You did good liberating those coins from the Europeans. They simply don't deserve them!

very cool!

Those same Europeans will be wanting to re-patriate those coins, especially with the weaker Dollar!

I really did take advantage of the high value of the dollar in the mid 80's as well as the slow coin market.
I guess the Europeans are having their turn now. It is really to bad I did not know more about what I was buying at that time. I bought dozens of ancient silvers and a couple ancient golds, but it seems there is still no interest in those. I also bought a few fantstic modern proofs that I have never check to see what they were of if they were even low mintages. Let me look through these books and see what else you might be interested in. Anyone have any requests as far as countries go ?

Here are just a few more, some of my favorite strange types.

Kingdom of the Netherlands 1770

How about during the Crusades in 1323
what is now Iran.

Here is a rectangular gold coin from
Japan in 1814, think this one will slab?

Switzerland 1814

I like that Swiss coin! And the Japanese shu too.

Do you have any Polish coins?

Very cool coins, let me be the first to enter this most excellent giveaway.

Jester, It is strange but only one coin from Poland, I think it is from Poland?

The holder reads Sigismund/ polan
25 Kresser This coin also has no date in one place. it has a 1 6 on the obv. and a 25 on the rev.

Bring on the ancients!

O.K. civitas, here we go. I think at this point we should at least stay with coins made from some type of metal.
That being the case lets start in China where metal was used as coinage in large amounts, even if they did not have the shape down. How would you like to carry a pocket full of coins around with corners. No pockets left after a heavy day at the market. I will post these three and then go on a search for others.

The first is a Warring States Chinese coin from 475 B.C. I am not even going to talk to NGC about a slab for this one.

Next is a Ptolemy the 3rd from Egypt

Then a Potolemy the 13th from Egypt/ 81 B.C., I guess this one is AU it still has mint luster Ha Ha
