Unusual Obv on a 1934 5 Reichsmark - Potsdam Garrison Church
From memory Hitler came to power in 1933 and started his purges in 34 - the reverse does have swastikas either side of the eagle but not as part of the eagle as in later designs - the coin is a first year anniversary of the Nazis coming to power


1934D 5 Reichsmark Obverse


1934D 5 Reichsmark reverse


The other noticeable feature of this coin is that it is edge inscribed

GB 1919 Florin Obverse

Pretty scrappy coin but a good find in a bulk lot

Again a bit scrappy bit good find in a bulk lot


1768 One Twelfth of a Thaler Obverse


1768 One Twelfth of a Thaler reverse

This one appears to be a Hammered coin - very thin planchet that has been bent

These are wonderful finds. Seems like you got a very nice lot of coins.

You found all of them in one bulk lot!! Wow now that is what I call a little treasure trove LOL
I am very interested in that Brazilian one It is from the Bahia mint by the look of it I think that is a B just after the date If you would like to see a few more check out my coins on Omni I have just posted some early Brazilian

No - not one single lot - three small containers with some coins in 2x2's and others loose.
I will post an image of the obverse of that Brazilian counter stamped coin

LOL I thought it was all in one lot I would like to see the other side of the Brazilian for sure

Great Britain 1887 Sixpence

Great Britain 1902 Threepence

Good grief, where on earth do you even find such lots? Do you get them from auction houses here in Australia?

Yep - I got them from Edlins latest auction 2 weeks ago
One of the lots was mainly Silver crown sized coins and some florins

I get the catalogue, check out the ones that look interesting , go in and view them - anything that looks promising I bid on.
Its mainly the effort of going through them that yields coins that have been overlooked by the seller.

The world lots at Edlins auctions are always pretty good and there are always plenty of them.

Interesting coin this one - Bohemia and Moravia 50 Haleru - set up by the Germans in 1938 and absorbed into Czechoslovakia in late 1945 early 46


Obverse

This one has me stumped - it appears to be a hammered coin - a 12th of one R which I am speculating might be a Reichstaler. Any help would be good


Obverse

Very nice grade New Zealand Halfpenny - not an easy date either in high grade


Obverse

These are just fantastic. You've done very well with this auction house you're using.

Any ideas on the two hammered german or german state coins - unfortunately they are pretty worn

There were 10 of these loose - blazing red Unc 1955 GB farthings

Nice die crack on the Obverse thru the F of FD - also undecided whether its the 1866/8 overdate
1866 GB Farthing


Obverse


Reverse

I had an experience of purchase of a large set of coins - nearby 35 kg from Germany. About one today I to them almost did not concern, only have looked quickly.

Basicly I am green with envy LOL what great finds & thanks for letting me see the reverse of the Brazilian

Great Britain 1826 Farthing

Great Britain 1854 4 Pence or Groat

Ceylon 1892 Five Cent - very large copper coin about the size of a Crown and quite a thick coin. Nice design

Egypt 1917 5 Piastre silver coin - Egypt under British Occupation KM#318.1 Hussein Kamil as Sultan

Sweden 1925 2 Ore - nice little coin

China Cash Coins - nice example of the dragon design on the Pei Yang coin









Still working out how to date these - there are quite a few 10 and twenty cash coins amongst this lot some have provinces and others have just Republic of China

Island of Jersey - 1933 1/24 of a shilling which is a halfpenny

I think this is the first time I've seen a Pei Yang copper!

It is a 1/12 Reichstaler (RT are the initials on the coin) 1712 from Prussia. Nice cypher of Friedrich I there!!
