ScottO - 1750 duit - group 4

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=962780

sometimes beuty is the simplicity of the design, i do like these simple design coins, and i decided to enter this as it has a fairly good planchet clip which it makes it far more desirable

ScottO - 1728 sixpence - group 4

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964743

ahh the 18th centry silver of great britain, in my view are quite eye catching even this grade.

hard to find 3 coins, as this period had many.

ScottO - 1922 50 kopecks - group 6

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=962364

one of the first coins struck in the newly fromed soviet russia, using the same size and metals of the old russian imperial coins, this is a high grade example with lustre and toning

ScottO - 1917 10 centimes - group 6

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=965230

in my view one of the most of the best designs of the 20th century, while its the first year of this design (1917) its in a very nice grade with lustre

ScottO 1901 halfpenny group 6

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=967122

while not a flattering portrait or a rare coin, its in a great grade and is the end of a era of british history, the end of the victorian age.

scottO poland 6 grozen group 3

not a rare coin by any means but still a great piece of early silver, and has the added bonus of some double striking on the obverse

not sure if this goes here in exonumia but anyway i can just move it to there if needbe

ScottO - Jean sireday dijon jetton 1655 - group 3

http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=975762

made in dijon in 1655, this jetton is quite scarce rated R on cgb.fr's site and is part of a few issues around the time of the mayors of dijon all of which are rated R. and a great looking coin for the period

not amused by what i have to face here but i have a few tricks up my sleeve

anyway

germany Solms-Lich 1/2 batzen 1590 (the date is that 0 the 9 is worn flat sadly

NICE DOUBLE STRIKING TO BOOT

i'm fine with the groups, i'm sure there are plenty of nice coins post 1901...

past few weeks have been good for me although nothing foreign comes up, got some oddly better then normal grade coins

first came this, dunno where this has been al lthese years but getting a £1 in this grade is hard enough if its dated 2007...

and a few days later ANOTHER high grade 1987 coin

and this AS WELL full lustre 2004.

its those italians they are obsessed...

i know 1590 exists, i missed out on a spanish piece >.<

i'm waiting for 1585 :/

mine is better

and the italians were still at it lol

1987 £1, in aEF lol

£2.69 this cost me, from what i can gather its a hungarian denier from 1148-96

hmm 50 kopecks, not easy for me to get.

1896 paris

at least 1586-4 wont take long lol
