Nice newps!

brg5658 · June 27, 2013 3:54AM

I guess you could say I went on a bit of a binge in the past 10 days:

TwoKopeiki · June 27, 2013 6:26AM

Well, if you're going to go on a binge, might as well do it right!

Canada - 1909C Sovereign

YQQ · June 29, 2013 6:54AM

EGB, that is one nice 1909C!!!!!!
hope it will make ms64...!

YQQ · June 29, 2013 6:54AM

first I was all excited seeing it and my mind was set on a 1908C...
well, maybe one day..

Canada - 1908C Gold Sovereign

NumbersUsacom · June 29, 2013 9:18AM

well... I tried

MrEureka · June 29, 2013 1:43PM

egb - What's the grade on the 09-C?

egb · June 30, 2013 2:22AM

Coins can be hard to grade by image/photo as opposed to in hand.
Some additional great comparison 1909C Sovereigns can be viewed in the auction archives at the Heritage website.
(including MS64 and SP65, etc).
My 1909C has good lustre and fields. No trace of wear - looks perfect or nearly+.
PCGS grades the coin as MS66

I don't disagree. I believe it to be deserving of the grade assigned.

Wow, Brett - very nice pillar!

I'm not surprised.

That gem sort of jumps of the screen at you .... POW!!! Very nice.

egb · June 30, 2013 7:41AM

The 1908C is a beauty! It is a Norweb example. One of three Norweb 1908C's that were high grades.
Being specimen: specimen coins were usually doublestruck on special polished blanks using special dies on a slow high pressure press, the process was managed carefully. Thus, greater details are easily seen in higher grade coins.
This one is SP66+, another out there is SP67 (probably one of the other Norweb's).

YQQ · June 30, 2013 8:44AM

wow.... I am speechless...
now I guess you are going to say you also have the 1916? and probably in SP66?
Ohh... how I envy some of you......
I actually bid on one some time ago in Britain and jumped ship at GBP 16500.

brg5658 · July 8, 2013 1:58PM

Two new pick-ups.

The one came from a dealer in Germany:

And, this nice Anglesey halfpenny Conder token came from Bill McKivor:

LochNESS · July 9, 2013 5:26AM

Nice, Brg! I've never seen an Anglesey before.

I have some NEWPs ... so so anxious to share but I'm waiting until they arrive in the mailbox

Type2 · July 10, 2013 3:57PM

LochNESS · July 10, 2013 4:45PM

off-center strike? and what happened on the rim of quadrant II

at first I thought your slab had silver prongs

ColonelKlinck · July 11, 2013 1:03AM

ajaan · July 11, 2013 1:37AM

I've always liked those Tunisian proof sets Klinck. I've owned a couple and they usually tone up nicely.

ColonelKlinck · July 15, 2013 3:32AM

TwoKopeiki · July 15, 2013 4:54AM

That's a gorgeous 5Mark, ColonelKlinck!

ColonelKlinck · July 15, 2013 7:11AM

I hope it looks as good "in hand" as it does from the sellers pictures! The hit in the obverse field at 10:00 is a bit disconcerting but I'm hoping the original surfaces make up for it.

coinkat · July 15, 2013 8:21AM

Hooooogaaaan!

Seriously- terrific coins and I like the Tunisian set as well. There is the Franklin Mint one and then the set from the Italian mint. I think the cases are different and the Italian set is tougher to obtain

coinkat · July 15, 2013 8:22AM

Modern Germany seems a tad slow which creates opportunity

Zohar · July 15, 2013 8:43AM

Zohar

i don't recall seeing one of these with surfaces like this-

Zohar · July 15, 2013 9:38AM

I haven't as well. It is very difficult to image. Has a few faint hairlines in obverse field otherwise pristine!

ColonelKlinck · July 15, 2013 10:11AM

You know, its amazing enough that a 200+ year coin can end up in such pristine condition taking into perspective the turmoil that has raged on the European continent in that time frame. It is a wonder that any coinage has made it past F-12!

LochNESS · July 15, 2013 5:18PM

True, but there are many cellars and catacombs

edit: also Europeans have tended to be very good about moving their precious belongings during wartime to avoid such pillaging and atrocities of which you spoke. Obviously this isn't always possible and too much has been lost, but even more has been saved. The biggest miracle IMO is the paintings and frescos. Coins are much more easily transported.

JerseyJoe · July 18, 2013 9:05PM

Everything here is just so cool. Makes my world coins seem like moderns.

LochNESS · July 19, 2013 7:28AM

+1 that Theresa is possibly the best toned I've ever seen.

and thank you!

Type2 · July 20, 2013 2:38AM

Thanks every one. A lot of nice coins on this post..... Keep up the good work.

brg5658 · July 23, 2013 8:53AM

A surprisingly difficult token in true MS. (the Canadian Colonial Tokens are all quite difficult in MS).

I've seen several of this type in low MS holders with that greasy "thumbed" copper look. This one has some nice color and great luster. I'm not sure what's holding it back at 63??

Zohar · July 23, 2013 10:55AM

brg5658 - very very nice!

Dennis88 · July 24, 2013 4:02AM

I've had this one for awhile but just had it graded...pop 3/0, a very scarce coin and with Malaya being hotter than a black car in the Texas heat probably a pretty pricey coin:

I'll say!!

From the pic it looks like at least an ms65.

This dude arrived yesterday!

Plans to re-image, meanwhile thanks to terribleredmonster for the free pics via his terribleredcamera (which has a cameo in the cameo! :funny

I'm trying to trace its history. A couple transactions back, and we're still talking forumites. If you used to own this slab please PM!
