Some interesting pieces-first pics in a while

I haven't been around a lot lately-just too much going on in my world right now; but, here are
some new pieces, just a few of many acquisitions lately...

Austria 1800c copper 3K Nice chocolate coin-very pretty in hand.

Congo 1888/7 5 centimes The right edge of the 7 shows at top right of the 8, there is a ghost of the main stem of the 7 through the bottom loop of the 8, visible at 5x, not a good enough image for it to show here.

Cuba 1934 silver one peso- nice light golden tone to this coin

I thought this Swedish 1953 5 ore piece to be very interesting-not incuse, even though it looks like it.

I recently purchased a series of Vatican coins from the 1930's and 40's; remarkable designs and very inexpensive, despite very low mintages. This 1930 silver 10 lira has a purpleish hue that I'm not sure this image shows- but the madonna has a golden halo; tons of luster in this coin!

    Nice ones! I love the Vatican stuff. You may not like the design but it's always very well done.
