This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to go to the coin store and pick up a few little items. These are what I chose on my severely reduced coin-buying budget!

Germany, 1910, 25 pfennigs. This little beauty was hiding in the scratch tray on the big table.

Portugal, 1969, 50 Escudos. Commemorating explorer Vasco deGama. I love the stylized portrait of deGama.

Great Britain, 1930, 1 Dollar. This beauty set me back half of what I spent. I still got a nice deal on her.

St Tome & Principe, 1970, 50 Escudos. Celebrating 500 years of St Tome & Principe. I have two of this coin now, but this one is far nicer than my first example.

Uruguay, 1969, 1000 Pesos. FAO Commemorative.

South Africa (British) 1949, 5 Shillings.
