Krause World Coins 1601-1700 catalog. Just kind of disappointed found a couple of my coins. But they don't show a picture of the same coin. But it does mention variations. (1654 1 Albus (2 Kreuzer) German States Mainz KM# 100 ) The shield has the same symbols just a little different on placement.

Hi Ian, just wondering have you seen this thread? We could use your help.

Low price impulse buys today. 1913 Mexico one peso. Always wanted one of these. Common year but kind of a novelty with the "expensive" holder. Can you imagine going to a savings and loan and as a freebie they hand you one of these? Says " Compliments of American Savings & Loan Association" and the address and phone number on the flip. 1898 O Morgan Dollar. 1695 Germany Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel 12 mariengroschen Rudolf Augustus with wild man grasping stick Somebody needed to make change. Old cut on edge.

2008 clad proof set.

Anything dated. We have already had some Egyptian and other coins.

Almost forgot to post this here. (BTW if anybody can confirm this I would appreciate it.) 1654 1 Albus (2 Kreuzer) German States either Mainz or Worms Biting the bullet bought a Krause catalog 1600 to 1700 world coin book. Just waiting on it.

I don't know if the hang around here but on omnicoin vajaho, LawrenceChard, Ian (2) all have coins listed.

What?? Don't tell me the did not date earlier coins. Man, your breaking my heart.

Another 1696 L.G.L. below Louis XIV bust Made by Lazarus Gotleib Lauffer in Nurenburg Germany

Always thought that taler looked like some pirate saying "AAAARRGGHHH" But that is in beautiful shape.

Really average it out a little less then 1 a day, so not a bad average. Only two left for me are 1696 and 1661.

Love to see the Russians made it. Wish more of the darksiders would have come out earlier.

Thank you very much. Got it updated on omnicoin now. Next group 1917 d mint mark on obverse half dollar 1876 Russian rouble solder left at 3:00 and 9:00 from broach pin. This was bought from bulk silver bin. 1901 O Morgan dollar 1881 O Morgan dollar 1833 large cent

Here is the Chinese republic general issue Sun Yat-sen Dollar And the Japanese 1 yen I'll get up the rest of the coins here tomorrow afternoon.

Still need to upload some pics. Picked up a 1914 Japan 1 yen, a 1934 Chinese dollar. (Just not sure on both of the dates. They may be off by a couple years.) A 1959 mint set, a 1917 d half mint mark on obverse, and 1833 large cent.

I'll have to wait on pictures. Picked up a couple low cost upgrades on my Morgans today. Both of the ones I had were in the xf or lower range and common years. No excuse for not bringing them to Unc. range. 1881 O and 1901 O morgans. Also from the bulk silver bin something what was a shame. A 1876 Russian Rouble sad part about it. Someone soldered then removed a broach pin on it. A decent "slider" AU/MS if it weren't for that.

A 1968 nickel that caught my eye. It had a real nice shine to it. But it looks like someone took it to a very fine buffing wheel. Since I did not have my cheaters on me, it looked like something you would get out of a mint set. At least at first. Get it home and the front of Monticello has been buffed. Jefferson's jaw had been buffed out. Product of a Future coin doc I guess.

I just wish it would not have had all the bag marks on the obverse. But at least all of them are very light. Like most pictures they seem to show the scuff marks off. It's really getting tough to find the morgans I'm missing. And taking longer between purchases. (Money wise that is.) Only way I'm able to keep going on these is the safety incentive gift cards from work. We get base line cards on a regular basis and special ones for milestones. Luckily they started handing out visa cards instead of walmart, jiffy lube, restaurant cards, etc. Right now we are breaking our previous record. Just hoping we keep it up and might get a pretty good bonus. Went ahead and picked up some mint sets I was missing today. 1976, 1978, 1985, 1989,1994, (Gets me to having all of them to 1960) and the new 2009 red book. Now to start transferring all the stuff over.

Here it is. 1880-CC VAM-4 Reverse of 78 Overdate This coin is a Top 100 Morgan VAM 4 III2 3 - B2a (80/79) (178) I-5 R-4 Obverse III2 3- The bottom of the 7's crossbar shows in the upper loop of the second 8 and the stem of the seven shows inside the lower loop. The remains of the 9 shows within the 0 in the top left and bottom and a bulge shows outside at 10 o'clock. 1 has die chip at top right of shaft. First 8 has vertical polishing marks inside partially filled loops. Reverse B2a - Parallel arrow feathers with centered small CC mint mark.

I'll try to get pictures up later. But I picked up a 1880 over 79 Carson City second reverse today. (VAM 4 top 100 vam)

Not really a found in circulation, but.. Dropped by the bank today looking for some rolls. The teller popped out an original obw George Washington dollar roll. I wonder if that had been hiding at the bank or some one turned it in?

Doing a quick date search on omnicoin we need darkside help from Ian. He has a real nice group of coins and tokens in this date range.

This is a "fantasy" piece. In other words fake. But it was one I had to pick up. La Grange Texas Chicken House token.

If nothing else probably the same storage conditions. I still have not figured out the 1878 yet. It has doubling like the 196 But the Right wing of the eagle is not anywhere as polished as the one shown. Also it has a polished wing on the left side which is not mentioned. The "R" in Pluribus is an exact match with the 114. and the stars are doubled. But the hair is not polished like that one. One of the dealers I go to had a real nice crescent toner. Sadly he was keeping it for himself. You could make out the weave of the canvas bag.

A missing year/mint for me 1900 O Morgan dollar For a New Orleans mint it has a decent strike. 1900-O VAM-21 Near Date, High O 21 III2 5 - C3l (Near Date, High O) (190) I-2 R-3 Date set further left than normal. Open 9. Some show high die crack through tops of ED STATES OF.
