Sir Sisu Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 that's a neat design, I'd love to see the proof! I am not so good with taking proof photos with my camera, but I will give it a try. Meanwhile thanks to your assistance this is my most recent purchase: my first crown in months that is going towards my crown collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I have decided to try and put more focus on filling the holes in my Finn collection. Today I received the 2nd mint set issued for 1989. It included a special silver token. I posted the image in the Finn forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Very nice coin, Sir, I need that one too. But... isn't that one way too small for your collection???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Very nice coin, Sir, I need that one too. But... isn't that one way too small for your collection???? My apologies for not answering this sooner. It is too small for my silver crown collection, but not as part of a long-term side collection I am working on: a type set of circulating silver (including billon) coins of the 20th century. I hope to achieve this with higher grade coins. As I may be becoming a student again this autumn (and thus having the corresponding non-existant budget ), I am working on a few final indulgences for my silver crown (and crown-like) collection. This one arrived today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 As they are part of a specific collection that I am working on and have another thread devoted to, my newest additions are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 It was a good day at auction. A couple of decent deals though I may have overpaid on the Morgan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'd have to agree that the Cuban is very nice. But a great group in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 That portrait on the Peso always reminds me of those hornbill birds. Great shape though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 That portrait on the Peso always reminds me of those hornbill birds. Yeah, that nose definitely has character. Great shape though. Thanks! It really is. I was not able to take a picture that did it justice. The "stain" on the reverse is barely noticeable in hand and the frost on the coin would would make Frosty the Snowman blush! I just could not capture it on camera.

Sir Sisu Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Picked up my first book in a while: The Silver Dollars of North and South America. Published by Whitman in 1964, the prices are way dated and underrated, but it works as a great checklist reference towards one of my main collections, since there were not many new silver types produced after this year. In addition, the book lists types back to the 17th century for some countries, and has other bits of interesting info as well as a decent bibliography section.

Sir Sisu Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 This came in the mail today. I am a little disappointed though for what I paid for it as I am quite sure it has been cleaned/dipped in some manner. It will have to do for now. Perhaps someday I will upgrade it.
