tabbs Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 1933 Czech 25 haleru - appears to be a 1 year type Yes, unless you want to spend a three to four digit amount for the 1932 issue. Seems that after 1933 they made/used the 20 haleru denomination again instead of the "quarter". And agreed, that reverse has a very interesting design!

NumisMattic2200 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I especially like the Solomon Isles coin and the ones of Hawaii are not bad either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Amazing design isn't it, Pirate hat, cannons etc Bluesfil, this has nothing to do with pirates. It is actually a Phrygian Cap, which symbolizes Liberty. The Phrygian Cap is a common device on coins issued by the revolutionary republics of the Americas which began seizing their independence from their European colonial masters, beginning with the US against the British and followed by Latin America in 1810 and later years against the Spanish.

Thanks for that Grivna - my apologies for the ignorance of the Phrygian Cap - interesting read on that link and as long as I am still learning something new everyday I'm happy.

No need to apologize, we all have much to learn (which is what numismatics is really all about). It sounds to me like you've got your head on straight.

tabbs Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I wish my bulk world lots had some interesting things like those. Don't worry. The Phrygian Cap can of course be found on various non-American (primarily French) coins too, including relatively recent ones. Now whether such coins can be found in bulk lots ...

Christian I wasn't necessarily referring to that one in particular. Pretty much the entire thread of coins....... I need to find a new source for bulk coins. My first one was heavy on British pennies, the last one was heavy on coins from the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Bulk lots are fun. I like buying them just to see the different coins, trouble is, what do you do with them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Bulk lots are fun. I like buying them just to see the different coins, trouble is, what do you do with them now? I give some to my son, or other YNs, I trade some away to others who would find some of them difficult to use, and the rest seem to pile up. My last source is offering them again at a great per lb rate, so I think I'll get another 20 or so. I'd really love to get my hands on one of those Bundesbank bags, just for fun. And not one of those ebay guys that sells 1/2 pound for $7.95 + shipping or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I bought one of the Bundesbank bags back a few years ago. I still haven't made my way all the way through it. I haven't been able to find a dealer anymore that carries the 10 Kilo bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesfil Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Still going through the 12.5 Kilo box - ran into this one which I am having trouble identifying. It appears to be a 1699 Sicilian coin of Charles 11. It is copper and the reverse isn't too bad given its age. I have checked Krause for Sicily and also Naples/Savoy but no luck so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
