You're getting some very nice stuff. Your collection has got to be building beautifully.

 

Yup! Now I have to catalog and store it all :ninja: There's two other coins but I need to ID them first.

 

Edit: First is a 1992 50 Pence proof from Gibraltar, Christmas theme (has Santa on the reverse). Not sure if it is silver or copper-nickel yet.

 

Second is yet to be determined. The portrait is that of Franz Joseph I, reverse has a shield and 1 Ft. Year is 1887.

Does it look similar to this, but with a concave shield? If so, it is a forint from Hungary.

 

Very similar, I do believe you are correct! Thank you. Has very little wear but I suspect it has been dipped at some time. Lots of little tiny marks that shouldn't show that much. Any idea on the value of these things? After getting this one....there will be many more to come depending on price :ninja:

I really like the Cameo Ikes. They're actually a beautiful coin in that condition.

 

They most certainly are. That's what attracted me to this (along with price).

 

This coin also doubled as being my first NGC slab. I'd like to get a collection of different slabs.

I've been tempted to do a slab collection for some time now. It's just one of those things that I'd like to think about but just don't have the resources or focus to pursue. Ditto sample slab collection.
