paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/17/2017 9:10 pm I've got my world coin binder out tonight looking for non-American stuff that's in decent shape that I can use other than my German States and UK which are mostly photo'd.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 03/17/2017 9:36 pm As this thread will progress, we will have to move from common machine struck coins to coins, well, less common and less machine struck. I suppose I might as well prepare you for it in advance I should really have posted this coin yesterday (for 1949), but I didn't realize the date until it was too late already, and I really wanted to post it anyway. Besides, technically speaking, the date converts to 1948/49 (if mostly the latter), so I suppose it can technically count? It's not like we're short of real 1948 coins, anyway. Kingdom of Yemen, 1/8 riyal, 1368 AH (1948/9 AD). As you can probably see, this little coin looks extremely crude - completely inappropriate for mid-20th century. (Sorry for the crappy photos, incidentally - smartphone camera under indoor lighting. I'm surprised it came out that good, really.) Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 03/17/2017 11:59 pm Might as well post an actual nice 1948 coin... Saint Pierre and Miquelon, 1 franc 1948. (Compare and contrast the Reunion coin above.) The smartphone photos really don't do it justice. Aside from a slight pinkish tone, it looks as if it came from the presses yesterday. If there ever was a coin that deserved being called Brilliant Uncirculated, this is it. I'm honestly unsure how it managed to stay that way. Report this Post to the Staff
