Post your most recent acquisition: World 7 7

Oh, you son of a *&^%$.

 

I was watching that one and waiting for my paycheck, and when I went to buy it it was gone.

 

Congrats on a nice pickup, at a great price.

 

There are four graded SP68 from the same dealer submission...You may not have lost out! I purchased this one Jan 4th from France.

My most recent acquisition is a Mexican 1800 1 Real in NGC MS63.  Pretty coin that will join mt 1800 1/2 Real.  I think I will try to put together a mint state 1800 silver set.

Here is one of my latest acquisitions ....A Icelandic 1929 2 Kronur NGC MS-66

And here is another Icelandic coin I got about two months ago ...A 1926 5 Aurar in MS-66 Bn graded by NGC

This isn't really a recent acquisition but with it being easier to share pictures I figured I would do so with this one. One of my favorite Wildman coins. Exquisitely well struck.

Here is my most recent purchase.  It is a MS 62 - 1806A France 2 Francs that I picked up for my Napoleon Type Set.   It has an incredible surface which the pictures just don't do it justice.  The observe picture does a slightly better job of showing the different colors that dance across the surface depending on the way the light is hitting it.

Thanks for looking.

This is not a new coin to me, but I did have it regraded from an ICG (PF68DCAM) holder to an NGC holder (PF66), which I do believe it the proper grade.  The coin is an extremely rare Belgian Congo/Democratic Republic of Congo 1965 silver 100 Francs piece, which is far rarer than it's gold counterparts.  In nearly 20 years this is the only example that I have found, and I am always on the hunt.  If you ever find another one or one of the other denominations in silver, please let me know.

Greetings one and all,

     Here is an American Numismatic Association 100th Anniversary "Salute to the ANA" 1891-1991 .999 Fine Silver Medal from the British Royal Mint.  I believe this is one of their finest coins.  The both proud American Eagle and the British Lion make the coin look very majestic.  JMHO.

Nice coin... I have a couple that are silver, but the gold looks great.

After many years of hunting down this coin I was finally successful. It came back from NGC as AU55.

It's a German/Brunswick mining Thaler from 1685. It weighs 78g and is stamped on the reverse as a "3" Thaler coin.

Holy Cow Mike, that is absolutely stunning!!!!  Congrats on your find!

I couldn't pass this British Penny up!  I'm starting to take an interest in British coins...the detail of Victoria's hair is amazing.

Beautiful pieces everyone!

I'll show my most recent world coin.....kind of an odd purchase for this US Collector, but it spoke to me. Just bought it at the Long Beach coin show a few weeks ago.

 

[Ryan S.]

Here is one I bought several months ago, but just now managed to dig it back out of the safe for a photo session. The color is smashing....these pics are very true to life!

Start a new thread and tell us all about this coin. I'm intrigued.

Latest buy-South Africa Union-1930 3P MS 63

[Star City Homer]

A few posts above I showed a Japanese coin I bought from a European auction house.  This is a European coin (Albania) from a Japanese auction that arrived recently.  

Life is weird in world coin collecting.  It's actually the second 'difficult' Albanian coin I've found in Japan, which makes me wonder about a Japanese collector of Albanian coins.
