jackson64 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Fabulous coin Yarm, I think that is the 2006 edition of Canada's Tall Ships series--"The Ketch"....I think the partial hologram is a great medium for the ship themed coins. Just a slight tilt and it seems to change the whole mood/feel of the coin. I just sent away the 2007 for slabbing at NGC, I'll post a pick when it gets back...but for now, here's the 2005 "Three Masted Ship"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsshog40 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Those are neat looking coins there Jackson. Ant, some very nice gold and silver there also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I normally stick with old, round, metal things but this old, oval, metal thing might come in handy if there is ever a Druid meeting in my area! W. Churchill reportedly belonged to Lodge 59 so I'd expect their meetings to be smoky and unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Is that a necklace yarm I was noticing the ring? at the top of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 The badge has a loop for suspension by a ribbon (or perhaps a cord woven of human hair! )) It would look great against a dark cowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackson64 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 just got this in the mail a few minutes ago...another Cuban coin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Cuba engaged in a blatantly capitalistic enterprise?! I'm shocked that Fidel would go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson64 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 that's an excellent point yarm...I also wondered about the legality of owning coins from Cuba--I mean if you can get in trouble for buying their cigars... ...here's a nice little find I just got ...it's an 1859 Danish West Indies 5C piece..I bought it for about $10 (thinking I overpaid) because it is even smaller than a US dime--was surprised that Krause lists it at $30 in XF..this is a very small coin do you think the tiny rim ding would preclude NGC from holdering it for me..I'd like to put it in my signature set of ship themed coins. I've never had a rim ding coin before that I felt was still worth purchasing..any input would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satootoko Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) My latest acquisition is a book which my daughter just sent me - The Silver Dollars of Africa, by John S. Davenport, published in 1959 by Whitman. Except for a few marked "very rare", the highest valued coin shown was KM#3, at $25. (Now listed at F-$300 to Unc-$1,270!)

Yarm Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Cool find Dooly! I'm sure it would look better with some professional attention but I suspect it would look better with just a good soak at home as well. Here's a medal with before and after images and a bit of "Care". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarm Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I dont' mind paying a bit of a premium for a cased medal if the case has kept it in great condition. Here's another Wiener medal, this time Charles Wiener, who. like Jacques Wiener shows a talent for displaying perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarm Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 About 15 years ago I picked up a colorful 8-piece Maundy set, primarily for the pretty florin and half crown. Just came across the 4 pence and thought it had some decent color in its own right, so here is my latest acquisition of images! Graded PF65 by the long defunct International Numismatic Grading Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
