Not a really good picture, but a nice scarcity.

Not bought anything for a few weeks, this was the last coin to arrive.

Numismatics

Nice 1858 piece.





Still learning to take better pictures.

Cruzi - Beautiful proof. Mintage 773! Yowza!

Nice detail in the '35 cent. EF or AU? I'm a large cent guy. I always have trouble grading the little ones.

I am also still learning how to grade. I think EF45 sounds good this this '35 cent.

Lots of US for resale but in world material for my own collection this is the last purchase:

PCGS AU55.



PCI (gold label) MS60. Probably a bodybag from a better service, because of the apparent staple scratch near the arrows, but still a nice piece.



Have plenty of new Darkside, but nothing worth imaging.

The two Liteside pieces above were bought for resale in my antique mall booth. Can't wait to see 'em in hand.

MrEG: love the car on that. I have seen that design in Krause.

Nice stuff, everybody.

mrearlygold

Thanks and me too lordmarcovan. I thought I saw another coming up at auction but can't find it now. Speaking about not finding, can you all help me out with the recommendations on Conder token books please? I cannot find the thread from the other day.

I think it's the meds from the heart surgery and the lipitor. Never in my life have I been this absent minded. I quit the lipitor 5 days ago and am already noticing some changes ( please no jokes!)

Br.N.Borneo 25 cents 1929, 1 year type.

Here is mine that I bought today just because there was a coin fair which only occurs twice a year here. Quite a fair bit of Russian coins and they are getting ridiciously expensive these few days. My pocket still hurts...

Anyways here are my pictures, enjoy.

Just ordered these, so going off dealer pics for now (but his pics are always great!)

Very cool stuff there GXSeries

But you might want to take that 1838 5 kopek out of that holder and put it in a new one (maybe even give it an acetone wash first). When the coin's details are impressed on the plastic window like that it is usually a sign of PVC starting to take effect.

gxseries

Good idea, that 5kopek coin isn't in a very good condition.

Thanks!

SYRACUSIAN

I have lots of recent purchases, I've been very active lately,here's one of them:
an ex-Mac coin, still on its way here,a very high grade (67) early Swiss franc,rare like this,
part of a "massive" deal with many Swiss gems,that will make me very happy when they finally make it here.
The reason I don't have them in hand yet is because I was supposed to get them from Mac in San Francisco.





However,the most important purchase of the past 18 months for me,
is a rainbow toned Greek 1833A 5 drachmai NGC MS63,(Paris mint, I have a Munich mint in the same grade)
which the seller had as a prooflike and in his opinion it is a specimen.

Unfortunately it's not here yet and his photos are really terrible to show,
so I trusted more his reputation and opinions of friends,
as it was a very expensive and almost sight unseen purchase,
but too good and important to pass.

The Paris mint five drachmai are more rare than the ones from Munich
and although there was about a dozen of gems with a provenance from Eastern Europe in the early 80s,
(now in private collections graded by NGC as MS65 and 66)
this is the highest graded that I've seen for sale in a very long time and I doubt that there will be more like this in the near future.
Needless to say how big of an incentive its colorful toning was for me.
It will be resubmitted to PCGS for another shot at the SP designation and a good photo.
I Keep my fingers crossed.

Toren

Wowzers... now there's a coin with a *bang* and i'm not one for proof coins. But that coin is dreamy...

You're building one heck of a set for yourself there! I was impressed with your Young head and Jubilee head issues. But man that is gorgeous.

Now that is a beauty. Much nicer than the one i had too (although mine was an Henry VI rather than Edward III) But i can honestly appreciate a good Noble. Truely wonderful coins and you've got one that's the cream of the crop. Not even a crease!

Nice noble, Toren!

Now...I wonder who you got that from?

Sylvestius

Well i sold off my Henry VI annulet issue noble recently and bought two coins with the cash generated that have yet to arrive. And from money i saved up from my wages i bought another coin that i have with me. Plus since it was my 21st birthday last week i also got a decent bit of money from that too and purchased two other coins. So it's been hectic here.


So this is OUT (but i really enjoyed owning it!)





And these are IN


Joseph II 2 ducats of Austria





Louis XV 1/10th Ecu





Louis XVI 1/10th Ecu





Henry VI Annulet Issue Groat





and a King Eadmund Anglo-Saxon penny





I've a few more coins to dispose of and then i'm buying something that'll knock your socks off, and mine too...
