JamminJ is an exceedingly tough act to follow.

I don't have any good pictures of my favorites, but here are some that I've sold in the last little while (with the exception of the first two, which I just got). The last, the 1558 ANACS EF40 Saxony thaler, was a definite favorite. Too bad the picture sucks. The Prussian 3-mark I posted was a cameo proof, though you wouldn't know it from my wretched scan.

1901 Prussia 2 Marks ...

prophet · April 2, 2005 3:14PM

Lovely coins. JamminJ , I can only wish that someday I have at least one coin as nice as what you've got. That 1790 1K is breath taking!

hookedoncoins · April 2, 2005 3:25PM

Beautiful coins! That 2 mark that AuldFart posted is one of my favorite designs.

JamminJ - Wow! The condition on those coins is incredible. Some really nice designs as well.

As for my own collection... I don't think I have much to compare with what has been posted, but here is one that I have. It is a restrike, but I always kind of liked the design (not my picture):

JamminJ · April 2, 2005 4:56PM

Thanks for the kind comments! Since there will never be a better thread to show off the bulk of my colleciton here are a few more I don't believe have been posted before:

I knew I had an Austrian around here somewhere ... sorry for the crummy pic. Taken with the old camera, but it really looks silver.

Got mine from eBay a while back. Only one I've seen listed to date. It is silver and @ 39mm in diameter. Cacheman has the cast version which is @ 90mm in diameter. I think I got mine for around $200 (about the high end of what it normally goes for but well worth it to me).

T'was a cheap $15 thrill...The color looks better than the pic.

ClausUrch · April 4, 2005 5:36AM

Something a bit more modern.

tbirde56 · April 4, 2005 11:45AM

Nazis Suck! But this BU 50 pfennig is worth a look even if a pic doesn't capture its true brilliance.

looks familiar ?

JimK · July 8, 2008 11:32AM

How about some modern Austrian Commemoratives...
Some of these are pretty nice!

I was trying to use Spacemonkeys reflection template and realized my Photoshop Elements was so old it didn't have the merge feature so I couldn't do the reflection. At least I finally got the coins to fit!

(time to go software shopping I suppose)

I bought a new camera yesterday so I will have to see if I can get some better images of my Austrian and German coins. I had to really work on this one to get some of the reflection off the plastic out of the image. Hope it didn't come out too bad...

Silvereagle82 · July 8, 2008 1:07PM

Nice start Prophet

JimK · July 8, 2008 1:12PM

Here's the next one...

I think this template works better for proof coins. I didn't edit the pic this time so hopefully it comes out better!
Jim

JimK · July 8, 2008 1:26PM

Last one in the 500 Schilling denomination. This is the 800 year Anniversary of Holy Cross Church.
Probably my favorite.

JimK · July 10, 2008 10:13AM
