@Chute72: Thank you. Do you know where your Great Grandfather was from exactly? I guess it would be a nice starting point for building a small collection of coins that circulated where he lived. Even if you'd only get some minors, I imagine it would be fascinating to have coins your ancestors may have used more than 130 years ago in Germany. I received these two Prussian minors within the last couple of days, and I am waiting for 2 more coins to come. The first one is a 1783 3 Pfennig coin, minted in Berlin under the famous Frederick the Great. Is is not really a common coin so I am happy that I got it for a low price.   The second one is a really nice 4 Pfennig coin, also minted in Berlin. I bought it on ebay.com and I always gotta smile when I buy a German coin in the US, that now comes back to Berlin, in this case more than 150 years after it has been minted. Quite a journey, right? ;) It has barely been in circulation and therefore replaces another coin of that type in a rather bad shape.

 The addition of the day: 1 1780 Maria Theresia Thaler 1 2016 Kangaroo 1 1980 200 Norwegian Kroner 1 1902 1 Øre 1 1907 1 Øre 1 1907 2 Øre 1 1919 2 Øre This actually completes my 1 and 2 Øre type collections. Just 30 coins to go and my Norwegian Kroner type collection is finished. Unfortunately for me, this includes a few rare gold and silver ones... Sorry for potato quality of the picture, it's taken with my cell phone at my desk at work. Not really optimal conditions.

Thanks Jbuck! Another addition to my favourite coin design of all time, the Voyageur dollar.
Also a beautiful selection UltraRant, congrats on completing the 1 and 2 Øre type part of your collection!

  Decided to finally bite the bullet and get into Morgan's (always intimidated by the varieties and acronyms). Started with a VG08 1893-S Quite a steal at 500 off PCGS price guide value. Happy happy :)
