I recently bought some nice Canadian coins, some prooflikes and other random moderns. For some reason, I like the quality of Canadian coins. Also, some have nice toning on them.

This series of 1848 10 Centimes derived from a contest held which included 41 different artist/engravers-this particular one by Tournier.

<< <i>A nicely toned 1928 (George V) commemorative 45 piastres from Cyprus in PCGS MS64. The only crown ever minted for British Cyprus has become scarce in nice high grades with original surfaces. I've been hesitating for quite some time for its very rare proof version (550 mintage), but finally decided that it wasn't worth it. >>
And I'll receive Syracusian's AU-58 hand-me-down soon.

Don't know exactly what's in it just yet, but an initial scan reveals no Churchill crowns.

<< <i>JamminJ, nice thaler. You don't find many of that variety in that nice condition. >>
Thanks!
Just a bit of wear on the high point but otherwise very pleasing. It's in an NGC AU58 holder, accurately graded in my opinion.

Sure I like the key date Morgans, Gothic Crowns and Goetz medals in your collection, but this one is really my personal favorite!

I bought this coin on Ebay for $36 two weeks ago.....Do you think I got a good deal? You can find one like it for sale at www.FredWeinberg.com for $135 PCGS MS64..........
I recently received some great Israeli coins from Shipcoin and no, I haven't forgotten my promise to post them, and yes, I will soon.

Here's my latest eBay win, hasn't arrived yet.
And another 1757 counterfeit from Rendel Ingram - No 1/2d's were struck for 1757
And a 1686 James II Half Guinea
And an Extremely Rare and nicely toned 1821 BBITANNIAR 6d
And an interesting and pretty high quality (for issue) 1691 Limerick Halfpenny
And the 1927 proof set in the sig line.... Unfortunately, being a peasant-like creature, I must sell my soul as well as my coins.....
Lloyd, same to you!!! I didn't know the 1775 error halfpenny was counterfeit. I take it the half guinea is also fake. So you can save the embarassment that must entail, by sending it directly to me.
Nice Limerick copper too. Have you kissed the Blarney Stone lately?

Talking about the Blarney Stone, I sold a coin to a guy the other day who OWNS Mallow Castle. £8.50 plus postage. I can't give his name or user id here because it's not the done thing but his family are from Washington DC and bought the joint in 1984.
I still haven't got off my knees, begging for free holidays. They charge Euro 16-18K per week for a party of 8
Back to the point, the Stone is around the corner from here (I believe?)

<< <i>I last visited Limerick in 1988. I'll try to scan a photo of me kissing that stone.

Thanks - I can put it on the mantlepiece to keep the kids away from the fire...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Lloyd, for this kind of money you can rent a nice sailing boat (40+ ft , 2-3 yrs old) and cruise the islands of the Aegean for two weeks. I'll even volunteer to be the skipper (no cooking though)
I apologize to hetman for this OT, but it was Jester who started it first.
