My latest 8 Reales arrived today looks very nice the images are dark so they do not do it justice. Done buying for a few months now have to save up.
This has to be the nicest 8 Reales I own the images from Ebay truly do not do it justice. It was certainly worth the price. I don't own a camera otherwise would show you guys what I mean.
This one has been traveling since Thanksgiving 2020. Should be in my possession
in a few days. It's enjoying the sights and sounds in Atlanta after being at sea for
two months.

There are many others that do not worth that much, so did not post any image capture here...
Some other ones no image.-
1867-A 20 cent Empire Francaise Napoleon III Empereur - Maybe in VF - Just liked this, since it is the first time I saw one in hand.
1893 1 Corona Austria, nice one, I may end up trying to find a better condition, this is VF.
these just came in - €20 bu, €20 proof & €100 bu natures of france laurel coins in .900 silver [2nd in series of oak, laurel & wheat]
the €20 bu came loose in a small velvet pouch, the €20 proof in a capsule & box, and the €100 bu in a little black folder with a cameo window in which the coin is set - certainly quite an array of packaging - not a fan of the €20 bu loose in a velvet bag, but all of them had great surfaces
the €20 bu & proof also have [nearly?] indistinguishable surface finishes, so not sure yet how to tell them apart if they were sitting side by side on a table
the €100 bu is massive [47 mm, compared to 33 mm for the €20 coins]; really appreciate the size they went with with that one
In studying my ancestry I've found a deep connection to Norfolk, so I purchased a Conder token to celebrate that. I liked this one with the scene with Norwich Castle and the upbeat motto on the reverse (the dead sheep maybe isn't so upbeat, but I digress).
The other side of this ancestry journey is that family legend had it that an ancestor of ours was a Napoleonic general. I have a bunch of Napoleonic medals as a result. I can't find a lick of evidence of this, however. My DNA says I'm 0% French. My family name comes from Alsace, but that was from a time when it was a German speaking protestant enclave.
Got these ones:
Israel 5 Lirot, from 1958, 1964 & 1965 - These three are nice coins, and most in hand, normally I buy coins for sale later, but these will think, I might kept them.
I recieved this 1864 Bogota 1/4 reale as a birthday gift from a friend and member here...thanks Craig i really like the specimen you picked out.
The thick date and misalignment adds to its crusty neat history thanks again made my day!
Here's another 1/4 reales I love the subject matter and designs.

I’ve always thought a very smart idea to use the crowned cypher rather than try to put the king’s bust on such small coins.
Although I haven't focused on it at all yet, I'd eventually like to build a set of coins with royal monograms/cyphers. They tend to be minor coins, due to space limitations.
Im not usually the modern coin type....but these have been a favorite for many years.
