Weekly Newps! POST EM!

So, after a crazy holiday season, we can all go happily back to doing what we do best:

Wasting an inordinate amount of time and money on purchasing coins.

As you all can see, I have been a busy boy this week.
(And a broke one too, I might add.)

In a nod to MadMarty:

1966 Balboa

2001 1/10 Balboa

Fiona's 2003 Collection Additions:
(I really like the Russian stuff.)

2003 2 Rupee India

2003 Russia 10 Rubles (1)

2003 Russia 10 Rubles (2)

2003 Russia 10 Rubles (3)

2003 Russia 10 Rubles (4)


Some British, with really crappy photos!!

British 3d, 1915, 1919, 1921

And of course, some sweet British India:

1862 1/4 Anna

1840 1/4 Rupee, Silver


Thanks for looking!

Also have some sweet stuff from Spinaker coming too!

    The 10 ruble coins are very nice. I got some of them in circulation while I was in Russia. Even those coins are minted in millions, they get hoarded up by everyone for some bizarre reasons. I guess everyone is trying to get a coin each or they get exported overseas too fast.

    Perhaps, the Central Bank of Russia should just remove the existance of 10 rubles note to get those circulated. I mean, come on, 10 rubles is just 30 cents or something. I wouldn't like those toilet paper notes to continue circulating.

    I need to keep up with the 10 rubles collection - there are just too much right now and actually ruined how I wanted to collect a full set, darn Russians dared to issue these four coins:

    Here are some recent purchases:
    imageimage

    This (obviously) is a 1979 Belize gold $100 coin. Currently the only gold in my birth year collection.

    This is my new 1979 Solomon Islands $10 for the silver set. I had to buy the whole proof set to get a reasonable price. Think this might make DCAM?

    The first time I saw MadMarty's weenie coin I knew I had to have one. Again, 1979.

    FilamCoins, that Rappen is burning my eyes! Nice!

    I am doing my best to restrain myself from purchasing anything until I can rebuild my coffers. My eyes were bigger than my wallet in Nov.

    I understand WorldCoinGuy.

    Nice Constantine, Steve! I nearly picked up one of those the other day, but I have no knowledge about ancients whatsoever, so I had no idea how much I should pay for it.

    I've been wanting one of these for years. Finally the cash and right coin came together at the same time.
