Good Saturday to all!

Sometimes we come across coins or banknotes in languages we don't even know the alphabet... Why don't we create a list of forum members with their language abilities? So we could easily contact them in case of doubts... Every member could reply to this topic indicating which languages he can read.

Have a nice day!

Usually it's easiest to use a picture hosting site and then post tge image here.

yes, agree...

I like Maple Leaf coins, but I prefer the new ones... those rays create a nice effect!

Hi Hobi12! maybe mount removed?

it's not easy without pictures (you can try clicking on "my media")...

Good night!

Happy Birthday! Best wishes!

Looking at that coin makes me think that I have one in my collection - somewhere.

This kind of copper coins were minted in Italy, for the Republic of San Marino, between 1864 and 1938. There are several years. I think the most important year is 1864: actually it is the FIRST coin of San Marino since the traditional foundation of the Country (year 301). Check it out!

but I like attractive women in winter clothes

Thank you all!

Very nice and interesting coin!

50 and 500 are the best to me!

Hi guys! Here's another San Marino coin...

Country: Republic of San Marino

Year: 1893

10 centesimi (10 cents)

Mint: R (Rome)

Mintage: 150,000

Copper

Sorry for the picture... not so good, but it's been sealed into the flip...

Well... don't have "great pieces" (they are worth just few dollars), but I like them... will upload some pictures.

Ops... subscribed weeks ago, but haven't introduced myself...

Good afternoon to all of you!

I am of Tuscan Blood, interested in Tuscan 19th Century coins, and in Austrian, San Marino and US coins (19th Century).

Welcome!

In general agree with you guys and thanks for your interesting opinions. Actually a proof coin must be "perfect": it has been minted for that reason, but for old coin (and in general I prefer old coins) I like something not "too perfect". Usually would prefer a XF or AU rather than a MS... (in a slab... )

Hugs and best wishes to all!

Hi guys! hope everything is going well with you!

A question: Do you prefer circulated or uncirculated coins? I know it can be quite weird, but personally I prefer circulated coins. I feel they have a "history" on their patina and they have a real connection with the State and the People where they were minted... although this, I agree in taking care and slabbing these old circulated coins.

What's your opinion?
Hugs!

Thanks for your comment anyway! Very kind of you!

I know quite well the history of the Republic, but am not so good in grading coins... Actually these San Marino coins are minted in Rome. The first one in 1864, as a result of the link between the Republic and the new Italian Kingdom. During Middle Age and Modern Era San Marino did not have a mint and no coins were minted for the Republic (but there are several seals). Most of old coins are in copper, very few in silver. Anyway, both are not so common. The mintage for this one is just 30,000 (legal tender in San Marino and in Italy). I am interested in the San Marino coins between 1864 and the first decade of the 20th Century.

Hi guys! Hope all of you are fine!

Could I get your opinion (grade conservation, etc...) on this silver coin from the Republic of San Marino, 1 Lira 1906?

Actually it's been sealed in a flip, so maybe the quality of pictures is not so great...

Thanks for your opinions!
