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.

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 · September 28, 2013 8:33AM

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.

Thanks Z!

Your collection is amazing.

marcmoish · September 28, 2013 11:57AM

PolishS those three are really nice and for what its worth welcome to the boards

LochNESS · September 28, 2013 12:29PM

Yes, welcome indeed!

<< <i>Plus I think that rooster-dragon is really boss. >>

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:

LochNESS · September 28, 2013 1:32PM

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

brg5658 · September 28, 2013 2:19PM

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 · September 28, 2013 2:34PM

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

Just read a bit about eh 1898 restrikes on Willieboyd2s site, very interesting and never knew about it!

Won this one at Heritage, 1811 Eighteen Pence in PF63:

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

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.

12voltman · October 16, 2013 10:09AM

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

brg5658 · October 16, 2013 1:40PM

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

kimber45ACP · October 17, 2013 11:35AM

Type2 · October 20, 2013 12:32PM

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

LochNESS · October 20, 2013 2:36PM

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 · October 23, 2013 11:36AM

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

lordmarcovan · October 23, 2013 12:44PM

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

Type2 · October 23, 2013 4:13PM

The new Conders I added to my collection this week:

illini420 · October 30, 2013 9:31AM

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:

Zohar · October 30, 2013 9:46AM

brg5658 · October 30, 2013 11:22AM

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 · October 30, 2013 12:23PM

Very nice reverse indeed!

Type2 · November 1, 2013 1:54AM

Just sent them in.
