Post your newest world coins here! Bring on the pics!

brg5658

Type2 had a good suggestion in another thread, and I am always happy to have some eye candy to look at. There are lots of awesome coins in this forum, and by all means continue to create separate threads for more in depth information on any particular coin. Let's just make this one a "picture book" of the sorts of new world acquisitions. Maybe there is another thread like this already buried somewhere in the world forum here (?) but I didn't see it on the first few pages of history.

I'll start with my newest world acquisition. I picked up this shilling last week. Great luster, and I'm a sucker for the "bull head" George III design. It's the "RRITT" variety, with the die flaw making the "B" look like an "R" to the right of George's forehead.

An older newp but a favored one - undergraded by board consensus ...its in a AU53 holder (PCGS)..here it is for those that did not see it .
Honduras 4 Reales 1852 TG


A real newp;
Bolivia 4 Soles 1855 - will have it graded soon.

TwoKopeiki

Good idea. I like a single "Post your most recent acquisition"-type posts.

I have a few raw 8 Reales coming from the recent Aureo sale, but in the meantime here are a couple of my recent acquisitions. Both are Carlos IV (1803 and 1804) and both are in PCGS MS63:

Very very nice. That's what i'm talking about this is some classy stuff









Just put in a holder today but alot of die scratches.

LochNESS

What is that first piece? I really dig the design of both the rev and obverse. I usually don't like the busts on asian obverses but that guy's hat and military outfit is pretty neat

Love that 1817 Shilling

Awesome pieces everyone! I love these ongoing type threads. I just make a bag of popcorn and dive in for the eye-candy!

I'm still looking for a "matching" 10C piece, but here are the 1C, 2C, and 5C Belgian Congo minors I have picked up recently.

<< <i>What is that first piece? I really dig the design of both the rev and obverse. I usually don't like the busts on asian obverses but that guy's hat and military outfit is pretty neat >>

It's a Hung Hsien Commemorative Y-332 (1916) China Republic Issue.

You guys with your treasures, you probably all have trophy wives and ferraris, try to love this p.o.s.

My last purchase was an Australian 5c Die Cap error. Based on the provenance of the piece it's probably a 1969 and extremely rare.

from the "not so dark" side, a 1951 Arnprior Dollar with a reverse AND an obverse die break...
Die breaks are so far not known....

Picked this up this week. Got a new camera and lens and if I learn to use them I will post better pics.

My new 20 cent pice.

Duki, all newps are created equal! What's the story behind yours? Is it part of a set? Do you collect hole-y coins?

duki

Yikes, called out!

No really good reason for this coin, I did notice there are apparently 2 varieties for this date and got interested in trying to fig out which this one was, I think the privy marks are large or small(?) on this year.


I recently also bought these less than impressive coins

Need to buy, little funds scenario?














But I also got this, thanks boz11 !
My first foray into nice graded coins,





love all the really nice coins I see here all the time, 
Thanks for sharing.

GotTheBug

There's something about a nice circulated Newfoundland coin that I like

ColonelKlinck

Here is one of mine...Still waiting for it as it is in the mail from Deutschland!

ColonelKlinck

And another...also enroute

LochNESS

Oooo, I love the proof strikes!

Duki, I've always thought those cornucopia Francs are neat. But mostly I like the eagle with arrows on the Napoleon piece. Most of my 19th century coins are in similar condition, FWIW. Who says just because I have some nice graded coins, I can't enjoy some circulated raws?

Anyway I digress … here's my newest NEWP! so fresh it's still in the mail

YQQ

wow... what a coin... one needs to wear sun shades to look at it..

duki

Thanks for the understanding loch ness,

The colors on your new piece are insane.

brg5658

This new piece arrived today.

brg5658

It was a 2.5 year hunt to find this one. It arrived over the weekend.

TwoKopeiki

Is that proof really dated 1896? Wonderful coin!

LochNESS

Ditto! Awesome proof

Brg, you have some really great coins!

mnemtsas2

Awesome proof indeed

Here's a Netherlands/Holland 1748 10 Stuivers. AU58.

brg5658 Holy Cow!

I really like that obv. The hat, scepter and pillar remind me of Greco-Roman designs. It's not Liberty, right? Who is it?

mnemtsas2

<< <i>I really like that obv. The hat, scepter and pillar remind me of Greco-Roman designs. It's not Liberty, right? Who is it? >>



It's the Greek goddess, Athena. She's holding a spear and resting her arm on a book atop a pillar. It's generally accepted that the book is the Bible.

brg5658

<< <i>Is that proof really dated 1896? Wonderful coin! >>



It is indeed dated 1896 -- but this proof version is a mid-20th century restrike of the original non-proof 1896 design. I know that this proof was struck in less than 1,000 pieces, but finding exact mintage information for pieces like this is a bear. It's graded Proof 67 Ultra Cameo by NGC. I know there are a few others out there graded, but they must be in strong hands...as I said, I hunted for this piece for 2.5 years to find one with cameo contrast.

LochNESS

Thank you, mnemtsas2 for the education!

Hey, since the Greeks were one of the first cultures to translate the Torah from Hebrew [into Greek], and the King James bible was translated from [among other sources] the Greek Torah, I'll just note that she's resting her arm on a bound Torah "wah wah wah wahhhh"

Brg … OK seriously … I still love the coin but I was just SLIGHTLY disappointed to read that it's a re-strike. But only slightly. It's still very awesome and you should flaunt it everywhere proudly. It was still minted in 1896, right? So it still has the age factor. And I am always fascinated by re-strikes because how in the heck do they manage to strike it so cleanly without showing double-die or overstrike evidence?!?

HoledandCreative

Not a bad chunk of silver.

LochNESS

I'll never get tired of pillar dollars. I even bought a copy once, just because the cameo and deets were so purrrty.

I'm one of them who believes our dollar sign ($) comes from the pillar.

But mostly I love it because of the two globes, signifying the Old and New Worlds. Such an awesome design.

brg5658

Picked up this nice little coin in last week's Heritage world auction. These little 1Rs have a lot of charm, and this one has a good amount of luster left and just the right amount of crust!

brg5658 - you have been shopping! And doing it quite nicely! Imaging to boot!

Paul, that is a very cool portrait. His beard and facial features seem well-defined compared to what I'm used to seeing of that period. The toning is pretty, too!
