Post your latest week's purchases

SYRACUSIAN · November 9, 2005 4:13AM

Why don't we ever do threads like this? A delight for the eyes, they do it all the time in the US coin forum.Let's see those beauties.

I have been very active lately, here are some highlights.

MadMarty's excellent photo doesn't even come close to capturing the true colours of this one, wait till it goes to TrueView.

for my latest purchases you would have to get Ajaan and LordMarcovan to post pix....

From Ajaan - 1949H Guernsey 8 Dbl in Full Red Unc

From LordMarcovan - 1889H Guernsey 1 Dbl in Full Red Unc

If they don't have pix, will just have to wait until the coins arrive to get some pix of my own!

Awesome coins. Here's a trade dollar I picked up recently. I like to chops more than the coin

There seem to be die polishing lines on many of the Weimar issues including proofs. Any idea why?-3Mark

It has been almost a month since I've added any coins to my collection but this was the most recent purchase for me.

nicholasz219 · November 9, 2005 9:03AM

Thanks Filam!

What would I do without you guys?

cacheman · November 9, 2005 9:56AM

A previously undiscovered Goetz German Shooting medal. It's hard to believe that this has been floating around for 100 years without someone realizing that it was a Goetz. The Obverse is a muled obverse from K-22...I am still trying to attribute the reverse to Goetz and I'm pretty sure this is his work too. I have assigned it K-718, the next sequential K-number where Kienast left off.

Frankenthal (Pfalz) SCHÜTZENMEDAILLEN - Deutschland
AR-Medaille 1907, auf das 22. Verbandsschießen. Av.: Brustbild des Protektors Ludwig Prinz von Bayern. Rv.: Stadtansicht. Slg. Peltzer:1069. Dm: 42,50 mm (25,10 g). vzgl.

Beautiful detail on that Goetz medal cacheman!

My first Hall taler from Austria (and another reason my budget is shot for a few months)

Stork · November 9, 2005 10:43AM

I think I may have posted this one once somewhere but I can't remember. I'm feeling the tug of the Japanese type set again. I love these threads

I picked up a couple of new ancients last month:

THESSALY, Thessalian League. 196-27 BC. AR Stater (23mm, 5.92 g, 1h). Sosipatros and Gorgopas, magistrates. Struck circa 100-50 BC. Wreathed head of Zeus right / Athena Itonia advancing right; SWSI-PATROS above, small N-I across inner fields, GORGWPAS in exergue. SNG Copenhagen -; cf. BMC Thessaly 26; McClean 4876 var. (legend break).

CARIA, Kindya. Circa 500 BC. AR Samian Tetrobol - 12mm (2.11 gm). Head of ketos (sea monster) left / Stellate pattern within latticed frame in incuse. Kagan/Kritt, "The Coinage of Kindya," NC 1995, 1-3; SNG Kayhan 810; SNG von Aulock 2340; Rosen 617 (Uncertain Caria).

STLNATS · November 9, 2005 11:21AM

I picked this up from the Post Office Saturday. Its from a friend in Italy who has been selling me his duplicates for a few years.

Its a 58 mm bronze medal of Paul V (dated 1613 altho this is probably a later cast, as they usually are). It commemorates the Foundation of the new harbor at Fano on the Adriatic. Work commenced on the harbor in 1613 and it opened in 1619.

The reverse features a very impressionic artist's rendering of the harbor. According to Roma Resurgens, it is not a very accurate rendering (altho certainly very enthusiastic) and it is likely that the designer of the medal never visited the site......

DorkGirl · November 9, 2005 11:22AM

I bought this from Aethelred

and liked it so much, I bought some more. So basically, it's all his fault

wybrit · November 9, 2005 12:04PM

Great coins everyone!

James, what state is that first bad boy from?

wildjag · November 9, 2005 12:15PM

Fantastic coins that everyone is buying, but my new coins seem to be lost in the mail from Germany.

Beautiful B mintmark coin there James

Forum member MadMarty sold me this on ebay last week.

JamminJ · November 9, 2005 12:23PM

<< James, what state is that first bad boy from? >>

This one is from Brunswick-Calenburg-Hannover. Not a German state I concentrate on but a high enough grade there was no resisting!

Ever seen a date other than 1707 for this type?

Chop marks are always cool.

No, it's the UK £5 commemorative issued in 1999 to celebrate the Millennium.

Fantastic stater from Thessaly hyperizer.Superb coins so far everybody, keep them coming!

Cathy, glad to see you back on the Jap set. Cecil, that 8 doubles from ajaan is what I call a quick turnover on a coin,I believe the shroom didn't even get the chance to post it in the weekend swap. And James, your new coins are nice but they will grade higher if you dip them first.

I think you are correct. 1707 is definitely the common date on this type. It seems like I have seen 1704 and 1711 float across eBay in recent months, but I do not have Krause in front of me to know if this is the same type.

nicholasz219 · November 9, 2005 10:53PM

Well, here were a few more value buys I got on the Flea today.

By the way all, some fantastic material you all have put out for show. I have to pick carefully through the Flea's junk box of sorts but occasionally I find some things to make me pretty happy.

I liked the Proof Balboa I saw on here a few weeks ago that I started hunting for a decent one to call my own. I picked up this fine example half Balboa just to start.

Cheers on the great coins all!

The detail and artistry!!

Please, quit tempting me.

nicholasz219 · November 9, 2005 11:30PM

Syracusian,

Can we make this a weekly post if anything? Let it run like Wed to Tues then start it off again?

This is really cool. Kinda nice to see what is out there and what our friends are picking up.

You know, feed the debilitating addiction sort of thing.

Nick

SYRACUSIAN · November 10, 2005 8:30AM

Of course we can, and out of respect to the dial uppers, let's reduce the number and size of images ,so we can have it once a week.

It just so happened that I had quite a few new coins this week, there are many weeks when I have nothing, but I wouldn't mind making this a regular weekly thread. Truly the posts and coins were beyond my expectations.

ozzysdad · November 10, 2005 9:11AM

I picked this up yesterday..............

nicholasz219 · November 10, 2005 10:42AM

I think a weekly thread for new purchases would be fantastic!

It's like getting a gold star from the teacher in school after show and tell!

Clankeye · November 12, 2005 10:35AM

I have been looking for a mint state example of a Philippine 50 centavo for some time. Picked up this white example of a 1921 on eBay this week. NGC64--it's just been so tough to find them in any grade above choice. Not great pictures--I am not the photographer that many on this forum are.

This 1633 Salzburg Taler - Paris Graf v Lodron (DAV-3504) appears to be in Choice AU to Mint State condition. It will be interesting to see what PCGS thinks about it.

I'd appreciate any of your comments about the coin, since I am not a learned "Dark Sider"
