Show Off your latest purchase-International Edition!

BillyKingsley

The Show off your latest purchase thread in the US Coin section is one of the most interesting threads there-let's see one for coins from around the world!

I'll start off-
Here's my first Candian Half Dollar, and my second Canadian silver piece, along with my first Ancient, from Rome that I traded Lord Marcovan for.




Here's an assortment of European coins. Mostly from Ireland, where I got them from a friend. Two are Pre-Euro. There are also two British coins, and Euros from Spain, France, Finland, Belgium and Germany. Except for Finland, they are the first Euros I have from each country. The German 2 Euro features edge lettering AND reeding-the first I've seen of that combination, and only my 7th edge lettered coin overall. I now have every Euro denomination except the 2 Euro Cents.




I traded a Star Wars action figure for all these and a few others that were duplicates!

Since then I've also gotten a Churchill Crown from board member Blackhawk but no picture yet!

Great coin Boz................must be something I can't see in the photo. Sure looks better than a 63 to me.

theboz11

IMHO this is a shoe in 65 or higher. The coin has Greenies in several areas. Anything that looks dark is green. Debating on whether to treat them and resubmit or not.

newbiecollector

Well I just did an olive oil soak on an old copper and it worked very good. It wasn't the greenies but whitish residue I think was left from an earlier dipping.

theboz11

That white residue was old fat and hand oil build up, on some old medals it is Wax

I ordered the 73mm version of a world map medal (c 1820) to go with my little (50mm) example.
Expecting a 2 1/2 ounce medal in white metal, I got the piece shown below, 5 1/2 ounces in bronze.
Really can't complain!

Nice medal, I've only seen a couple of those, and not near the condition of yours

Nice brockage Blackhawk

1882 Serbia 20 Dinare

(sellers picks)



It seems to have a couple of small rim knocks on the obverse (3 and 4 o'clock), but I won it for a good price and they don't come up for sale that often. It is a one year type.
