A couple coins from the Portland show

[spiny]

There wasn't much foreign to choose from, which was a disappointment, but I managed to fill a few holes in my set. This Hawaiian was the best one I saw. No wear, but lightly hairlined, which got it an AU58. Others I looked at were lusterless and cleaned for the same price.

 

 

I also found a decent AU 1925 Guatemala 1/2 Quetzal. That leaves only the killer Quetzal for that country. A 1952 40 centavos pretty much completed Cuba also. Just have the gold to go. I should have gotten those before gold went up...

 

The Austrian Florin was just a nice looking coin, not part of my set. I didn't notice the little scratch until I took the picture, though.

I also like the florin!

 

I've been keeping an eye out for high grade specimans of that type, KM2222, with a thought to putting together a date run. Unfortunately my set currently contains but a single piece, also an 1878.

Date run?

No need for until I find a second date!

Well, I have an 1879 that is in superb condition. It's in at NGC right now.

 

For some reason I think you passed on this coin while we were at Long Beach. In fact, you passed on a bunch of great coins that time. Oh, I remember now, someone gave you the page of junk and kept the page of greatness for himself.

 

 

Hey, we should have grades tomorrow.

At least the junky page had the Ferdinand-Charles 3 kreuzer so I didn't get totally skunked:

Questionable Authenticity.
