NEWPS from Yeti-land (more pics added!)

I've been lurking here far too long. Now I finally have some more time to get more involved again, so I think I'll get back into things with a picture post. image

These are only some of the coins I've bought over the past few months of my exile to Yeti-land. Your comments, as always, are appreciated!


Vicky farthing, 1881-H
This one from Karl Stephens, one of the few slabs I own: PCGS MS64 RD.

1/3 farthing issued for use in Malta
Raw red BU... imaged through a 2x2, thus the dust and "scratches".. this sucker is immaculate! there may be a micro-ding somewhere in the devices, but those fields, especially facing George, could probably hit 67+. An awesome coin overall image
image

France 5F, 1947
These large coins can be tough in high, mark-free states. This is a nice one. (But aluminum is always absurdly hard to photograph!)

Germany, Baden 1 kreuzer, 1852
I spent a few years in Karlsruhe, so of course I like the Badische Muenzen image
image


Many more to come! These aren't even necessarily the best, just the ones that I have decent pics of so far...

    France 5F, 1947 Very, very nice coin. Really difficult to find in a higher grade. Nice red farthing also.

    Yep, I just picked up a nice 1981 proof set from Wybrit... for my birthyear collection! image

    I left Karlsruhe in '94, shortly before it closed. PM sent, Preussen image

    That's true in more ways than you know! They're both really hit or miss image
