Nothing earth shattering, but a few interesting pieces en route.
Belgian Congo 5 Centimes, 188/7. NGC MS63 BN.
Canada 25 Cents, 1900. I really like the appearance of this one, so I made an offer. It's sold as an EF40, but by U.S. standards I think it's more of an AU (at the very least an EF45).
The last 2 are Swiss pieces from the same seller... I've been gravitating towards Swiss pieces in the last few months. I don't intend to collect them seriously; I just like to pick up pieces that catch my eye. The 2-Francs is the better of the two pieces, just stunning toning. The 1-Franc doesn't appear to be quite as nice, but I'm hoping it will be nicer in hand. Both are NGC MS66. I had only originally planned to try to get the 2 Francs, but when it sold for less than I was anticipating, I decided to pick up the 1 Franc as a companion piece.
