What should I buy (90-100€) large coins 1600-1917 [επιλυμένο]

Again its the time to buy coins. This time I think I would want old and large coins, or maybe odd coins. I have a few ideas, but here is what I would want:

Large coins (Over 50kg) or extremely small coins such as the Nepal Jawa/1/4 Jawa. Also such coins as the 1/2 crown gun money, or maybe some interesting siege coins.

Some ideas:
Laos boat money (up to 50€)
1/2 Crown Irish gun money (Extremely circulated one maybe, up to 50€)
Thailand bullet money
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111330.html (up to 90€)

Also, you may suggest over 50kg coins not on numista but on the krause catalogues (of the coins of 1701-1800, 1801-1900).

I will buy the coins on sunday, and I think I will buy this very used 1/2 Crown gun money worth 45€. (I thought I could buy a gun money coin, as I saw sc.rednek buy one. Thanks cmaclean for the original idea)

If anyone has some suggestions, 20 hours until I will buy the coins, but I will need help choosing them.

Interestingly these were not only made of guns, but also church bells, pans, cooking pots, other brass objects and scrap.

2 Pence 1797, probably the best large coin

Good idea, but I think its a bit too usual, its sold everywhere and has NRI 27, but still okay conditioned ones cost over 50€.

all these questions should really be for you to decide.

Find which themes of collecting you like and try to focus on those. You seem to like coins from Finland + Siege Currency, why not focus on those (For Siege currency quite a big budget would be needed as they usually don't come cheap).
If you want to find nice quality uncommon gems, your highest chances will be at auction houses.
You will have some additional fees to the final price to pay 15-25% but even then there are some bargains to be made.
Here for example a nice Taler that is not that common and in nice condition can be found with quite a low starting price, see here for example https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=5333&category=167899&lot=4448635

​The problem with collecting Finnish coins is that the only ones I don't have are types of the 1 and 5 Penniä coins and the only affordable Turku coin I could buy is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces144684.html and its not sold often. The most interesting siege coins are (almost) always worth over 200€. Maybe something interesting for example countermarked coinage/coinage cut from other coins/uncommon coins that aren't shaped like coins, that aren't pre-1600.

Under two hours left. I still need suggestions

I bought a Curacao stuiver https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28630.html and a Thai bullet money coin.

Why do you keep asking everyone else what you should buy? It's your collection, you should have a wish list of coins you want from your area of collection and chip away at them when you get enough funds to find buy them. We don't know what you like.

​I do not own a krause catalogue, and I know that there are A LOT of interesting coins there. I also have a wish list, but it includes coins that can wait. I usually collect very uncommon coins, usually ones that aren't on numista, can't be found in the local numismatic shop and appear on numista once in a month. I have gotten many ideas from other Numista members. Before I saw users buy for example siege coins, plate money, coins minted before -100 and many other coins, I did not even knew they existed. Its very simple, interesting coins.

You can always take new ideas for what to buy from the coins you see in the daily threads, or in MPCC rounds, or even in discussions on the forum; here's a good example of numismatic discourse you can take ideas from: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic74495.html

By the way, [ moderated vp ]

You can easily make a search by weight on Numista.
E.g.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?mode=avance&p=1&l=russia-empire&r=&e=russia-empire&d=&ca=3&no=&i=&v=&m=&a=&t=&dg=1700-1917&w=50-100000&u=&f=&g=&c=&tb=y&tc=y&cat=y

Russian Empire's 5 kopeks are quite nice and affordable coins:)
