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

PCGSPhoto

An after-hours pickup at the Long Beach Show. A Basel City View 1/2 Thaler. Cool design, flashy surfaces (see below). It has a bit of a weak strike in the center, but I thought it looked really cool and it was a good value.

LochNESS

Wow, the second photo is so much more attractive IMO. I had to double-take to verify it was the same coin. Love it in the second one. Not so much in the first one, I would've passed. Great NEWP!

Here's a NEWP of mine:

To me, the differing views are kind of like seeing the city at different times of day. Or they have different moods to them. I find these coins really inspire the imagination. Plus I think that rooster-dragon is really boss.

That is a fantastic way of conveying the differences in photography. I may have to steal that line

Awesome eye appeal there in #1 and #3.

harasha

Nothing spectacular.
A cash of the Southern Song Dynasty. Emperor Ning Zong, second year of his Jia Ding reign.
The second item is a worn example of mining company scrip, out of Mexico.

I thought that I was the only one interested in the 1949 Mexico 1898 Peso Restrikes
made for Nationalist China by the Mexico City and San Francisco Mints.

I guess I wasn't the only one.

Here is my PCGS example of the coin:

So, why were they made? Cool website. That Mad Magazine poster of Disneyland is … really something else!

A really hard token in MS condition. I'm happy to add this one to the collection. I believe it is the Courteau 186 variety, listed as rarity R1 (but not R1 in this grade)

LochNESS

Very nice! and no streamers on the helmet, either! Interesting. Great definition on those cornucopia.

Type2

WoW Very nice guys keep up the good work, Good eyes every one.

From Heritage auction tonight: 1761 Munster sede vacante medal - NGC MS-62.

Brent what an awesome piece. You must have one of the better collections out there for Sede Vacante medals. Congrats!

Not an expensive purchase, but I really like these British copper pieces. This is the most common date for mint state George V farthings; evidently a couple of uncirculated rolls were submitted to PCGS.

Got this one for free from a dealer. It has two carbin spots but for free i'll take it.

Not great pics but it's the top pop for 1905 at NGC. 1/0

A couple new horses. The Canadian one sort of freaks me out -- a bit of a strange design IMO.

Bought this little hoard of mixed dates for melt or 1.25 ea not to bad i guess.

LochNESS

Never thought I'd say this, but Canada's year of the Horse design is pretty cool. I wasn't planning on buying any 2014 lunars but I might have to rethink that one. I wonder what harasha thinks.

As for the Britannia, nice to see an owl but I miss the shield. A lot. Gorgeous mirror fields, though.

Zohar

BRG - Found one myself not as nice as your at PF-64 some camouflage toning.

I don't have a picture of it, but I just bought one of these cute little Nibu-Kin from Clark Smith.

The new Conders I added to my collection this week:

illini420

Bought a 1903 US-Philippines Proof Set at Long Beach and had it graded... grades just came back:

5 1 28456452 90016 1903 1/2C U.S. Phil PR65+RB
6 1 28456453 90148 1903 1C U.S. Phil PR66RB
7 1 28456454 90217 1903 5C U.S. Phil PR66
8 1 28456455 90237 1903 10C U.S. Phil AU55
9 1 28456456 521160 1903 20C U.S. Phil PR63CA
10 1 28456457 90367 1903 50C U.S. Phil PR63
11 1 28456458 90402 1903 Peso U.S. Phil PR63

A few came out better than expected, a few not as good... but overall not bad... Wasn't sure the 10 centavo was a proof and I guess it wasn't. The copper from the set was really pretty and the reason I bought it:

I have always loved this Kruger Gray reverse design. Finally found a nice example, with a little cameo contrast. This is the most common of the E2 proofs, but still lovely in this grade.

Zohar

Very nice reverse indeed!

Type2

Just sent them in.
