    I am always looking for Viking ships on Coins & Medals. I have over 200 different, so new ones are now hard to find.

    Swedish Plate Money, Real, Copies or Fakes. I am also interested in any written information or books about Swedish Plates.

    I am currently getting into large copper coins from anywhere. Copper coins larger than a US Half Dollar.

    Please PM me if you have any of these.

    Thanks,

    Bob
    I like Ikes!! But I especially like Viking Ships, Swedish Plate Money, and all coins Scandinavian.

    Lord M and Auldfarte.

    Downies in Australia is conducting an auction for the Reserve Bank of Australia at the end of this month, they are disposing of a great many sovereigns.

    Should be some good buying opportunities, I will be attending.

    1887 is an interesting year for Sovs. Melbourne and Sydney Mints made young head sheilds and St george Reverses as well as the Jubilee portraits.
    So 1887 has 8 different sovereigns if you count the proof from London .

    Hi guys!

    A few of my priorities include (but are not limited to) the following:

    2003 dated coins for my daughter Fiona. A legacy set I am building, and since she is only two (along with the coins) I would prefer to buy now coins in UNC and proof condition. But hey a deal is a deal so let me know.

    Russian. Anything. If I can afford it, I want it.

    Toned coins both lightside and dark, but preferably cheap. As much as I would be happy to add a rainbow toned Bust dollar to my toned collection, yeah right. I'd have to sell my kidneys. For the down payment.

    Also, any nice 1951 coins for my Mom would be cool too.

    A 1927 proof crown @ a reasonable price. FDC or nFDC. If you have a 1927 Brit proof set, you can sell the crown to me, put the threepence on ebay and make a profit already, I believe this date only exists in proof so 3d collectors like Avarel for instance, need to have it for their set.
