Country? Denomination? Series? Date? Mint mark, if any? Grade? Specifications? (Photo of Reverse?) Registered, meaning what? 

It’s a 2017 Palau 5$ Gold sand dollar

I present to you the elusive Malawi "Purple Frog" coin.  1 of 7.  I REALLY thought someone would bid more than I. ;-)

I'm actively looking for the even more elusive "Panamanian Gold" frog coin.

Finally added a German empire 1909-F (stuttgart mint) “25 Pfennig” KM#18 to my collection for long time I wanted one in a PROOF which is very scarce to find … After little negotiating with a German dealer overseas we finally agreed on a price… The airtite is dirty in pictures this coin is actually spotless !!! Bright mirrors it’s hard to say how many of these proofs really exist from each mint in Germany

I bought my first foreign coins just this past Tuesday. Nothing major except for this old coin (well, sort of). It cost me less than $5 CAN; I I used Paint.Net to cover the price in the image. I did buy it from a reputable antiques store here in Edmonton. It was part of a collection that was sold to the store.

I picked up it and 11 other lower grade coins* for just under $12 CAN.

* Nothing above AU; not officially graded by a grading company. Mainly unofficial VF/XF coins.

Anyone ever collect some of German medalist Karl Goetz’s medals ? His books are harder to obtain than some of his medals ! Hardest one for me to get was orange book “Gotez II” took me a few years searching before I found one for sale !!! … Usually these Goetz books pop up on European auctions from time to time bring crazy prices in upward $300+ …. Just glad to have them in Numismatic Book/catalog collection
