Lovely! I've been getting 1 rupees whenever I can. I have a Hyderabad one in my watch list too. I'll continue to look for one per year of the Imperial ones and then one from each Princely state that minted them.

Heh. I just stick to one per year of my shillings and florins. That's enough to keep me poor 🤣

13 mm & 2.08 g. Smaller than even the current Mexican 10 centavos or my 1940 Netherlands 1/2 cent at 14 mm!

Oh boy, here's another fun POS. "Great Britain 1885 Coin Victoria Britanniarum" How can people fall for this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/188825441303

Thanks, I'll try to work it into my next paycheck.

I really need to buy a copy of this. Do you remember the postage to the US so I can budget it in?

Full House, Queens over Kings... 😎 Five generations of this coin from the Netherlands. 38 mm, 25 g .945 fine silver Willem II - 1848 Willem III - 1874 Wilhelmina - 1898 33 mm, 15 g .720 silver (the cost of 2 world wars) Julianna - 1959 But even that couldn't be sustained in the modern world... 29mm 10 g 100% Nickel which at least gives it a decent look and feel. This was the the last Rijksdaalders as the Euros came in. Beatrix - 2001 I still need an 1840 2 1/2 Gulden of Willem I to complete the set.

As do mine! Hopefully the cognac my father gave me the other day will be more ... resistant 😉

Damn, that's lovely. I'm really much more into silver than bronze coins but that one is so lovely that all I can say is "thank you" for sharing it.

I have a motorola Razr and my coin photos with it are garbage. I need to buy a macro lens for my Pentax K3 DSLR instead. The SMC Pentax-D FA 50mm F2.8 Macro looks promising (75mm angle of view on the crop sensor). But I always end up buying more coins instead... funny that! 🤣

Almost got excited by that one but "Doesn't post to the United States". I haz a sad.

Arrived today. The cleaning doesn't look as harsh in hand as it does in the photos.

I have told my son what has value and what is "I thought it was cool looking" and what is "why the fuc* did I buy that?"

I could see doing that but I'd rather give my son a shit ton of good silvers that can be sold here and there as needed rather than everything all at once. I'll never sell any of my collection. But my son is free to do anything he wants/needs to do.
