Art Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Fantastic. You're really putting together a "World Class" world crown collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Some more crowns for the collection. I was somewhat disappointed with these: cleaned and dinged up. I will look to upgrade these at some point but they can stay for now. They still make for nice chunks of silver.

Sir Sisu Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Brazil! Those Balboas are so neat! Interesting Cuban piece also - I don't see them often. Thanks! The Cuban peso interests me too. I have had the 40 centavos pieces for some time and they basically look the same. So everytime I have seen an image of the peso, I always imagined it to be the same size. So when I first got this peso I was taken aback -it was actually as big as a crown.

Sir Sisu Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 A 1988 US Olympic silver dollar from gpnyc, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 These came about a week or so ago, but I have been on a major coin fasting for the past month or so. One of my all-time favorite average circulation coins. This one is a semi key date (still relatively common) And also the first toned Finn coin that I have ever purchased. However, that is not the reason I bought this one. This coin came encased in a rectangular plastic case (only the 1989 Nordic Skiing commem was done completely this way), while the majority of these came in a soft plastic 2x2-like flip holder. I intend to leave it in here and tone as it may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Another one of these (though this is not the exact one). I have been buying them as bullion not as commems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 This is some of the best looking bullion I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Nice way to set aside some silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 This is some of the best looking bullion I've seen. There are no silver bullion here like the US Eagles or the Canadian Maple issues as you could probably guess. And of the old commems this one is the only one that had a large mintage AND a fineness of .900 (The rest from the 70s and 80s were .500). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
