A Xmas present to myself arrived today

I've been looking for an upgrade to this one for years

Bolivia 2 Centavos 1883 A - a single year type with a mintage of just 250,000, The circulation coin is very hard to find, though the proofs are readilly available

this one has a couple of dings but a good EF with lustre, I doubt another will come along for a while

Still looking for a German New Guinea 10 pfennig 1894A, and a French 10 centimes 1878K if any wants to add to my stocking

Merry Xmas everybody!

That's proper upgrading! Well done!

Wanted to get an early milled in high grade but didn't want to spend a lot of money. Hence this Hungary thaler. Looks impressive with a large diameter of 45 - 46mm.

Nice, really good eye appeal. Smitten. If you ever decide to re-invest this coin into an early milled then give me a nudge

[Sword 1,330]

Thanks.

That has so much going on

I also like French coins pre 1792....there you go I've come out....Sols Ecu's give them to me.There is art in their coins and Jettons.

It's no surprise that we nicked a few of the French engravers at various times.

Probably the French coinage of the 19th and 20th century was superior in design to anything minted anywhere. Contentious. I know.

There was a half-decent engraver of Italian origin that I may have mentioned having a liking of though, I think he trumps the lot

The early Thalers are exceptional. There is a guy who collects mainly Austrian Thalers here: http://www.taleruniverse.com/the-taler-universe-collection/

I spent the morning watching coverage of the ceremony to honour the three French police officers, killed in the awful events last week

Then the postman brought this, I assume a discount token for 10 centimes, early 20th C, brass 30mm



Paris in happier times

David

Edit: Kermesse is the Paris Fun Fare, so probably a slot machine token

A recent acquisition...1860 BB/TB Mule Penny, F-8. Not the best copy in the world, but rare never the less.
