It's already 1st April here (no I'm not pulling a joke this year) I got my first coins of the month and they completed one of my collections. I now have all of the coins from Malaya from pre-1945. These are the one's I picked up.

Hasn't arrived yet, but I might as well post it.
1/2 Real d'or of the Duchy of Guelders of the Spanish Netherlands under Philip II of Spain.
Krause gives the years of mintage as 1555-1576, but was struck without a date.
Got it for a decent price due to it having that huge flan crack.

I just got a Hungarian 2 filler 1898 in nice condition and with a really nice woodgrain tone, and yes, that crown is very pretty.
BTW, where are you getting all those pre-war Vatican coins? I really want one of those, but I don't think I've ever actually seen any (not that I probably could afford it if I did find one).

Received today:

I now have four variants of the Brock token. Note the remarkable re-engraving of the reverse legend on one of them (open in new tab for full size):
It looks like the engraver miscalculated his space and had to move quite a few letters backward.

Quote: "jelle"I won the MPC - South America, and got this buetie from DonChoriAwesome, glad to see the prize got through to you ok. I must say that the prize for the Pacific section safely made it from my coin storage box into my coin storage box. Maybe I'll offer it up for the prize next year and try to win it back again
I really want to thank him for it!

If you know anything about post-Confederation Canadian tokens, you'll know why I've just purchased this 1881 bill which I saw by chance on eBay:
The company produced two tokens, including this one which shows the same building (still standing in Montreal).

Quote: "Quant.Geek"A hoard of my precious treasure that I acquired this month1. This is quite a nice hoard, what are LRBs?
and about 70 LRBs
2. Did you get a good deal on these or is this photo representing a fortune?
3. What would it cost me to get a nice one like these?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Here are some answers to your questions:
1) LRBs stands for Late Roman Bronzes
2) The top hoard was a bit much unfortunately, but the second one came out to about $10 per coin. That is pretty good when most of those coins go for over $20 at least...
3) Anywhere from $500 or more. The second one, if you do the math, went for over $700. You take what you like, and sell the rest

This Gnaedinger bill came in today:
♣ 
The bill is crisp and in almost perfect condition though it dates to 1881. It is in fact older than the tokens (top one 1887 and bottom one 1902). Gnaedinger was founded in 1852. I don't know yet when it closed down, nor why, but the building is still standing in Old Montreal.
The buyer of the items on the bill is certainly a descendant of Jonathan Locke, one of the two founders of Lockeport, Nova Scotia. The town's coastline was featured on the 1954 $50 bill:

Here is a Devins & Bolton penny received today beside a nice example of the original token purchased about a year ago:
♠ 
Four banks came together to issue penny and halfpenny tokens in 1838 (though they're dated 1837). These two pennies were issued by the Banque du Peuple, the least common of the four.
Pennies with the Devins & Bolton countermark are much less common than halfpennies.

Some of my recent purchases. I'm especially pleased with the 1821 Mexican 8 reales from the Zacatecas mint and the Meissen groschen. The two Lithuanian półgrosze (one with a "Litv" and the other with a "Litva" ending in the legend) are also not to be snubbed

My budget for the next 2 months (maybe 3).
A gentleman, whom I purchased a coin from eBay, sent me a list of about 200 Colonials he was selling (getting around those fees). I spent 2 days calculating what I liked and could afford.

I collect a lot of crazy things and one of the things I collect are manuscripts and styluses of different types. Here is one I just picked a few days ago that will go nicely with the others that I have:
Ancient Rome: Wax Tablet Iron Stylus (ca. 2nd-3rd century CE)
This would have been used by a scribe to write upon a wax tablet. One end sharp for writing, the other a wedge shaped terminal to be used as an "eraser" to fix errors.
Sri Lankan / South Indian: Palm-Leaf Manuscript Iron Stylus (ca. 16th-20th century CE)
