some coins purchased in Chicago or right before. image

Crete, 1901, one and two lepta.

image

image

I bought this Swiss 1952 franc as a specimen, still believe it is.

image

5 rappen 1918, a scarce one year type brass coin.

image

Bronze 2 rappen, the 1914 is a business strike, the 1931 is a specimen, in this grade the difference is not always that clear.

image

image

A billon 5 rappen, first year of issue.

image

An unlisted in Krause modern proof coin from Greece that was graded MS67

image

And the 1887 crown in big size.

    image The lustre looks pretty good on the Swiss pieces, except the 1914, which would not show much anyway due to the polished fields.

    Just be careful, with that new icon you may get the urge to start collecting Conder tokens.

    Number 8 is a proof, number 9 is a specimen and better than 65, otherwise I'm very glad with these.Number 7 was cracked out of an Anacs MS62 RED holder.

    Here's one last coin from that trip, a 1883 Swiss gold 20 francs, that graded MS64

    Dimitri:

    Good grades overall, but I could be blind and the Greek gold looks alot like a proofimage I just had the same problem across the street, one coin sent as a proof that came back as MS. Usually they slab EA's as proof and I have to send those back to get slabbed as MS PL.3Mark
    I'm traveling on memory and running out of fuel.
  • ROBERTBROBERTB Posts: 1,016
    I'd say you did quite well. image The Greek piece is of course a proof. Time to send it back for a review and re-holder.image
    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.
