Nice coin brg5658.

 

Here is my recent MS-65 Swiss G 20 Franc!

[CyberspaceVoid]

Very nice, Pianoman .... MS65's in these are hard to find.

[joeyuk]

Picked this up raw.

 

[najat]

These came out nice.

Last two.

Very nice, Najat!

Just received British Historical Medal #3177, 76mm, 293gm by J.S. and A.B. Wyon. It's part of the City of London series of medals and records the 1884 opening of the new council chamber.

They didn't skimp on the detail of the interior of the chamber.

Bob, that medal is insanely beautiful! (thumbs u

[CyberspaceVoid]

Amazing! Now why can't our engravers do things like that today?

[brg5658]

Amazing! Now why can't our engravers do things like that today?

 

In their defense, they aren't working with a 76mm coin. But, I definitely hear ya!

[Yarm]

There's another dimension to the engraving when a medal's 9 1/2 mm thick!

I have 2 examples of the 500 million mark notgeld but just had to get this set of 3 - 1923 Germany hyper inflationary notgeld (emergency money)

 

1923 Germany 50 Million Mark notgeld

 

 

1923 Germany 100 Million Mark notgeld

 

 

1923 Germany 500 Million Mark notgeld

 

 

About the coin/s: Kienast K-644 - Ruhr & Rhein German people's offering 1923.

Obv. Legendless. Central design is Prometheus chained to a rock with an eagle picking at his liver.

Rev. Legend: DEUTSCHES VOLKS-OPFER RUHR u. RHEIN 1923 50 MILLIONEN MARK (German people's offering Ruhr and Rhein 1923, 50 million mark). Central design is an eternal flame.

On the edge: NOTGELD (Emergency money)* incused.

In addition to the above there are 2 other coins with the value of 100 million and 500 million mark, respectively.

Struck - 33 mm in diameter. The 50 million value in brass. The 100 million value in white metal or silvered bronze. The 500 million value in gilded metal. Designed by the famous German medalist Karl Goetz.

An 1887 medal (38mm) by W. Wyon for the 50th year of Victoria's reign. A bit of a different look for Victoria compared to many of the medals issued for the occasion.

 

[brg5658]

Gorgeous medal Yarm! Even if the "elder Vicky" isn't quite as beautiful as the young head portrayal.

[Brol]

Newest addition to my Lithuania 1925 - 1938 collection.

Very nice coins. Adjust the white balance as I am seeing them very red on my screen.

[Colorful World Coins]

It might be your monitor color settings. All the coins look good on my screen.

[brg5658]

I agree with Zo444 -- all of the coins posted by PolishSilver have a massive red-shift. Though, they still look to be lovely coins.

BHM #526, Union of Ireland and Great Britain, 38mm in white metal by Hancock and Kempson.

 

[nunfa0]

Very nice!! Here's a couple of newps for me, PR68 Ucam for the Canadian dollar and MS66 for the Swiss 10 franc

[Yarm]

I received my first PCGS medal in one of their mid-size holders. The medal is 48mm in high relief and the holder looks like it could easily accommodate a medal up to at least 70mm.

I've been unsuccessful so far in trying to photograph through the slab, so here are the seller's pictures.

26226844-005

Please add Ceylon competitive support!

Thanks!

[brg5658]

A new horse coin. VERY flashy coin in hand.

 

[Taler Universe]

Never seen that horse type before. Super nice.

[nunfa0]

Great horse coin!!

Compared to Conder tokens (which were saved in quantity), it's tougher to find uncirculated examples of the "industrial" British tokens of 1811-12

as catalogued by Withers. Most were used in commerce and were not produced or imitated to cater to token collectors. Here's an example

of a twopence (Withers-910) in decent condition from a recent Eric P. Newman sale.

 

[Crackout-migration]

Here's my latest Sovereign for my type set. I still prefer the classic St. George & the Dragon, but this Diamond Jubilee modern version isn't too bad.
