Mark Stilson Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I picked this one up at a local show today: Strange I could not see the pics until I replied and saw the links to copy and paste in another tab? Edit: Really strange after posting I could see the pics in both yours and mine. I wonder since it is already in my temp. files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoRnholio Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Found a few keepers at the show today! James II maundy 2 pence (filled a long time hole in the start of my British type set- one of each monarch): Saw this beauty (Halfpenny!) and couldn't resist bumping a worn out farthing from the same set as mentioned above. Seller graded it VF obv/F rev. So I ended up with a decent deal on a piece with a good portrait. One for my other most favorite set, toned coins! ICCS AU-58. Bit of an impulse buy, but I really liked the medieval theme. Turns out it is a commemorative for the 300th anniversary of Innsbruck University. At 20g of .900 silver, I didn't pay much over melt for it either! After seeing some other other images in my World Coins Book in this series, I may be buying more in the near future.

My only William and Mary piece before this was a very worn farthing. Indeed it is a shame about the date, it was the first thing I noticed after the nice portrait. Thankfully it's a one year type, so I don't think it's too important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Great pick-ups! Nicer British pieces are very hard to come by in Van/Vic - too many collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Great pick-ups! Nicer British pieces are very hard to come by in Van/Vic - too many collectors. Around Edmonton I've only found one shop that had anything half-decent for pre-1900 British stuff. Unfortunately, the owner is a major scumbag a-hole, and he will get none of my future business. It's unfortunate, since some of his employees are quite kind and knowledgeable. Most of the shops around here tend to be geared more towards stamps, or new Mint products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Not today, but the other day. From a fellow CP member from the UK: some great 1£ coins that I've loooooong been wanting to get. Now I have a complete bridge set as well as some nice individual pieces. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just blew my previous "highest amount paid for a numismatic coin" record out of the water with this one. PCGS MS-65 1947 Maple Leaf Canadian half dollar. Mintage of 38,433, PCGS population 4/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoRnholio Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Congrats, K! Is this for a specific set of yours? Not really. I just like KGVI coins, especially the halfs and dollars. Had some money ready for a bullion purchase, but then I saw this and had to put in a bid in on it. Somewhat surprised that I won it in fact. Also picked up one of these, as it's been on my list since I started the Nudity on coins thread a while back: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
