1877 Switzerland 1/2 + 1 franc:   These were found in a mixed lot of older world coins at an estate sale. Krause catalog values in high grade are 'way up there'.. I wonder how realistic those figures are.

MikeF--It is a raw coin described as XF-AU when I bought it. It had been dipped but is now re-toning.

How about some large copper? I really like this and may have to get some more.  1877 Japan 1 sen:   If you're not familiar with these, here's a size comparison: 
In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

1877 Spain 5 pesetas; 0.900 silver; 37 mm; mintage = 6.9 million +:   This is a problem coin.. I do hope to find a better example sometime.

Nice original looking Trade dollar Jbuck! I guess I'll start off 76 with one. I think this one has been dipped and retoned. But I can't get command of the toning progression of this series. They tend to tone ugly whether it's their first skin or second.
