $95 on apmex and $88 on goldeneaglecoins for a random (almost certainly a restrike) coin.
