Post your most recent acquisition: World 6 6

[RareSov]

A fair few UNC syd mints dont have the full braiding lines below her ear. The fine detail in the hair is also pretty much perfect, an early strike, I am expecting MS64 the more I look at it. Purchased as Choice UNC

[bsshog40]

Some very nice world coins listed here since the last time I looked.

[Yarm]

I just updated my Conder gallery to include this one from Skidmore's churches and

gates. The designs on these are quite simple but I thought the bible was neat!

My 3 newest additions to a themed set I have been building for years......Portugal, Isle of Man and Israel coins......

[Yarm]

This undated 51 mm medal in white metal depicts the United States pre Louisiana

Purchase (1803) and shows Australia as New Holland. I have no idea of its actual

vintage and wonder if anyone recognizes it?

Yarm,

 

I have never seen that one before but I must say that I love it. Let me know if you every eant to part with it. Excellent Piece.

[jackson64]

it looks to be a nautical item...I'd love to have it to include with my collection of sailing ship themed coins...if you ever do decide to part with it or see another I would be VERY interested..

[jackson64]

My newest acquisition...another sailing ship-explorer. This coin is from Cuba

 

PS: what is the law-are there any restrictions on buying Cuban coins? I mean if it's illegal to trade in Cuban goods? If anyone knows I'd be appreciative...I'd hate for the coin police to come and confiscate my collection...

[rbrown4]

Jackson,

 

A real nice looking coin there. I have bought several cuban coins but have always purchased here in the US, so I am not sure about the pros and cons or legalities of purchasing outside of the US such as directly from Cuba.

 

As a side not, I like your nautical series, much like my railway/railroad series. I will see what I have in my collection that may peak your interest.

 

PM me lets talk.

Nice guess on the sov Rey, MS63

 

Feel a bit let down, but its premium for a 63 (Hopes it comes back with a *)

Hello, everyone.

 

I'm mainly a U.S. type collector, (i know...BOOOO HISS) but also dabble in foreign with an emphasis on Music related coins. (I am a pianist/composer). Anyway, this is most recent foreign (dark side) acquisition. (Lets see if I can remember to post the PICTURES along with my post this time.) It is a hefty 5 ounces of silver.

 

Glad I discovered the "dark side"!

Pouring and very windy here in the Rhode Island sticks. Reminds me of my hurricane days growing up in Miami.

Jackson,

 

As a side note to your question on Cuban Coins, the recent edition of Worldwide Coins mentions that since North American Coins are popular with American Collectors, and with millions of Americans of Cuban decent, some of these coins may be considered sleepers. Based on what happened to German and Russian coin prices after the fall of the Berlin Wall, world coin collectors can expect the coinage of Cuba will increase in value if Cuba is no longer a Communist state.

[jackson64]

thanks for the tip Rey, coincidentally I just purchased another Cuban Silver 10Pesos coin today....I'll post a pic of it when it arrives in the mail..

[Yarm]

Here's something with a musical theme from a dark and musty area of the darkside

 

[Zoins]

That Middlesex Forster's 302 is pretty sweet. I like the musical notes

[RI AL]

Good morning, Yarm

 

The God Save the King medal is beautiful. The musical notation is actually accurate. Kind of clever. several composer coins, mainly from Europe also have fragments of well known compositions on them. If there is any interest here, I'll dig around and see what I come up with for posting.

 

Have a great day and thanks for sharing.

[bsshog40]

Nice pickup Dooly. It's always a pleasure when your able to find a coin you've been waiting a long time for. Congrats!

[jackson64]

although not nearly as exotic as some of the wonderful coins I've seen on this thread..I do enjoy adding new coins to my Sailing Ship themed collection......my newest addition from the British Virgin Islands...

[bsshog40]

Nice coin Jackson!

[dooly]

Dooley,

 

Can you tell us a little about this piece. It is interesting.

 

Rey

 

Hi rey .. sure can

 

The token is a Duke of northumberland perambulation token AKA. these tokens were given to people by the Duke so they could prove to his Keepers/tenets that they had is permission to be on his land.. or they would have been shot or kicked off.

 

Do you have anything similar in the USA ?

 

dooly

[rbrown4]

The Hatfield and McCoy Tokens.

 

lol

 

Seriously, not that I know of but there could be. Nice piece.

 

Also a beautiful Cameo Coin there Jackson. Love the Reverse.

The design for this medal by Pingo was exhibited in 1775. Examples may have been struck

to commemorate George III's meeting with the first American ambassador to Great Britain (John Adams)

in 1785. I was impressed by this particular bust of George III but have no idea what the engraver was thinking

with the depiction of Liberty. (Perhaps the model was a pregnant Paris Hilton of that era?!)
