That's Qian Long?! I wouldn't had guessed.

Central Bank of Manchuko? Definately unusual. I wonder who that guy is.

Nice Irish piece!
-
That nickel's better than the one in my type set!
-
Very neat notes! I don't think I've seen Standard Bank before either. (only post-merger)
-
VN farthing!

Pretty!

That's quite the color variation

I'll toss my name in. -
10p as a quarter. Haven't had that happen for a while, but 10p as 25c and 1p as 1c are not too unusual occurances...
-
Nice HSBC and MB notes everyone! I'm still waiting to come across a nice Mercantile note at the right price, but none have yet to turn up around here in any grade.
-
I don't recall ever seeing that type.
-
Not much to write about.
-
Very nice!
-
Nice writeup! So how many cows does 20p buy today?
-
Neat! The Alfred portrait isn't too much different from the style used on some late Roman pieces.

Unpublished Straits Settlements Coin - Unique or fake?

I'm leaning towards fantasy. This is not the first time that I've seen a 1/4 cent from a date that should not exist. -
One the Chinese 1000 cash note there, the ribbon on the eagle reads Chefoo China - so I would say almost certainly a local issue of a smaller community bank (that was locally of sufficient importance)
-
Wow - I didn't know there was a 1928 red seal $1! The deuces on the other hand I run into now and then here, usually in very low grades.

Is that a bee hive?

Interestingly, for ancients I will wait for a nice piece to come along before spending any money, whereas for moderns I have a habit of being low and mid grade stuff that I know I'll have to upgrade down the road.

I collect Roman: By emperor (1 each, with a focus on 3rd and early 4th century) By type (Constantinian dynasty type coins, and also coins depicting Sol/Apollo) Chinese: Qing cash by emperor and type. I also have random stuff that I either liked (and it was $20 or less), or simply wanted an example of (e.g. Sassinian drachm)

Neat stuff!
