Depends. Dark toned coins sell for less at times because some people believe they are "ugly". Brightly colored rainbow coins will sell for a premium because of the extra eye appeal and people like bright colors.

I got a Franklin half in a trade from Tiff, and a whole pile of coinbucks! Very cool looking!

Don't collect Portuguese coins ! There is nothing to collect there, just move along and pick on a country like Finland or something

I may try and scan this at 600 dpi and print an enlarged portrait and frame it - maybe a 5 X 7 with a nice matte and frame

Received an auction win from 28plain today. Very nice coin!

In the past couple of days (sigh, I am behind on this) I have got the Australian coin set 2005 with the three "60 years end of WW2" coins (I like the dancing man!), the UK 2006 set, with the Brunel and Victoria Cross commems, and a few pieces from Albania, Canada, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and San Marino. The two Latvian ones I find particularly neat: There is the 1 lats coin featuring an ant (not my pics, I'm lazy) ...



... and the other one is a circulating commem dedicated to Latvia's joining the European Union last year. Instead of showing a map or country names, it features Spriditis, a little boy (from a fairy tale and the writings of Anna Brigadere) who discovers the world.



Guess that was the message from Latvia (and some others) to the EU: I may be small, but don't underestimate me.

Christian

Yep, that about sums up the Latvijan personalities

Was a good day today

not the mail man, but a customer from the UK who visited today:

UK 50 pence 2004 "Roger Bannister"
UK 50 pence 2005 "Johnson's dictionary"

He received both in change and he had another "Roger Banister" that was pretty beat up.


Mail man:

United Kingdom
1 shilling 1826 George IV
1 shilling 1901 Victoria
1 shilling 1902 Edward VII
1 shilling 1911 George V
1/2 crown 1915 George V

South Africa
six pence 1929 George V
2 shillings 1939 George VI

Stamps and beautifull french silver coins

Rochester, Kent, England token issued by Alice Cobham in 1651 for one farthing. An interesting piece, this has a family crest on the obverse with her name, and a horse and bells on the reverse.

I got a LARGE shipment of stuff from Canada, a shipment from Spain and some Guineas.

There's so much!!!

I almost forgot I received my Beginning Coin Collector kit from the US Mint. My husband almost freaked out when he saw the penny planchet. "I want one of those!!!" he said, his eyes gleeming. Now, where the heck do I get a plain planchet? I don't even know if I'm spelling it right!

that's easy, Kat, order another Beginning Coin Collector kit from the US Mint

I got this today from Lostdutchman, MS-62, nice coin, thanks Matt!.

I need an Indian cent error, that is cool

A cool card w/ unc. euro cent coins from Harri. My daughter is taking the card to school to put on the Christmas card bulletin board. Thanks, Harri and Merry Christmas to you, too.

Received 2 cool tokens from Qualified Coinnut. A Las Vegas gaming token and a really nice 1982 token from Hawaii. Pics later.

Mail from the Vatican arrived here today: I am allowed to order some of the coins that were issued earlier this week.

For some reason the number of items that I can get was already entered. And there is a note on the bill saying that orders which have not been modified will be dealt with more quickly. Hmm, sure, it should be easy for me to sell those that I do not actually want. But this new system still does not make much sense in my opinion ...

Christian

I got a silver dollar in a trade with the Bunny, along with a Canadian bunny nickel! There were also a number of chocolate coins included, however the postal service was not kind to them! They did make an interesting noise when I shook the envelope though!

I want to do a trade with someone!
