I managed to pick up a bulk lot for NZ$50 (about US$35), mainly because I spotted these in it. I'm glad nobody else noticed because I was the only bidder and it looks like I'll manage to get almost my money back by selling off the rubbish that was in the lot
I picked up this from the local coin shop because I miss it

Funny personal anecdote: Once a couple months back I was showing my (French) grandmother my collection (she doesn't speak English), and I when I showed her my example of that coin, she thought it had none other than Jesus Christ depicted on it (she's also a Catholic).
@jokinen I imagine turn of the century Serbia was a lot more convoluted and dangerous than turn of the millennium American politics.... Bismarck was proven right in hindsight when he said a great war would be sparked by "some damn foolish thing in the Balkans".

In an effort to constrain my collection, i have generally avoided fractional denominations, but recently I had a rupture, and started collecting French (and by extension all LMU) 50c. coins.
(I already had some Tunisian and colonial types, but just a very few...
)
Starting now with the interbellum bronzes
this collection is well along. all these i got for face value, sort of, US 50 cents each!
also some common silver pieces for about bullion price

I always pick them up if I find one in decent condition and selling for $20 or less. I've supplied several Numista members with one of them, but when I sold off my collection, my copy went with it. I might start picking them up again because it's my favourite coin. The only thing that could make it better would be if it was a George V coin and had NZ's lovely George V effigy on the obverse.

Nothing to report today, but super bummed out to find out I'd narrowly lost an auction on Ebay for 2 nice pre-WWI Montenegrin coins, and the final bid was 27€ too! 
And now that I remember, I forgot to check up on another auction that could've been a great win for me....
Kicking myself so hard right now.

Only one addition so far this month ...
'Austria Unknown Copper 1768' [Diameter 18mm] [Price £1.20]
Very thin. Not looked yet to see what it is.
EDIT: Not sure about neither Austria nor 1768 date as I can see maybe 1695 on it;
also as it arrived today I made my own images (with added certain letters/numbers) ...
Later, I see it now has same lettering as >
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces126840.html
so maybe is a Silver Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth 1625 Grosz Litewski.

Just got these beauties in the mail, thanks to swaps with Bas A. Warwick and Bookshelf.
First set, are pre-decimal coins from New Zealand - 1 Crown, 1/2 Crown, 1 Florin and Six Pence. Real beauties.
The second group, from Bookshelf, are common circulation coins from Colombia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Nicaragua, Philippines, Russia, Slovenia, Uruguay and Venezuela, but very nice and welcome additions to my collection.

Got this today
Kwangsi is a Chinese province I didn't have coins from before, so this was a good addition. This type is also one of the most commonly faked types, from what I've seen and heard, so good to have it off my list. Also from Ebay:
A 1942 Serbia WWII 2 Dinar, and an uncirculated 1915 Serbia 50 Para (pictured), KM#24.3- I'm really trying to build up my pre-1945 Balkans collection here!

引用する: "ngdawa"ah, I know this island as St.Barts. Just reading about it, does seem like a token because back then the official currency would have been the French franc. If they were used in southern Swedish towns, i can only imagine as some sort of gimmick or trade token. Definitely not legal tender by any stretch but nonetheless interesting as a token with some history

Odd little piece I just had to have...
This is a late 19th to early 20th century fraternal order penny from Woodmen of the World (founded 1890). Beginning in the mid 19th century many fraternal orders (Masons, Elks, Eagles, the Ku Klux Klan, etc.) issued these to members as proof of membership. The phrase Dum Tacet Clamat translates to "though silent, he speaks". Appropriate for an insurance organization which is still in operation as WoodmenLife.
Also, in the early days, member tombstones were in the shape of a tree stump! And here I thought we numismatists were a little different but, there are organisations devoted to cataloging tombstones.

Been a bit busy lately (designing some financial software!) so have been a little absent apart from clearing up the odd spam post.
Here are some of my latest additions.
My earliest British coin:
Offa light coinage - portrait version
A maximillion peso that I didn't expect to win (left a low advance bid only) I need to get it in hand to see just HOW good it is, but I suspect the auction house severely undergraded this one.
A nice 1902 Halfcrown that I need to compare with mine when it arrives as it might be nicer.
And 2 erm.... coins? from Canada winter olympics
And the best for last!
Celebrating the Danish victory over the Swedes for a strategic waterway - Around 700 grams.

700 grams, that's huge! What year is that medal?
I figured it was time to get some stuff between 408 and 1795. So, I picked up a couple small lots of medieval coins from ebay, these are what I've (with some help) identified (or nearly) so far
Bohemia, Silesia, City of Schweidnitz. 1518-26, I can read the "15" but not the second half of the date.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces65413.html
Hungarian, probably early 1500's. But there's basically nothing about bronze coins from that period on Numista or anywhere else on the internet I can find. Doubt it's worth much or I'll ever get an exact ID. It was in the same lot of 5 coins (3 other coppers were complete garbage) as the Bohemian silver, which is really why I bought it.
And bought a lot of 9 small Ottoman silver coins, ebay said 1512-20 AD. I figured out these 2 are https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces127354.html or something very very similar. Haven't figured out the other 7 yet, but probably all Akce era as well.

Yeah, it sure has a stunning design. Sometimes less is more...
I'm hoping to get one of each Inter-Allied Victory medal, but seeing as this will only be my second (after the British issue) I've got a long way ahead of me... and that's just the more common types (Belgium, USA, Italy, etc.); I don't know how I'm going to get a hold of the rarer, commonly faked ones (e.g. Cuba, Romania, Czechoslovakia).

The medieval font is hard to read, but I can see all the letters, it's not too heavily worn
I just wish they put dates on coins back then, James I was the longest reigning king ever on the Iberian Peninsula, but that leaves my coin with a 64 year question mark about mintage. But I really liked the age and condition and bought it because I love Barcelona, such a beautiful city, and I wanted a piece of history from it.

Agreed about Barcelona, it's a wonderful place... I had the chance to buy some of those medieval dineros while I was taking an extended stay in Barcelona back in May, but passed them up to complete my Spanish LMU type set instead.
My other WWI French military medal arrived today as well; it's even more stunning in hand, as the victory figure on the obverse is in ultra-high relief.

Recent Purchase, I had no idea what this was when i purchased, with a mixture of western and eastern text, confused me for a while, so i thought i had better look under India, There it was under British India ( madras ) circa 1808 - 1812 decent buy for around 1 euro

Picked up a cheap ebay lot of 50 uncleaned Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth coppers from 1660-1666. None are particularly good, but that's expected when the words "cheap" and "uncleaned" are combined. And one random 1754 was mixed in for some reason. Been waiting 3 weeks for them to arrive from Ukraine. I might be able to identify a few more with work, so far positively ID'd date and mint on 19 of the 49, plus the 1754. The obverse are all the same, Jan II. The reverse are either the eagle or the knight, with a few different mint marks. The 1754 is August III, with a coat of arms on the back, has a bend but otherwise nice condition.
Hopefully I'll get some more interesting, better condition stuff soon. All these that y'all are posting make mine look terrible!

Went through some of the more expensive silver trays (5-10€ each) today, and I got this for just 9€ 
:
Sure it's a bit bent, but Krause lists 1691 for this type in VG8 at 50 USD. I swear when I saw this in the tray my eyes popped out so hard they still ache now! Looks like continental dealers aren't too familiar with English coins...
Also, my first Syrian emergency piastre from WWII:

Some Monaco new francs
I like to have some pieces that are "low mintage", these are all 25,000 or so, but they are not expensive rarities.
also, I confess I am a closet royalist.

Received these coins earlier this evening on a swap:
1- A Russian kopeck - tsar Mikhail I (around 1620)
2- An unidentified italian medieval
3- A super beautiful hungarian denar
(some photos are not good as others, I know)
Credits to Sneyoz for these nice coins.

In all seriousness though, as long as they're ceremonial, declawed constitutional monarchs that know their place, I believe the "National Razor" can be put safely away.

I don't really think that was politics, it was a joke. 
Your 1944 50 centimes is really making me jealous, it's one spot I can't seem to fill no matter how hard I try by the way.

引用する: "Mr. Midnight"Aye, I know about the 1947. Good thing I'm a type collector and can easily get a hold of dozens of other extremely common Morlon 50 ct dates to get the green tick on it's Numista page.
引用する: "CassTaylor"Your 1944 50 centimes is really making me jealous, it's one spot I can't seem to fill no matter how hard I try by the way.i was glad to find it for US$12. I already have the 1franc.
There is also a bronze 1947 50c., "struck for colonial use in Africa" , which seems to be the key date of the type - ebay sellers want $100+ for badly circulated ones.
1944 type still eludes me, though.
