And an envelope from Bunny-land

Two great coins. I like both but the Florin a little more.

From the last week:












The last one, the Ruble, the reverse text puzzles me:

"pobeda nad fashistskoy germaniey"

"20 LET"

What does that mean?

Good stuff. I like the 1 Franc.

20th anniversary of the Victory over Fascist Germany.

What's the story on the Franc? I got one in circulation in France in 1995 and I saved it, but I could never figure out if it was a commem or a design change (there were several 2-franc commems circulating at the time). In any case I really liked the design so I saved it (a solid 20-cent investment!).

It's a commemorative coin (well, circulating commem) issued 200 years after the foundation of the first French Republic.

Received some nice goodies today









My first seated quarter

My first large cent



Thanks VFox!!!!

hmm, ok, I already had a seated liberty quarter
But that was one with motto above eagle and this one is not

Those are some great coins. Good going.

Glad you like them!

For those who haven't seen these coins in hand: they look a lot better than on my photographs.

One thing that surprised me: the size of that large cent. They're actually a lot larger than I expected, I kinda expected the same size as a canadian large cent....

The earliest large cents were a bit larger yet, my 1794 is about 3 grammes heavier than the 1797.

Received 300 Rubles today, split in 6 coins of eahc 50 ruble, all bimets depicting an aminam from some red book. Haven't got pics yet, those will follow later.

I haven't got a proper lighting setup yet, so I have to rely on daylight, preferably sunny.... And since it's pretty bad weather the last few days, storm and rain and it's getting dark rather early already, I haven't been able to make some pics yet.

Don't worry, they'll come

Come back dangit!
