    Nice pickup Zohar. I was wondering which ones were on your target list. Did you notice the interest in the Hungarian Rudolf II piece today? Lot 22023.

    That piece has really been hyped. I have never seen such pricing for the piece.

    I won 7/9 tonight and at some very low bids (save for 1). If I had had more of a budget, I would have been buying the Brit like crazy. Mostly cheap IMO.

    I thought some of the early copper was going very cheap so got these while the getting was good. The Ch. II 1/2d is in a PF58 holder. The William and Mary 1/2d is in an MS62 holder and the obverse is the best I have seen on one of these, almost no porosity and nicely struck. While the reverse is not as nice it's still above average.

    The Charles II P-404 is one of the official patterns engraved by John Roettier. The figure of Britannia on the reverse is considered by some to be a likeness of Francis Stewart Duchess of Richmond, although there is no real evidence for this. The revese legend reads 'I Claim the 4 Seas', this was removed for the regular issue coins. Population is 2/0, and it sold really cheap I thought.

    Dies for this issue were engraved by either James or Norbert Roettier and although rolled and cut blanks were specified cast blanks were often used, I think this one is a pop1/0 coin and was really surprised at how cheap it was.

    Couldn't resist buying a second of this type.

    image

    Diameter: 25.6 mm.
    Weight: 7.3 gr.
    Edge: Smooth.
    Obverse: Palm tree; "Israel" in Hebrew and Arabic.
    Origin of motif: Bar-Kochba coin
    (132 - 135 C.E.).
    Reverse: The denomination "100 Pruta" and the date in Hebrew; two stylized olive branches.
    Alloy: Steel 90%, nickel 10%.
    Date of issue: April 21, 1955.

    The utrecht variety is one of the most famous rarities in the Israel trade coin series. The smaller wreath (farther from rim) variety was struck using in the Royal Dutch Mint at utrecht. Sylvia Haffner writes: "The 1954 reduced size 100 Pruta was withdrawn from circulation shortly after issue when it was discovered that the similarity in size to the 50 Pruta led to confusion between the two. The number of coins destroyed is not available. The difference between the Berne and utrecht dies was not discovered until 1960, three years after the coins were released in 1957.

    Only about 1,000 of the utrecht die variety are presently believed to exist. Most I have seen are in VF-XF condition.

    Thanks to Andy's (Mr. Eureka) representation, I scored BIG at the auction with 13 won lots! Stuff that hasn't seen the light of day for many years! If anyone is interested (Roman or Bill image ), please PM me. I'd like to post pics, but I've been on my wife's computer for six weeks now (mine is in litigation with my computer guy) and can't post pics myself (or links). Any generosity on that end would be greatly appreciated.

    Did anyone here win this one? Seems like it was one of the great bargains of the sale.
