thedeadpoint Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well, I had seen according to USPS that it had been delivered on Thursday, but the cruddy campus mail system didn't get it to me til tonight. I told them they had it and they said they didnt. Then suddenly I open my mailbox later and BAM tons of mail that had been here for a few days. Great service... can't wait to leave them. Anywho, the new addition from Heritage will be in my thread Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleKitty Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 2 1/2 shillings coin from Biafra, when it tried to separate from Nigeria. These coins are hard to find, although notes seem to be plentiful. I hunted this particular denomination down for the leopard depicted on it. I collect coins with cats on them. I'm quite proud of this newest addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Great coin. I hope you enjoy it. I've seen the Biafra shillings before. There was one at last year's Ocala show that I wanted to buy but the dealer had already sold it and was holding on to it for the buyer. Turns out to be a good buddy of mine that bought it. AND it was a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Nothing but some loser ad from some third world mint that took it's website down last Tuesday when they expected it would crash due to orders. What a bunch of idiots, who the hay do these Kazakhstanians, whoops I mean US Mint think they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Heck, common date...1830s are a dime a dozen, especially with tarnish like that! Of course you know I'll give you dibs if I ever decide to part with my O-118. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I got this one in the mail today for my Peace set: And these a few days ago from a trade with Marvin (I never noticed till I took the pics that these have a medal allignment). I really like the Thuringen design on the lower left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Nice Peace, jtryka. I think the 34-D is one of the last 3 I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 And these a few days ago from a trade with Marvin (I never noticed till I took the pics that these have a medal allignment). I really like the Thuringen design on the lower left. Well, "medal" and "coin" alignment are American terms that would not make much sense in many other countries. Every German coin has this parallel alignment, and pretty much every euro coin regardless of the issuing country. Actually I don't think there are many European countries that use the inverse alignment. As for Asia and Africa, I would have to look that up, but I suspect not many have it. Yes, the Elisabeth von Thüringen (Elizabeth of Hungary) is a very nice design. Wilhelm Busch is OK too, especially the woodcut style background. The Saarland coin ... the theme design is fairly dull, and the federal eagle seems to suffer from an electric shock. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortyr2012 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 .. and the federal eagle seems to suffer from an electric shock. Oh, Christian, compared to the federal eagle of the "50 years of German television"- commemorative, this suffering federal eagle is quite a very attractive one, huh?

Well, if you have a television coin with a blank screen, why not have a "solid" eagle that cannot fly? The eagle on the Philipp Melanchthon (1997) coin for example http://www.eurocollections.com/images/image.php?image=1828 was pretty bad too. And to be on-topic: Got a couple of Polish 2 zl commems ... except that I already had the ones from the "coins on coins" series. The others are neat additions to my collection. Too bad they have so many issues per year. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
