Those Canadian coins really are nice. I like the concept of Queen Elizabeth and the mirror. I especially like the train. I have one of the 1981 versions.
@Princetane There is not enough time in life to know all I would love to know. It would be great for me if I could look at that coin and read it! Great history!
And, of course, jbuck - the Ike is great!

Here's a lot of world coins I received as part of a trade on numista. The Philippines coins are part of a US administration type set in putting together.

I was on a brief hunt for a decent "for real" AU 1884 S Morgan recently. I bought about 3 at auction at not bad prices and they are possible AU 50-53, but even that would depend on the "mood" of the TPG. But last week I found and bought one that seems to be a solid mid-AU. Here it is! The pic of the obverse was out of the flip, but not the rev.

The third and final of these Turkish coins of the 18th century  This coin is exactly like the first one I showed, except its a year later!  You will notice 2 "1" in the 3rd row, meaning its year 11. This one is a better condition, they should arrive soon! Love the shiny Morgan dollar - it looks too nice to be AU, I was going to say MS.

Apparently according to Numista, they say (The 2 Zolotas) , "minted in Islamboul, the victorious warrior (Al Gazi) two zolota, Coronation AH 1187". The other says something like, The sultan Abdul Hamid who is the Sultan being the son of the Sultan in the 10th year of his Sultan nate. The word "sultan" is repeated at least 4 times, just in case anyone is in doubt who is in charge.
