It doesn't have Umm Al Qaiwain (Qiwain) anywhere except in the picture. Maybe the seller inherited or robbed it and he doesn't know a thing about it. He must saw the arabic lettering and could only think about Saudi Arabia.
I don't want to get hyped as the auction ends during the night here so I will be asleep and someone else might stumble on it and rob me of my lottery find.
Wrongfully tagged items are common on eBay; they often won't sell even when anyone could snatch them for less than 5% their real value; the problem being the wrong tagging which keeps away the many probably interested bidders who simply won't find the item as it doesn't show on their searches.

Απόσπασμα: eitan190did you win?
5 DOLLARS!!! Just barely above Melt value, which I am sure was the sellers only goal, to sell it because it is silver.I hope he doesn't suspect why I decided to pay $15 for express registered mail for a 5 dollar item
That reduces the list to:
*Manual override for Micronesia and UAR.
Next victims will surely be Bretagne; which you guys kindly helped me to spot some interesting sales, and the always elusive Kiau Chau, that I always lose on the last seconds of auctions. But that will have to wait until after I buy my PS4 because Fallout 4 is nearing and old and everything I still love playing intricate RPGs (could play it on the PC, but for being an old person, for me the PC is for work and coins).
Right now I can't do anything else but party for the 5 Dollar coin, I am listening to some old crazy songs because I think I just got a natural high El gato volador

Απόσπασμα: DucatxYou're very lucky !The coin is no more Proof, in the sense that it looks to have been stored outside a protective capsule or sealed blisters for a very long time and collided with other coins. But, who cares!
Specially on those coins. If it was a modern more abundant one being unprotected would surely drop its value to the metal floor, or near to it, but on these rare ones it does drop the value, but not to a 60th of it

Had a Bretagne coin on my Watchlist, as the seller had given it a discount before. It ended and he re-published it at full initial price, so I has like "meh", then he did the same 10% discount as before, so again I was like "uhm" and just now he did a 25% so I was like "sold". This is the little beauty I got for less than the asking price of most of the Bretagne Anonymous ones published:

Hi guys, time to put those collections to work!! let's get my "Round the world....Numista style!" thread up and going, show off all those different countries and give us all some eye candy. I've only got 80-odd countries, so I can't do it all myself

Right now I am so busy updating Mexico's catalog...
And after that there is still the other two that shouldn't have as many coins but deserve the same love, Guatemala and Nicaragua. And finally Mexico's Revolutionary... OMG that one might not seem like it, but it is an incredibly big task, because a lot of the coins are so rare that it will take me time to find sources for them
This has kept me from seeking missing countries, which has allowed me to save up for the Emirates coins I commended to my guy in Dubai, as well as for my PS4

Απόσπασμα: EerovisserCurrently at 198 countries, when I joined in September 2014 I started with 125 countries.Hé hé
Wonder how long it will take me to get from the 200 mark to 300. Seems to get harder and harder after reaching the 200 mark. How long did it take some of the 300 Club members to get from 200 to 300 ? At what point do you think you need to start buying coins, because trading for some countries is to difficult ?
Reaching 200 countries mainly by the mean of swaps is a valuable performance, totally in line with the Numista way
And I'd be glad to help you getting new countries
Then the delay to reach 300 will be inversely proportional to the weight of your wallet
It took me one year to go from 248 countries to 300:

Anyway, congratulations! How many countries do you have left?
In Numista I am missing 12; with Micronesia, RCA and UAR removed because those 3 don't have coins. (RCA was created by mistake by someone who might not known it already existed as CAR and now its bugged and won't go away). There are at least 5 I am sure I'll never get because of how rare/expensive they are. So if I reach 390 I would consider it "Mission accomplished" (GW Bush style) XD

Yes, I'm fairly sure most of us don't own a coin from Iles de France et Bonaparte (which really seems to be the only "impossible" country. You could get Gold Coast or Dahomey if you really wanted to...
Interstingly, even on Numista (a very French site) no one owns a coin from there! There's one for sale on eBay right now for $2000.

Only 2 Emirate States left to get from my buddy at Dubai. After that maybe only South Sudan would be doable.
As usual, any help finding options for the missing ones would be welcome.

Απόσπασμα: "dptashny"http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281773272475&globalID=EBAY-USI'll keep away from Etruria until someone updates the Numista catalog, because I am sure there are more coins for it, so trying to get the only one present at the moment would be too hard and expensive, it might be that some of the coins are very common coppers or tins. So I'll keep away from it until someone decides to improve the catalog. The same goes for Aksum/Axum. The only old one I might get is Frisia, but those are pretty expensive, but not being ancient helps a lot finding options.
But its not really Etrurian!!
Sorry for getting your hopes up...
Mesopotamia... I am waiting for me to be in a clay field during a storm so I can make one by myself XD
By the way, Frisia I found a lot of coins as Anglo-Saxon; these are the Sceat coins. The prices are high, but not ridiculous high. But still it would need some saving.

Got the last of my orders today. Everything is catalog and that puts me at 314 countries by numista counting. With 2795 different types that give me 8.9 coins per country, which I think is pretty good. I've got a couple of cheaper countries I can still get, but then I am going to have to save up.

Απόσπασμα: "jadejackal"It was necessary and it is historically appropriate because Venezuela wasn't always "Venezuela" it was initially a region conformed of Provinces depending on others like Gran Colombia (hence why they don't have a proper Colonial Real because they got their coinage from Colombia and others).
Απόσπασμα(no I am not trolling)
It sure feels like it though.
So in the beginning they were provinces seeking independence, and this is why it is important making the separation.
And since they are now created it also felt right moving the Leprosariums coinage as well there because those were provincial coinage that could only be used in each of them, so it is a Province (several in fact that had leprosariums) because of how it was believed that anything that a leprosy touched could carry the bacteria/disease; until it was later clarified that -unless that you yourself were a very unhygienic person allowing the bacteria to thrive- there was no chance of getting it.
BTW those Leprosarium coins would be the easiest to cover that country.

Venezuela had too many provinces to leave them fused. If a country only has 1 or 2 plus Leprosariums or them alone as provinces I doubt the separation would be made.

- Araucania & Patagonia: found in tokens
- Austro-Hungarian Monarchy: no proper coinage, shared between Austria & Hungary
- British Guiana: part of Guyana coinage
- Cape of Good Hope: maybe Cape colony tokens?
- China, Soviet Republic: maybe inside the China (Republic) coins?
- German Notgeld + Germany, Empire + Germany, 3rd Reich + Germany, Weimar Republic = Germany (1871-1948)
- Guinea, Portuguese: included in Guinea-Bissau
- Indo-Hephthalite kingdom: to include in Indian states? Hunnic Empire?
- Isle de Bourbon = Bourbon Island (included in Réunion)
- Italian Eritrea: included in Eritrea
- Kingdom of Jerusalem: not Judea but Crusader states
- Newfoundland: may split to be a new country
- Saint Eustatius: BES islands?
- Seleucid Empire: part of Persia (ancient) coinage
- Tobago: included in Trinidad and Tobago

295/300 just about there-anyone notice any easier/cheaper ones missing- real coins not uncirculated tokens
notice 1 country dropped in the last couple of days, has anyone noted why the change--maybe someone shold let traders know when changes made-i.e this country added- this country dropped-this country combined etc
Tried to add NORFOLK ISLAND as new country,but referee said NO!!!part of Australia--have a tourist dollar that is a bit of a gimic ,I thought it maybe considered a token -only issued as a $5-- this one uncirculated
but used locally,(i believe)so worth a try
Norfolk Island has also featured on a t least 2 Aussie commerative coins (similar to USA quarters series) which are circulating on the island
Certainly no worse than the issues of US administered PALAU and MARSHALL ISLANDS etc- who have issued a proliferation of collectors junk, but no circulating coins- unless of course you include the US quarters for islands-- yet are set aside as seperate identities as numista nations
