I know I started the last monthly thread as well but I got two lovely old commemorative silver coins and I thought, to hell with it!

Here they are:


1930 Denmark 2 Kroner - Christian X "50th Anniversary of Reign"
1945 Denmark 2 Kroner - Christian X "65th Anniversary of Reign"

Nice coins, I have one of them (from 1930).

Its already March by France's standard and I won't get this coin delivered until next week, so I'll play as well. This is a nice upgrade to my existing one that is below...

Byzantine Empire: Leo V the Armenian (813-820) Æ Follis, Constantinople (Sear 1630; DOC 7)

Obv: LЄOҺ S C-OҺSC; Crowned facing busts of Leo and Constantine, each wearing chlamys
Rev: Large M; cross above, X/X/X to left, N/N/N to right, A below



A gallery of my coins and artifacts can been seen on FORVM Ancient Coins

Well, it's been March here for 28 minutes now, although I did get these relatively cheap coins in the last week of February but hadn't posted them, cause they're not nearly as awesome as that 1838-O half dime.



1859 Indian cent (type 1, no shield reverse), 1853 3-cent (type 1, 75% silver)
1883 nickel (type 1, no "cents"), 1913-D buffalo (type 1, raised mound)
1894 Barber Quarter (I had a type 1 (early 1892) and type 3 (later half 1900 and newer), but wanted a type 2)

The 1859 indian cent is worse condition than it looked from the pictures, but that's what you get for $5. I might try and find a nicer one sometime in the future, but for now I'm happy with it.

And a re-post from Feb's thread 2 days ago, Just cause it's such a rare coin (200 survivors?) that I'm so happy to own I feel like re-posting! And mine has a minor clipped platchet mint error I think? That not a dent in the rim, since there's no vertically displaced metal, so either it's carefully filed or it's a clipped platchet. And I checked with another half dime the indent exactly fits the edge of another coin.

Because, who doesn't like seeing a lady who forgot to wear her chain mail shirt?



It's my second standing liberty quarter, I have the type 1 and 3 now, but still need an example of the type 2 1917-24 where she put on a shirt, but still has the raised date.

Got a lot of of random country coins for cheap, many of which countries I didn't have, for about $15. Nothing as valuable as the USA 1800's silvers I've been getting recently, but I need to work on repairing my Jeep so less money into coins. Kinda fun to see different stuff.

​Just to know, a little fact about that Brazil's cruzeiro coin you got, the woman depicted on the the coin was based on an actress which died on last weekend.
Here's a blog post which tells the story (in portuguese): https://caraoucoroa.blogosfera.uol.com.br/2018/03/04/tonia-carrero-teria-inspirado-o-desenho-das-moedas-de-cruzeiro-dos-anos-70/ (Tônia Carrero would have inspired the drawing on the 70's cruzeiro coins)

I bought this and a couple other things at my local coin club meet. I normally don’t collect RCM collector coins, but I like this one which depicts my city’s skyline in celebration of its 150th anniversary (it was 184 years just a couple days ago).

The way it's been altered reminds me of the George III portraits counterstamped on Spanish 8 reales coins, but on a British coin and with George V instead.

​Thanks! I did pay quite a bit for decent condition. I wanted one good enough to make out the shield on the shield (all types have that, but it's one of the first things to wear off), and all the extra rivets on the shield (30 instead of 17 on the type 2 and 3)

I do have one actual blank planchet, it's a 1997 penny I found at Walmart in 1997, a cashier broke open a roll of new pennies to make change, there were 49 1997 pennies, and this 1 blank.

Two days ago I got me these beauties


And since I left Korea yesterday, I got some change in a London café (not the best condition, but they're new to me, so they'll do for now). The coins were nice though.

Thank you Dato. Those little 1 Millieme coins are harder to find than the similar 5 and 10 Milliemes (that's why this coin was the only non-silver coin in this list). And this one indeed is very nice. My pictures are scans and in general scans are not as beautiful as the real thing and this coin is no exception on that rule.

I think we should clone our collections so we could combine them and both have them. We seem to have rather similar tastes :D

I'm focusing mainly on the 18th century Bavaria cityscape Thalers at the moment, but Italy has some beautiful coins and a rich history too. An avenue to explore in the future.

A really nice coin where the graphical image is represented on the coin itself. Check out the crosses in his collar! My top Christmas themed coin! It has overtaken my King Wenceslas coin from Bohemia...

Byzantine Empire: Michael VIII Palaeologos (1261-1282) Æ Trachy, Constantinople (Sear 2285; Bendall-Donald C.25; PCPC 48; Lianta 566)

Obv: O/A/ΓI/O to left, NI/KO/ΛA/S to right. Bust of St. Nicholas, bearded and nimbate, wearing episcopal vestments (sticharion, felonion and omophorion); left hand holds Gospel
Rev: Χ/Μ/ΔЄ/C/ΠΟ/ΤI to left, ΟΠ/Α/Λ... to right. Full-length figure of emperor wearing stemma, divitision, jeweled loros of simplified type and sagion; right hand holds scepter cruciger; left hand holds anexikakia. Manus Dei in upper right field

Working on my type collection, I now have all 6 seated liberty half dime types!



1838-O is the most super awesome of that lot... And probably my most rare single coin....

​It certainly does! To be honest I would have bought this coin had I come across it before I ever saw it on MPCC, but no doubt there are dozens of users whose collections and knowhow have been expanded by MPCC, so congrats on your work!

But have you seen the variation of the 2016 £1 coin?
I have seen three where the edge above the 't' in ELIZABETH is smooth, whereas it's normally milled.
I have checked hundreds, but found only three

Yes - I have six, all 2016. Not seen any 2017 like that yet.
Another 2016 variety is where 2016 is on obverse, but the reverse has
the tiny numbers 2017 around the edge.

Yes, I read about it somewhere a few weeks ago, and have been
checking now both for the smooth edge and/or the wrong date.
I made this just now ...

Needless to say it is very hard to check the small reverse dates without magnification.

No. Very rare - only a few seen.
One other of the new £1 is the 2014 single metal test coin. I have the
rare 2015 bi-metal test coin, but not the 2014 one.

Will see if I can find the article again, about the wrong reverse date.
Here is the 2015 coin I have, followed by the 2014 I want ...

https://en.numista.com/forum/topic59221.html#p488548


There is reportedly a 2016 with trial on it; 1,000 made and 800 returned, so 200 missing.

This one below is not the one I read, but it does confirm it ...
https://www.changechecker.org/2017/06/08/1-coin-minting-error-confirmed/

Oh dear, just seen another error. A 2017 £1 (normally bi-metal) has been
minted with a single metal blank from the previous £1 ...
https://www.changechecker.org/2018/01/31/is-this-a-new-1-minting-error/
and
https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2018/how-a-1-coin-produced-in-error-could-now-be-worth-over-1000-at-auction/

This is a list I found ...
http://www.checkyourchange.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/poundcoins2.jpg
and this mentions the smooth edge (and says it is 1 in 20 rarity) ...
http://www.checkyourchange.co.uk/the-six-new-1-coin-varieties/
though I am sure it as least 1 in 100 to find one.

Quote: "Choucas"​Monninen, can you tell me more about the banknote you just posted ?
​It took time to notice this post. There are so many additions.

It is a 75 kopek banknote issued for Finland. Kind of an attempt to stop the using of Swedish coins, as when they changed rulers, a lot of Swedish coins got stuck here. :D

The "printage" whatever it is called, would be shown on the setelit.com web page, but for now it does not work. It is about 100 thousand. It sounds usual but the banknote is actually very rare. Usually it is only sold at auctions, probably a few times a year. I have an guess that this is the only one on sale in a shop, in Finland right now.

Because it was printed in 1825, it was used a lot. I have never seen a good condition one. The bank of finland probably has some of them. Hopefully no-one buys this before I do.

The banknote was a part of a series with 20, 50 kopek and 1, 2 (and 4, 10) rubles banknotes. It the about the size of a 5 euro banknote, probably a bit smaller but taller.

https://m.ebay.com/itm/Filand-Lot-P-A27b-1829-1-Ruble-VF-20-Net-Russian-Administration/322384882413?hash=item4b0fa2eaed:g:UbIAAOSwt5hYc4In

There is one 1 ruble on sale, on ebay!

As the price is 390€, it is still in a quite good condition. I have seen a half of that banknote sold for 100€. The ruble banknotes are rare because of in 1860, we started to use the markka and the ruble banknotes were forgotten. Some of the years are lost to time, and some only have 1-5 notes left...

I recently went to my local coin dealer and that's where I started my US Presidential Collection in the coin book. I also got a Cook Islands first issue 1 dollar (1972) and he gave to me for free a New Zealand National Parks Centennial Coin in it's original case.

My first Prussian coin, I love the eagle in the shield
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5810.html

my first Ottoman coin, normally holed coins go into the scrap category but this just means it was on a belly dancer, it adds to the history. It fits with these other tiny coin.

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

A semi-upgrade to my existing one. This one has full legends as opposed to my previous one. Furthermore, it clearly indicates two different sub-types for this particular coin where the obverse legend are different. Lianta only illustrates Legend Type 1 and as such the two examples in the Ashmolean Museum are variations of that legend...
  1. Ⓐ ΔHMHTPIOC
  2. Ο AΓΙΟC ΔHMHTPIOC

Empire of Nicaea: John III Ducas-Vatazes (1222-1254) BI Trachy, Magnesia (Sear-2099; DOC IV, Type K 45; Lianta 241-42)

Obv: Ο AΓΙΟC ΔHMHTPIOC in two columnar groups. Full-length figure of St. Demetrius, beardless and nimbate, wearing short military tunic, breastplate and sagion; right hand holds spear; left hand holds shield
Rev: IШ ΔЄCΠ-OΔϪKAC; Emperor seated upon throne with back, wearing stemma, divitision, collar-piece and paneled loros of simplified type; right hand holds labarum-headed scepter; left hand holds globus cruciger

Another upgrade (or a complement) that I picked up this month. Both, the old and new versions of this coin are stellar for the type...

Byzantine Empire: Andronicus I Comnenus (1183-1185) Æ Tetarteron, Thessalonica (Sear 1987; DOC IV, 6)

Obv: MP - ΘV in field; Bust of Virgin nimbate orans, wearing tunic and maphorion; beardless, nimbate head of Christ on breast
Rev: ANΔPO-NIKOC; Bust of emperor wearing stemma, skaramangion or divitision, and saigon; holds in right hand labarum-headed scepter, and in left, globus cruciger
