How Far Back Can We Go? Second Edition! Ended At 1492 Waiting On 1491

ohh wye nott

The toning fairy decided to go fairly symmetrical with her brush when she graced this little proof gem. Colors alive.

Great Britain 1911 One Penny. One of my favorite coins in my collection

1911 Liberty Head Nickel

I see a 1911 gold Indian half eagle, so let me be the first to throw a 1911 gold Indian quarter eagle up there! Boom! First gold I have ever bought, and I love it!

Lovely coins everyone!

Here's a 1911 Swedish 5-ore:



These coins were in circulation for some 60 years, but over the past 40 years Sweden has carried out a massive cull of its low-denomination coins. The 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50-ore denominations have all disappeared, leaving the 1-krone as the lowest value in circulation. I have read in a magazine article that Sweden would like to be the first country to abolish cash altogether, moving entirely to card and electronic payments. When ABBA sang "Money Money Money", they certainly were not referring to 5-ore coins...

Today's pick for 1911 is a silver 3 Mark from Prussia:



Three marks were the 20th century replacements for the 19th century Thaler coins. Those Thalers had the inconvenience of being local coinage and having slightly different weights and sizes across the old feodalic borders.

Moreover, 19th century Thalers are much smaller (about 1/2 oz) than their 18th century counterparts, the Kronenthalers of the Austrian Empire.

One part about this post, is that I get to
look at some of my coins I have not looked at in years.
And see that some need some attention, or upgraded.
