And last but not least...

Nice! That bridge coin looks familiar.

Love 'em! The '66 go right into the birth year set too. And I am going to sticky tape the 2 Euro to my computer case near the bunny butt.

The first thing I thought when I saw the X and XX Centavos was 'LEGOS!'. Can you tell I have kids? The second thing I thought when I saw the XX was Dos Equis beer.

that €2 looked so weird at first glance, and then I suddenly noticed....

Just great, now another peeper is collecting Portugal. Stop it. !

Looks like it took a bit of "persuasion".

yeah, but not just that....

Its a flip over.

Is that 1776 the accurate mintage date? Excellent piece - I love to see non-US coin correlates to important US dates (hope that made sense .

I am thinking it is. Jose might know for sure. (And, yes, that made perfect sense. )

That 1776 is a beauty. You made a good deal with Jose. Thanks for sharing.


(Those coins from Portugal surely deserve a hard look. )

They were actually a total surprise!

Great stuff Stu. I thought about legos when I saw the XX too. I wonder if they have XXX centavos?

I'm happy that you like those coins Stu! It was a pleasure!



Don't worry, i guess Stu have all the Portuguese coins he ever wanted now!



You bet!




Yes, it was minted in 1776, 1777 coins are from a different monarch (Maria I), Portuguese 1776 coins are only made of gold or copper (3,5 and 10 reis), no silver coins were struck that year.




Yep, just me and the person who confirmed me your address knew about it!




No, but there is a trial for XXXX coins in the XVIII / XIX centuries.

Jose

I never say never.

you just said it twice

That is why it is one of my favorite sayings.

Another surprise package!




Thank You Art! Very Cool!

Woo Hoo! You got wood too!

Various...Canada, Mexico and Burma

Nice coins.

Me likes da peso.

Me too. I think I am getting drawn heavily into Mexican coinage.

There are some beautiful designs there.

I know!

Wow. Stujoe and Tiffibunny both have brand new worldclass avatars.

A toned 1966 Quarter from a certain turtle that I didn't even realize I won and haven't even paid for yet.

I must really be getting old and senile. Sigh.

Just say that you are overwhelmed with all the great ideas in your head, that it causes momentary lapses in memory and concentration. Works for me!

That's exactly what I say Too young for senility

you need a smaller toothpaste tube cap

Nice coins and the pics are great. Keep working with that camera and you may find a whole new line of work.

Toothpaste cap, now there is an idea for photographing coins

Does anyone else not see the pics or links here?

I know! I need to find something for the smallest fo coins to get them off the background. I used to have a little plastic tub but it has gone missing...

I am still learning this new camera with coins, that is for sure. And I am still too lazy to use my stand so I am hand holding the camera for coin shots again.

They are on flickr and they don't set up any blocks about posting images on other websites so I am not sure what the problem might be. Each one is linked to the original page on flickr...the links don't work for you either?
