Hooray, I got in first. We all know the drill.....anything new, let us see!

I picked up a nice 2 Rentenpfennig coin from Germany. As per normal, it looks better than my scan. The coin is AU with beautiful lustre that doesn't really show in the scan of my cheapo scanner. Unfortunately though, the coin has a fingerprint over the denomination.



Oh and don't forget to share your purchase price if you got a good deal. This baby set me back NZ$5 (about US$3, and the value in XF is US$7).
I've got a nice 5 Deutsche Mark 1977 (Carl Friedrich Gauss) and some coins from Vatican City: 50 Lire 1971 and 100 Lire 1955.
I just picked up this 1886 Sarawak 1 Cent.

I just added 9 beautiful coins thanks to a swap. 1 from Fiji, and 8 from New Zealand.

Hooray, New Zealand and Fiji. Two countries dear to my heart
I've picked up a small haul this month, instead of one expensive piece like I have been the last few months.

I won a collection of 7 UK Conder or Currency tokens yesterday ...

'Nice group of mixed farthings | 18th & 19th Century | Conder, Unofficial tokens'

I think I have only one of them (the balloon commemorative) already,
but even then my first one has a hole and is a different version.

Also won this the day before ...
'1813 Chatteris Farthing Token'

I now have three of them; the first I got was well worn, but I identified it,
and the second I got was good condition, and this above was a cheap price.
Most of my new additions are under investigaton in the ID section. I should add a new Rome coinage from Antioch to register and a strange coin from Lorraine with a countermark.

EDIT: the countermarked Lorraine coin is a Sol - Charles III with the alerion variety made to reduce its facial value from 12 deniers to 10.

Not a coin or token but a little side area I collect, I cant resist when I see one.
Paid a very small premium over spot.

My lights don't do it justice, in lovely condition with a nice colour.

I have more than 4 years in Numista, but those coins are from the first swap that I received.

I'm very happy and the coins are very nice!
In addition to the 10 authentically genuine "Ancient Chinese Spade Coins" :° I received the other day.
(Which will probably be on a necklace by the end of the weekend)


Today I received:

1969 Bahamas 1 Cent
1994 Nicaragua 50 Centavos
1992 Vatican City 200 Lire

Adding 3 new countries to my collection.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
No new country but still a new coin today: Argentine Provinces Un Decimo 1822.

I won this beauty, a dinar from the Marinid dynasty in Morrocco.

At 31mm (slightly larger than a U.S. Half dollar), this is now my largest gold coin (by diameter).

A lot of 40 different German states coins arrived today, from the same dealer who sent me a lot of 20 last month.

As a bonus he included the following medallion from Australia.



46.23 mm diam
3.4 mm thick
45.87 gr

I believe it is silver plated (edge shows a division not quite in the middle with the third toward the Exhibition side more frosted appearing than the 2/3 toward the swan side--I cannot photograph the edge with my current equipment) but cannot find much information on it or its possible value. It is not yet listed in Australian tokens on Numista as far as I can determine. Any comments of interest.

​If you asked me I paid 89 USD. I probably could've got it cheaper, but there was one aggresive bidder who pushed my limit to its maximum. But I mean, I'm a fan of the Danzig coins and since they are pretty rare here in Sweden I took the chance! :O

What a coincidence - just yesterday one of these turned up in one if the bulk lots I got, and I was going to ask on the forum for its value. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not, as I usually don't collect tokens though.
What's you copy like? If it's in decent condition then I'll take it off your hands. I'm sure I can find something you'd like in return.

These Faeroer issues are Danish coins minted by the Royal Mint for use in British-occupied Faeroer. They contain no Danish mintmarks and are struck in pre-war material, and not in aluminium or zinc like the Danish coinage of that year.

That these are listed under Faeroer is a bit of a corner case. Yes these coins were indeed intended only for use on the Faeroer Islands. Most likely the Danish government under German occupation did not authorise this issue. So issuing authority in this case is the Faeroer itself ordering coins from the UK. What speaks against it is that the coins look exactly the same as pre-war Danish coinage.

The Faroese coins were minted 1941-1942 and are pretty easy to spot from the Danish during the same years. 1-5 øre is in bronze and 10-25 øre is in copper-nickel instead of zinc. They also don't have the danish mint mark, the ♡.

Probably my last acquisition of the year arrived today a bulk lot described as cataloging $463 and sold at $50. Some of the coins are very worn and some are duplicates of coins I already own. But among the 37 coins was this Australian penny, KM# 23, the scarce 1919 variety with dot below bottom scroll and dot above top scroll, cataloging $125 in VF grade.

Beautiful King ( queen) Tamar` copper. Extra rare even without countermarks, but with two equal " Ⴃ " countermarks it becomes probably even unique.

​very nice ! That's PE10-32 I believe I can't tell best from the pics (can't zoom in on letters enough) but it's got toothed reverse border and A die cut on un furled mizzen sail ? Am I right ? If it is well done ! It's a type I've yet to acquire.
I never got a chance to put this up when I got it in Nov. A member offered this up for sale, and another member knew I would like it so he got it for me! Thanks

Its pretty Awesome, and an interesting time in the "penny"

My Trinidad 1 Stampee from earlier this month is now re-toned with nic-a-tone i know not everyone will agree with it but it's much better than its previously cleaned state :)

Mark, I've never heard of it but that's all toning is anyway, the metal reacting with chemicals. I don't see a problem with it as long as it can't cause verdigris.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins
Decided to treat myself yesterday as I spoiled everyone else this Xmas.

1902 Crown, very high EF+ grade, Bit pricey but well worth it. (The images are scanned, seller images, not mine)




Beautiful coin and had to have it, I wont be getting any more until next year. :°

My Mrs and son got me some cute crown sized sentimental bullion coins.

​Oh sweet! May I ask the eternal question... how much did you pay for it? ;)
