Don’t worry @Boosibri, I’m only going to collect aluminum Irish coins struck before 1884. But I’ve decided to collect Chilean coins by date.

Good luck with Chile. Fools errand in my opinion.

One of those weeks where the weekly HA world coin auction was kinda loaded with stuff right up my alley.

This was a date I needed for my 960R set. Better date.

1811-B is definitely a better date

First impulse purchase in a long time.

I was hoping someone would ask, but nobody did, so I will.

What does LCW on that slab mean?

bosox · April 19, 2026 1:25PM

Leonard C. Wyon, the engraver who designed it. His initials are on the neck truncation. At least one very lightly used 1870 die did not have the initials and produced a very scarce variety. PCGS calls that the "No LCW" variety. The No LCW die was likely a trial die that was later used up coining business strikes.

Do you have a copy of the Leonard Wyon family tree along with you, Rob? You have MANY Wyon pieces, but mostly Canadian/Brit

bosox · April 19, 2026 3:27PM

I have a copy of Forrer's book on the The Wyons, which is the best description of their entire engraving family I have found.

I love these, I wish I knew how to take pictures of the toners!

Picked this up recently for my “one per monarch” set. I thought it went very reasonably, and it rings in at a lowly VF, which I believe to be mostly a strike issue, rather than actual wear. Do I wish it had a full face? Yes. But under $300 for what’s probably at least a choice XF? also yes.

Great piece 🍒

The start of my 1908 specimen set. The first coins struck in Canada as the boxes that they came in advertised. They tend to come dark, this is no exception, but it comes alive in the light. This is a 64, which is a pop 16 with only 1 higher (which is a 64+). PCGS and NGC aren't going to grade these 65 and above it seems, but I imagine ICCS would have this at 66.

Baylor8670 · April 29, 2026 5:59PM

Just received this 157.65 gram MS61 L.E. Bruun medal purchased from Stacks. Thinking about having it conserved to get rid of the crap on the reverse.

1995 South Africa silver 2 Rand F.A.O. commemorative. Originally authorized for 10,000 copies, only 1,743 coins were sold.
F.A.O. is a niche corner that I decided to collect with many rare/low mintage coins and different metal variations...

I just got a few of my new and "new old" purchases back from PCGS. Overall happy with the results except this is my last time I send them Swiss specimen coins. They used to be really good at grading these, really good. They have lost there way the past couple of years. My Swiss dealer has even offered to sit with them to explain how to tell SP coins but they were not interested. I don't know how they lost this expertise but it seems if not DCAM they will not call them anymore. I have gone from a 90% success rate to below 20%. They used to be very good at this. I will try NGC going forward.

This is a SP coin but not graded that way

This SP they got right

This was in an old small white ANACS 62 slab that I thought was a better coin when I saw it. It is very PL. The colors are better in hand.

I bought this extremely rare 1837-B Peru pattern 8R. While it’s AU Details, I’ve never seen another (in copper. There is one known in silver from the Millennia Sale that sold for mid-5 figures.).

Designed by Barre and probably struck in France, the reverse die is identical to a 8R-size medal I recently bought from Monaco. Notice the “8R” is replaced by a sunface.
