Additions to your collection - January 2021

Cita: "makarije"​Just bought this nice Victoria penny. I'm pretty new in numismatics, so I'm not sure how to grade it.
​What do you think guys?
​
​
​
​It looks like it was cleaned with something harsh.

​Not bad at all, a great companion to the half crowns and florins. I would say cleaned historically as the colour has returned. Conditionwiase GG is being a bit generous I would say aVF as Victoria has a lot fo wear and her face is quite flat. The other side is almost VF.

Ireland 2007 10 Euros - Celtic Culture;



So happy to get my first coin denominated higher than 2 Euros.

Cita: "COINMAN1"​After a terrific exchange with a collector in the USA, I acquired the following coins
​
​
​
​
​All are from Hutt River Province with a face value of $5
​Series:- Fathers of Baseball
​
​All coins, where necessary, have been added to the Numista database, and others have has a photograph added.
​
​This is a great start to 2021

​

I have never come across these - even as loose single coins.

The Principality of Hutt River's coins are of interest to me, as it is now a dead country since August 2020.

Yes, they are part of the British Commonwealth series.

little bit late to share my January acquisitions but here they are:

Clockwise from top right:
Mercantile Bank $100 (1974) - I had another one for a while but traded it off for this one because it was in better condition.
Chartered Bank $5 (1967) - paid good money for this one.
HSBC $1000 (1985) - paid even more money for this one.
Chartered Bank $50 (1982) - one of my personal favorites.

-Nice adds for the beginning of 2021 "KS5331"
I think almost every world currency collector likes the Mercantile Bank $100 banknote as I have seen them go for a pretty penny. They're tough to get in high grades & very popular. That's the first Chartered $5 I've seen (besides in a catalogue) & it is in great shape. Quality over Quantity!
-Congrats!

The Chartered Bank $5 is lovely. Something about the font gives it an early 1900's look - like a latin or American banknote.
It is in great condition.
Like the Mercantile Bank note - great colours.

long thread this month. I have more scandinavian coins -
