I'll start it off this month, I picked up a bulk lot yesterday but I've been sorting them out and listing them in my catalogue today so that counts as September. I must say that I've been pretty lucky with the last 2 lots. Here's a small sample. I've pulled out 50+ silver coins to process

Ive been obsessed with Monaco recently. now I have bought a FDC mint set, 1995

The ones from the 70s and 80s with silver coins are out of my reach, unfortunately, and i have non interest in the euro era.

Looks like those were minted on identical planchets as coins of the new French Franc.

yes, all Monaco new francs, since 1960, were minted on common planchets with their French counterparts.
The 1940s-1950s old francs were too. edit: with some exceptions.

edit to add, I am a little jealous that you can go to Monaco on a day trip if you like, and I will never go there.

Something I noticed is the 0,50 NF, or 50 centimes coin from 1962, similar to France's own issue 1962-63:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3965.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces692.html

was replaced by a nickel 1/2 Franc coin after just a couple of years in 1964, because people were confusing it with the similar 20 centimes Lagriffoul. And guess what, in 1965 Monaco did the same thing:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3821.html

Goes to show just how closely Monegasque (that's their demonym) numismatics are tied to French.

I could (and did) go to Monaco when I was staying in Nice a while back, and to be honest other than the novelty of being the second smallest sovereign state in the world, it just feels like any other French city on the Côte d'Azur. It's not like I've got millions to gamble away in their casinos either.... maybe I'll visit their coin dealers next time I go.

yes, one year only in Monaco. That was my 1962 entry in the coins by year thread.
The stainless steel France 5 centime, which also had a short career, was never issued in Monaco.

A lot of 13 uncleaned and unidentified "ceitil" coins just came in the mail

This is the first time I am cleaning dirt encrusted coins so I am really excited! A bit afraid as well, but it is an experience I might as well have. I will only officially add them to my collection when they are cleaned and identified, so I'm not sure this will happen this month but I am so excited about them I can't help posting it here!

Yes, well I will never go to Nice or St. Tropez, either, or Hyères. Anyway, never mind the casinos, did you go to the aquarium or the Anthropology museum? I believe there is a stamp and coin museum there also!
And in fact, I see I have bought a few things from one of the dealers on your list, on ebay - hope to have something to post here in a day or two.

Never even heard of it I'm afraid.... I'm not much for contemporary music (I know how hipster this all makes me sound!), and generally I'm interested in popular music from the early 20th century. Most songs in my playlists are from roughly 1890-1940, and I'm getting particularly into big band/swing from the 30's right now.

Tune of the day, I've shared this before on Numista but a classic never goes out of style

Last week, it was my 18th birthday; I deliberately asked everyone I know to not buy me any coins (for obvious reasons), but I did go and treat myself numismatically for once; I don't remember the last time I spent more than 50 euro on a single coin!

Here it is, my first (real) Swiss shooting thaler:

I suspect it may have been cleaned previously, but still my new favourite coin.

On the side, here's an 1897 German East Africa 1/2 Rupee I saw going for a low price, and snapped up too:

Got a bunch of silvers coming on from Ebay too, but those haven't arrived yet.

I was actually planning on buying an Austrian commemorative shooting thaler from 1868, but someone else had apparently bought that coin just a few days before.

This made me wonder whether Brunk's catalogue had any countermarks for New Zealand. He has only one which can be definitely attributed to NZ:

QUEEN STREET WHARF
AUCKLAND
TOLL
6 PENCE

Three specimens are know, all on Aussie ½d of unknown date, but obviously not earlier than 1911. This is something that could show up one day on eBay or elsewhere and go for $100 ... or $3 if nobody knows anything about it at the time of the auction.

Yes, that’s true! No matter how well you click pictures of your coins, they don’t look as beautiful as they are in actuality. I am sure your coins are prettier than the pictures too :D

I think that I may be out of my depth in this section with all the great looking coins that people are adding to their collections .
I got some more bags of 10p's looking for the "Alphabet" ones ( I'm in the UK ) from the bank & in one of them, some kind person had put this for me.

I didn't expect to get a coloured one for a long time .

My latest finds!

Particularly satisfied with the Italian and German states coins, as well as the Décime of Louis XVIII; it's one of those coins that kept evading my grasp.

The silver Belgian 2 Franc coins are also a nice find, but my favourite is probably the Cyprus 1 Shilling from 1947 on the upper-right.

so they must have sold strong beer back then as customers would maybe say
'is it me or did I just see a man waving a top hat go past riding a goat ?!'

Here are better images (of a different token, not mine) with a different address ...

I went on a road trip and brought this stuff home today -
some Irish Republic half crowns, the start of a new collection

Some French 10 franc coins, I don't have much interest in new francs, but I like this big bronze 10er, and it is on a common planchet with one of my favorite Monaco types.

Lastly, some Latin American dimes and a quarter. all minted in Philadelphia, except for the 1963 Dominican Republic centennial coin, which is of 0,640 silver, and was struck at the British Royal mint.

A bunch of nice, old, big silver coins arrived today

1946 Romania 100,000 Lei - Mihail I
Really like this one! I think I'm going to go after the 25,000 Lei coin too. How many coins (other than the hyperinflation era German Notgeld) do you know with a six digit denomination?

1938 Yugoslavia 50 Dinara - Petar II
Probably cleaned/polished, and I think I overpaid a little bit for it; but nonetheless a welcome addition. I already had the 1932 Alexander I 50 Dinara, as well as the 1938 20 Dinara.

1948 Mo Mexico 1 Peso
Not very impressive, or expensive; I bought this for just 2,50 euro. But it was one of those common types that I didn't have that I should have gotten a long time ago, so glad I have it down now.

1943 Uruguay 50 Centesimos
@Mr.Midnight I now understand your love for those Uruguay coins!

I just today won this on ebay, paid a bit more than I wanted but I think it's really really cool. Picture is from ebay since I don't have it in hand yet, and I can't take this high resolution pictures anyway

I also picked up a 1976 Isle of Man USA bicentennial, just because I think it's hilarious seeing England and USA on the same coin

Been bored this last week and bidding on a bunch of auctions trying to catch the "no other bidder" thing, most are from overseers so might be a while

Απόσπασμα: "sc.rednek"I just today won this on ebay, paid a bit more than I wanted but I think it's really really cool. Picture is from ebay since I don't have it in hand yet, and I can't take this high resolution pictures anyway

I also picked up a 1976 Isle of Man USA bicentennial, just because I think it's hilarious seeing England and USA on the same coin

Been bored this last week and bidding on a bunch of auctions trying to catch the "no other bidder" thing, most are from overseers so might be a while

Thats a nice coin! Is it Russian? I own one similar coin, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces112412.html . Here in Finland we call them "Tipparaha", meaning "Drop money" or "Droplet money".

I haven't bough anything for months (I mainly swapped), but this month I've managed to get new coins. Some from swaps, and this time I spent money too.

Uganda 5 schillings. Came from a small collection of 200 foreign coins I bid. Whole collection cost arund 28€, so it worth it.

United Kingdom

Egypt - someone offered me Egyptian commemoraives for around 0.50€ each. I bought them all, and these are the ones I could add to my collection.

And last but not least, China and Chinese related coins.

What!

You got all those big silver commemoratives for 0,50€ each?!
I demand you get me in touch with whoever sold you those!

Seriously though, that was a nice deal you got. I'd be a bit more careful of those Fat Man dollars though...

They are not silver, they are copper-nickel qirshes.

Fat Man dollars are authentic in my opinion. They didn't come from the same place. Weight ok, size and thickness ok, edge ok, passed ping, ice and magnet test, checked with ultrasonic too. Also checked with magnifying glass, no sign of weak details and I also compared them to known transfer die fakes. Their only problem is that they were cleaned.

Here in my country most collectors only collect Hungarian coins. Modern foreign issues are very cheap, even if they are rare. The best part is that most people usually don't even care to search on the web about the coin they sell (mostly because they only speak Hungarian), so generally you can buy non-precious metal coins from Europe (+USA, Canada) for 0.15-0.30€ each and exotic (Asia, Africa, South-America, Oceania) for 0.50-1€.

Yes it is russian, wire money because they'd hammer a piece of wire and break it off, resulting in an oval shape with 2 break spots on the ends. But this is also an error coin, it was flipped over and re-struck

Got these in the mail today,

tin 1 Pitis from Palembang, Malay Peninsula, 1789. Is this the small or normal "0" variety? It's obviously not the retrograde "2" (wouldn't that make it a "6"?) and not the 123 variety either. The date 1203 is at the very bottom

And an 1800's Moroccan piece, the reverse is a layer of tan colored dirt, I'm debating how hard I want to try and clean it to see if I can get an ID. For now it's soaking in some soapy water.

Απόσπασμα: "CassTaylor"A bunch of nice, old, big silver coins arrived today :

1946 Romania 100,000 Lei - Mihail I
Really like this one! I think I'm going to go after the 25,000 Lei coin too. How many coins (other than the hyperinflation era German Notgeld) do you know with a six digit denomination?

Turkish hyperinflation circulating:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1321.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9269.html

Turkish hyperinflation non circulating (there are a lot more like this, check catalogue). These coins have the largest number of digits on them as far as I know.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces95976.html

Ukraine non circulating:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces85688.html

There are a lot of commemorative coins from other countries as well with 100.000 on them, I won't link them all.

And the coin with the highest face value (unfortunatelly no zeros on this one) is a Notgeld:

Απόσπασμα: "neilithicman"More aussie coins from a bulk lot that I picked up for melt value. The photos don't do them justice. The parliament florin and the 1954 florin have glowing luster that doesn't show up in the pictures.

I like very much the 1927 Parliament florin. It's so... 1920s. While Canada and Newfoundland got their own coinage several decades before Australia, it took us a longer time to have pictorials on the reverse, except for the 1912-14 gold $5 and $10.

1938 Yugoslavia 50 Dinara - Petar II
Probably cleaned/polished, and I think I overpaid a little bit for it; but nonetheless a welcome addition. I already had the 1932 Alexander I 50 Dinara, as well as the 1938 20 Dinara.

1948 Mo Mexico 1 Peso
Not very impressive, or expensive; I bought this for just 2,50 euro. But it was one of those common types that I didn't have that I should have gotten a long time ago, so glad I have it down now.

1943 Uruguay 50 Centesimos
@Mr.Midnight I now understand your love for those Uruguay coins!

The entire Mihai I series is awesome!!!

Awesome, thank you! The seller had it listed as Boris Godunov, 1598-1605, but none of those matched the lettering, so I figured it had to be another ruler.

Another Monaco FDC set - 1975

It is a bit shop-worn and light-struck, but the seals have not been broken, and the price was right.

It has the fine crown size silver 50f, but no one-, or five-centime coins were issued in Monaco before 1976.

These are harder to find than just about any type from Monaco. Only 25,000 minted.
It's really tiny -15mm 1.6g.
One wonders what use a 1 centime coin could have been, by the 1970s, besides a tourist souvenir...

and 2,5 Qirsh Abdul Aziz, very rare coin ! for $ 34 ! Hello ! wake me up somebody !  :)

Also I found such an interesting token on our local flea market - it is very interesting data, if someone knows how hard relations are between Armenians and Azerbaijani people. Georgia always was a place where people needed only Peace, and its only place , where Armenians and Azerbaijani people are not fighting against each other. <3
its double interesting because of misspelling on it ( AZRBAIJAN instead of AZERBAIJAN)

Beautiful coins. Has someone tried carving something on the silver dollar?

So these are some of the coins you bought with the $1200? Exquisite taste.

I'd love to see the others when they arrive!

(Notice the rotation)

(I also bought a low profile gas block but haven't installed it yet)

And that big lot of coins

The top two rows are all french coins, the heavily worn one is THIS, 1638 I think.
And in no particular order, and not all inclusive here are some links...
Belgium/Austrian Netherlands 1750
German State Anhalt-Bernburg, 1839
German state Baden, 1851
1848
and 1830
German state Brunswick-wolfenbuttel, 1795
German State Hamburg, 1765
and 1794
German State Hannover, 1842,
and 1863
and 9 more from other german states, feeling lazy not going to link them all
Greece, 1869
Prince-bishopric of Liege, 1642
and 3 of 1660 (all 4 of these really poor condition)
Spanish Netherlands, 1578-1580 (oldest coin from this lot)
and 5 of THESE, only one is visible date 1644
Portugal 1883
4 of THESE, if you know the dates they were made please let me know

Still waiting for the other's I bought to arrive, some are shipping from europe so could be up to a month
