Hi all! I bought this beautiful coin but I am not sure I paid the right price. How much do you think is a right price?

Thanks in advance!

​My coin is Meiji Year 34 (1901) whilst yours is Year 30 (1897); both have mintages in the millions, and mine is about the same condition as yours; and I paid about 30€ for mine.

I searched through a small box of modern European coins a friend gave me last night, a nice way to relax before bed.

Tons of coins to photograph, but I managed to sneak a few last night. This is going to take a LOOOOOOOONG time . So, what do you think?

​I don't collect ancients or medievals myself, but nothing's stopping me from admiring your coins and seconding that word Peter posted!

I found my first 2018 coin last night, a cent, on the ground outside my neighborhood pharmacy.

As you may or may not know, I have a soft spot for those gate follises! Even have a couple myself.

(I picked up the Dinar by the way for just under $750; probably more of an investment than a collection piece for now, so I won't list it here)

Nothing expensive for me recently, I'm having to relegate most of my available expenses to other aspects of life. C'est la guerre.

But I spared some change to go digging through a junk silver bin and came back with this nice pre-war large silver coin (1933 Turin 20 Francs).... inspired me to try getting the whole date run of this series.


It's funny how a little self-indulgence like that can brighten up your day considerably, you know?

@Peter, @Cass: Thanks guys! Was somewhat surprised by the quality up close. Far better than what I expected

@Oggy: Yeah, I am aware of the fact that you have a soft heart towards Campgates! Congrats on the pickup. They are rarely neat looking coins. I finally picked up Broome and its a pretty good book for the cost. Far less expensive than Izmirlier...

I'm so excited about today that screw waiting until the end of the month.

After an absolutely awful Kunker auction and first day at Spink, today I struck gold with the first 2! [There was a medal here too, but seems I was actually outbid on that one]

​If prices for Mohur coins are anything like those I’ve seen at the todywala/Oswal auctions in Bombay a few years ago, then all I can say is - Hey Mr. Big Spender! hehe.
Congratulations! Those are indeed beautiful

These five coins arrived yesterday as part of an exchange with a collector in Peru.

And the plot thickens....

This came today, the 1904 2½ centesimos "Panama Pill".

1 Florin, 1887, Austria - Habsburg.

From my earlier lot....

Hey I have that same 1976 American Bicentennial Isle of Man Crown​!

I remember buying it specifically because I thought it was weird (and maybe oxymoronic) to have a British Monarch and American Independence's bicentennial on different sides of the same coin.

I probably have the rarest  isle of man 10 pence coin

I have a 1992 AA mark 10P that quiet possibility be the only one out of the 200 that were originall minte  that ended up in circulation 

PS most of them were recalled and subsequently destroyed by the PM mint

Nice coin!   20 Numista members have this coin in their collection (excluding you).  It's rare but I doubt you have the only one.

When I say the rarest it is from circulation stand poin although I have seen seen 12 of these coins in total I have never seen one that looked heavily circulated like this one

When I say the rarest it is from circulation stand point of view not scarcit, although I have seen seen 12 of these coins in total I have never seen one that looked heavily circulated like this one
