This trip was awesome, not only did I get a nice tan, but I got some very nice coins.

First I visited Bangor and I found an awesome coin shop:

Hope you enjoyed . It could really help if some experts could give me grade/value for the 1848 3 pfenninge, the 1655 4 mariengroschen, the Brazil 1893 200 Reis and the Mexican coin set.


Also if anybody wants the name of the coin shop, I could give the name of it, really cool place!

Thank you

For a while I thought I slipped into the World Forum. Some really neat looking coins.

I'm sort of poor on the locations of places. Where in the U.S. is Bangor? Or does U.S. stand for a place somewhere?
Yet some nice coins.

Love the Brazilian 200 reis 1893. I also have one of these but in a somewhat lower grade (it even has a die crack in the date, but a different one - it connects the 8 to the rim). I think yours is the first example of the series I ever saw online without googling for it - so I'm very happy that it has the same date as mine!
Fun fact (and much better visible in your grade than in mine): all five stars in the Southern Cross picture have different numbers of rays (top to bottom of your image, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 8).

Thanks! I'm surprised I got it in such good condition, no damage, wear and remaining luster. All the others I've seen are worn, damaged and dirty.

I think I'll post it in the World Coin Grading forum to see what condition it's in.

Thanks for the interesting fact :)

Well we didn't stay in the Bronx for long because my dad was scared of some of the bad neighbourhoods lol. But Manhattan was really nice, we had a great time in Times Square and Central Park and we had some nice Halal food from a cart, really delicious.

The only good thing in the Bronx is Yankee Stadium

I love the food carts in the city, great food. We call the hot dogs "Dirty Water Dogs"

Yeah, I saw the stadium from the highway, but we didn't know which part of the city it was in so we didn't go. Also, you just made hungry for a hot-dog haha!

The Bronx is odd for some reason, around Yankee Stadium, it's nice; parks, shops, the whole 9 yards.

But go a couple more blocks, it's horrible.

Did you hit any coin shops in Times Square? Or how about Canal Street?

Never went to Canal Street, and my dad thought there was to much traffic to search for coin shops in the Square.
