Sorry guys, the bimetallic French 10 franc coin--though a nice piece--doesn't have silver in the center. It's nickel with an aluminum-bronze ring. In addition to finding many of them available in nice quality on the market for decent prices, you can find perfect-condition examples in mint sets and proof sets!

No, $10 for 10 pesos (diez pesos), which was made in silver for a couple years in the 90s. Sorry...

Here's my latest buy. What! you say? That's not a coin! Very true. It's an auction catalogue.

Continuing-List-To-Show-Everyones-Latest-Acquisitions

A catalogue for part of the collection of coins amassed by Richard Cyril Lockett to be precise. Which was sold through Glendinings auctioneers in London through thirteen sales over the years 1955-61!

This is Part IV, English coins Part II, from October 1956, which covers a fair number of coins I'm interested in and includes one I own. Although that one sadly isn't illustrated.

An ex library copy, so neatly bound. Plus it's been annotated with the names of the buyers and how much they paid, which makes it a valuable research tool for me.

Need I say I'm quite pleased with my purchase?

My oldest coin and first addition from the 16th century. There are 47 varieties of this coin ranging from "relatively" common up to RR. I thought at first it was an R2 variety but I'm still happy with it.

A few recent additions to the hoard.
The first two were bullion purchases. Newfie 20c. was also posted in the Canada forum. Too bad about the poorly placed rim dink on the balboa, eh.

Here's an old 'ore' from Sweden. Actual size= 27mm.
I heart these large worldwide coppers; have been thinking about starting a thread for them. Opinions?

Here is one Geo. Washington might have handled! These 'pillar dollars' did see circulation in the colonies prior to the mid-1800's, although this specimen from Bolivia would have had a long, arduous journey. Actual size= 41mm.

This is a very common coin - but it's hard to resist an AU 19th century coin for a couple of quid.

I like that coin, Demarco! My latest purchase is nothing terribly rare or expensive, but it is a major upgrade from the one which USED to fill this particular Dansco album space.

Just bought my first "hockey puck". In hand it is a very impressive coin. Now I want more of those ATB 5 ounce coins. Photo of it next to an ASE.
