Graikos Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hello again. Well, I encountered three nice ladies in my bundesbank bag yesterday. Two beautiful French girls and an exotic Portuguese. Lets start with the one from the Iberian peninsula. Now a rather melancholic lady (at least I think it is one ) from 1948. She does carry those years well tho. And a rather more upbeat cutie. Why she brought a rooster along... beats me! There are a lot of French coins in here. Anyway. That was it. The handful was small last night. Thank you for watching. Demetrios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Today I got a wonderful present. This coin: A professor that also collect had actually ordered an Edward Rupee, but got this instead after two months. He was fed up with the whole deal and because he had this coin already he just gave it to me! Yay! From my Bundesbank lot I chose these coins today. First, a coin from the Vichy French State. Interesting how the beautiful women and jugendstil motives of earlier French coins get replaced by a double ax. Then a 5 Mark coin from Eastern Germany. And finally 5 Pfennig from Eastern Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Like the rupee. That was good luck. The other coins are outstanding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thank you, Art. Of course I only agreed taking the Rupee knowing that he had only paid about 1 euro for the coin. This guy is amazing. He got the 8 Anna coin from George's time for 2 euros plus shipping. Never seen it under 20 in the last 4 months... if at all. I'd like to have that luck.

Graikos Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hello. Today was a non Bundesbank lot day. I received an Italian coin I got for very little money some days ago. The condition is quite nice and alone the portrait is beautiful. Sadly, someone scratched a bit around the 5... Still quite nice. I also got 3 Kronen from Sweden today from a friend that went there last week. All three are a pain to scan and to be honest... horribly ugly coins. Maybe except the one from 2003. Nevertheless... here they are. 1973 1984 2003 That's it for today. Demetrios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I agree with you on the Swedish coins. I've got the first two pictured and always found them to be very ugly. No offense to Adolf and Gustav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggit Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Very nice coins, I really enjoy looking through bulk lots, there is such a variety in coin design and keeps the hobby interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 The day before yesterday I got this lot. These are UNC (or aUNC) coins from the Central African States from 2003. The cost was around 3 euro for the entire thing, which I am very happy about. Anyway... I am really happy with these so I had to show them around. By the way... Central African States is missing as an entry from Omnicoin, so I posted them under the Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graikos Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am back! And so glad this is the case. Two days ago I gave my dissertation to my professor and besides some schmall changes... my work is done! So... to "celebrate" I wanted to show some coins I got months ago, but no time to scan them or take a photo of. Again nothing special, but in a nice condition. I am glad to "see" you all... and to finally be able to buy some coins again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graikos Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thank you, Christian and De Orc. Which coins are you missing, De Orc? Some of the ones I've posted were double or triple in that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 The two I know for sure without checking are the 1911 5c & 1987 10F I think I have the alluminium ones you displayed (Famouse last words LOL ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graikos Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Welcome back Demetrios! Long time no see! Congrats and I hope you received my previous email! It's good to have you back again! As your inbox will have told you by now... yes, I did. Thank you, Clive. Good to be back. @Orc Sadly, those two coins were included in the lot only once. If I run into one of them again, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks it is appreciated, but at least it gives me hope that I might find them in one of the lots I pick up every now & then LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 And I thought I'll be having more time! HA! I hate work! Anyway... here I am again after a month long absence. And what can say "nice to see you again" better than the 1, 2 and 5 Afghani coins of Afghanistan from 2004. I am really happy to have those as these will always be connected to history taking place in our lifetime (whether good or bad, that is a matter of opinion). Here we go: Hello to you all!
