pendragon1998 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Here's a 2003 Silver Britannia (Helmeted Britannia) I just picked up. Most of her 8 sisters are going to be sold, but I might hang onto a few. The coin is brilliant and lovely but she's going to be sent packing once I find a certified version. Enjoy!

Doogy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Way to go Doogy !!! Nice coin. Wondering ... Have you given up on gold ?? Hi Conrad, nice to see you over here! nah, i still have a good deal of my gold. My wife asked me a pointed question recently. "if you're after the more artistic and beautiful world coins, why would you limit yourself to gold?!" duh, she had a point. I'm starting to branch out a bit with other stuff, picking it up when it strikes my eye. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarm Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks! As a way of dealing with the daunting # of tokens in D&H, I'm limiting myself to one nice Skidmore, Macclesfield, Wilkinson, Liverpool, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmarguli Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 While I don't have this one in hand yet, I confirmed today that it's on its way to me. It's a 1642 German (Augsburg) Taler. I've been looking for one of these for a while. Unc examples are available with some regularity, but are very popular and sell quickly. Described by the seller as having beautiful toning and the condition of "Superbe à Fleur de Coin (EF - Unc.)" which usually translates to Choice BU - Gem BU. The grading by the seller is usually fine, but this coin was priced way too cheap, so I'm a little nervous about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) This Conder token is Midd Kempson's 62, part of a series featuring British buildings. It makes me happy! Edited January 28, 2007 by yarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satootoko Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) 5 sen, Meiji 10 (1877), 1.34g .800 silver, ASW .0321g, Y#22, Type 1. The coin was graded VF by the seller, but in hand it displays considerable luster that unfortunately doesn't show up in my AG-grade images.

satootoko Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Don't know what I am doing wrong. Both pictures show up in my preview, but only the reverse is in the actual post.

farthing Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Could be a problem linking to cointalk. I copied the URL from the picture and could then display the coin in a new window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I find it pretty amazing that such a pristine reverse is can be mated to that obverse.. My feelings exactly. I will say, though, that my choice of lighting tends to accentuate the marks - the coin is rather nicer in-hand. Both faces would have looked similar, had I chosen to flood the picture. It'll be upgraded in the future. I want the nicest-possible '37 as I can't exactly afford something similar in a '38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
