Vfox Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks Mark! Here are some of the Mexican coinage I got in a trade on CP, eBay and local coin shops. I love these designs, and am in the works of getting a big 'ol heap of Mexican silver thanks to Jeff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Russian uhm...I think kopeks? I forget what its called And a high grade mercury dime with red/orange rim toning, pictures don't show the coins real lustre, which is brilliant, but that's common with this date.

Vfox Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Just picked up this raw 1830 bust half dollar with nice obv rainbow toning. Looks like at least a F-Vf. Love the colors, but will probably re-sell shortly, bust coins are neat, but not something I normally buy more than one of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I just noticed this, but there is a very sharp die clash right behind the head, it's of the wing of the eagle, and below is part of the arrows in its claw. It's also really interesting that this clash is perfect alignment, while the actual coin itself is not perfectly aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Excellent bust half and nice die clash! I believe my 1830 had a similar die clash, though not as prounounced as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks Jeff, I couldn't resist picking this up when I saw it, but it was actually the toning that made me want it, if I would have seen the die clash right away it wouldn't have even been a question wether to buy it or not. The dealer didn't even mention anything about it either, which is odd because he normally is on that kind of stuff. It's a shame the face isn't toned like the fields, but its still a nice rainbow coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 That 1830 half is terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Todays pile of coins. A set of Irish Euros and a handful of bi-metallic coins, a 1959 Mexican peso, a 1893 Mexican 10 centavos, a 1917 25 Pennia (looks german, not sure), and a 1942 Peso from Uraguay with an awesome puma on the rev. And last but not least a 2005 uncirculated set, and a 1962 proof set. (the proof is the one I'm going to carry in pocket, see my "proof set circulation fun" post for more.)

Vfox Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Nice stuff Thanks Art, I'm really starting to get into foriegn coins lately, I think artistically, 80% of them blow our coins out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Some stuff from the coin shop, and a trade with Blackhawk. Loves me my Mexican and Chilean coins! Also, that's the first stone mountain I've ever owned, and I just love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Always wanted to pick up a fractional bill. Just have not seen any for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm actually going to end up selling that one, I don't collect fractional currency anymore, but this was a good price so I picked it up. $7 with shipping if you want it.

Vfox Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Just noticed something else while photographing that bust half dollar. Not only is the obverse clashed, but the reverse as well. You can see what appears to be an unsidedown and backwards "LIB" of liberty from the obverse libertys cap. This coin keeps me interested I'll say that for sure!

Vfox Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Got some stuff off of eBay the other day, basically more Mexican to add to the pile, and a beautiful Chile 1/2 decimo (it's a Xf-Au but the scans make it look like crap, it's a great coin!) from gxseries.
