Additions to your exonomia collection November 2023

Lets see if this works. I am mainly buying exonomia there days, and I know there are others here with interest in these areas.

These were struck at the US Mint at Philadelphia,  and bear the P mint mark.

There is a reference work for US mint commemorative issues, Dean, which I am looking out for.

These are listed there as 1969b and 1969d, and here and here in Numista.

I was very pleased to find them together in a custom Capital holder. 

Lastly, I have visited San Diego a number of times over the years, and I have a certain fondness for the place.

Except for one - the other 5 yesterday after lunch:

I already deal with this silver gem of numismatics in another thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic138280.html

Found this at my local coin shop. I had never seen a book for the modern Bronze medals and I had never seen all of them at one time together.

That's a super find, very nice presentation booklet. 

And interesting to see all the Presidents together too.

A silver French 30th anniversary of D-Day landing -

 

Beautiful D-Day landing issue! Today I added the French D-Day 70th anniversary 2 euro coin I got from circulation to my collection, so I decided to add a note here as well.
 

Last week, either the last day of October or early November (I'm not sure), three coins from Micronations were delivered.
My first wooden coin ($1) is from Westarctica, by far the largest Micronation on Earth, as well as its beautifully made bimetal $10 coin. As they have a value indication I call them coins, they're now in the good company of my Falkland Islands coins.

The only coin New Utopia has issued (as far as known) arrived in the same parcel. It looks like no costs were spared to create it, for a yet non-existing island somewhere between Honduras and the Cayman Islands. Of course I placed it next to my Cayman Islands coins.

Those micro-nations coins are  indeed beautifully made.😎

Indeed nicer than many circulating coins.

The D-day 2 euro is an interesting design. 

The Chanson d'automne, in an interesting piece of history.

When the author of that Wikipedia page accepts my addition of the (cropped) image of my 2 euro coin then it will remain there. At least for now it should be visible on that page.

Oh, hey! good work! 👍 The article is nicely improved! I will watch out for similar opportunities.

As you posted your first ever wooden coin, I will post my first ever ceramic coin,

together with another notgeld I found in a shop this past week.

I have a fair collection of German and French notgeld. I love the variety.

Both notgeld and micronations might find there way in to Exomonia one day…🤔

Here is a little trinket I found today, in a dark dusty corner of a tiny antique shop I have been to before.

It is a triskadecagon 62mm across. The catalogue page has a blast white one, but I like this deep toning. Unfortunately it has been handled, and it has been dropped - the one edge ding is right at 12 oclock, between the privy marks!

Scored a bunch of 1920s French notgeld, and a Paris public transit token.

I'll put them all here for now -

Some of these are uncirculated. 

These German ceramic coins are awesome! I already had two in my collection, the white one being special to me due to the unusual denominoation (75 pfennig). The 1 Mark coin is dark brown, I toned the color down a bit for better contrast.

The 13-sided medal refering to the first 13 states is beautiful! The only 13-sided circulation coins I'm aware of are the Czech 20 Korun coins. When it comes to scaloped coins, there are some notgeld coins with 13 scalops. Recently I added one of these, that also has an over 100 years old machine oil stripe on it. I tried wiping off just a tiny bit, the part of the cloth I used turned a little black. I've seen such oil stripes on some Indian 2 rupee coins before, I wrote about that recently. https://en.numista.com/forum/topic138474.html

A few more French notgeld coins arrived last week (yours are great as well, Mr. Midnight!), one has a lady on it with interesting fashion, as well as there being 2 years on the coin left and right of her. As that is rather unusual, it would be nice to know what it means. Does anyone know? It is not on the Numista page.

Also Liberland coinage recently became part of my collection. I just had to get a 20 Merits coin, as it is such an important part of Liberland history. This coin was used to make very the first ‘transaction’ on Liberland soil. I edited mine on a still image from the video, showing the coin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb8T9X5K1AA

Today, after 9 long days, a delivery from,, Yucatan,,

Gold and silver everything from two to three dollars, all guaranteed genuine. I am making an album of forgeries and Chinese creativity, skill and ingenuity in the world of numismatics. We can think anything about China, but we cannot deny it ,, that China also started minting coins - banknotes as one of the first countries and its annual production of either circulating coins or exonumia and counterfeits is simply the largest in the world,,

https://en.numista.com/forum/topic138280.html

 this was delivered this morning.:

So I'm going to show it in detail: 

29,69g,   43,21x 25,79 mm, 
Height: 21,69 mm

gold-plated, it's certainly not all gold, there are coins printed, What it's for and what it's supposed to represent, I don't even know what the vase is for-I just assumed that it was connected with numismatics - exonumia ???

gilded probably copper, 39,83mm, 28,44g

i don't believe in gold for 4 dollars so gold plated 44.88mm and weight is 36.49g , I don't know what it represents?

Now two of the same only one in silver and the other is gold. So again nanometer pleating of metal on copper.

Gold variant:

39,80mm, 14,70 g

silver variant:

39,81 mm, 14,73g

Now I also don't know anything yet - I will look for everything,, Egypt,, Gold again for $3

39,90mm, 24,11g

30 pieces of guaranteed genuine coins, all according to the metal, probably brass:

What is all this??? it is what appears to us here often that some people find in the inheritance of a sailor's grandmother and grandfather.

23,04-23,06, 23,08 mm , 2g, 2,03g, 1,95g- they are simply not the same and it jumps by a few tenths, the metal is brass.

A long amulet that is supposed to serve something?

Coins are entangled in it and it reminds me more of some "wu-d",, warding off evil.

Coin size is: 22,96 mm   5 coins with  the metal is brass. I'm not going to untangle it yet - does anyone know what it's supposed to be used for?

This is probably for hand wear:

the coins are tiny brass , 14,34mm -each coin. also 5 pcs.

And for rated dollars Morgan - a major rating company, Only now at home did I notice that they wrote "COPY"- If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered it and saved $3 -for that silver coin ( It's exactly what the Miami boys ask for)

I will still add to the album of fakes fakes - they don't have, "Spanish-Mexican, etc." I'll see next week when I order.

Last day of November, I found three more of these US Mint, one ounce, .999 silver, US Postal Service commemorative pieces, in their original cases.

 I have now 9 different ones. These new ones are, The First US Stamps, 1847-1972; Registered Mail, 1855-1975; and Railway Post Office, 1864-1974. 

The Railway Post office one is already in Numista, but the other two I will have to add tonight.
