Coins with birds

[Erik]

There are my coins with birds. I dont know to do nice photos. Those spare coins are not nice but unfortunately I have not better. But I think the 2 rubles from Russia is quite nice coin. Lady Nevol if you like some I could send them to you. If not then I will find some tiny coins for you. .

[Nevol]

Erik, You do not have to send me any coins.  I have over 300 Coins with birds on them and I have lots of tiny coins as well. 
I haven't posted the coins for you yet, but I will do so as soon as I can.

[Erik]

Dear Lady Nevol I understant that I do not have to send coins for you in return but I WOULD LIKE send you something   I dont have better spare coins but I can to send any from my collection. It will be huge honest for me if so great collector as you and others friends from castle will have coins from me in your beautiful collections. I dont have any collectors friends ( only a few here at castle ) and friendship is very important for me.
I belive that I find somethig for you   maybe not with birds but any tiny coins. ( I understand tiny coin as very very small coin. Am I right ? )

PS: over 300 coins with birds   Hats off! Probably I will must mint some own

[Triggersmob]

some more bird coins for Nancy....

[Triggersmob]

A few more...

Show us some of yours Nancy. 

[Kena]

My favorite coin with a bird on it.

[Kena]

There might be others but the only two modern UK coins that I can think of which have birds on them.

2011 WWF 50 pence (mintage for circulation - 3,400,000) and the 2013 non-bullion Britannia (not for circulation silver coin).

[Humpybong]

I have about 50 or 60 coins with birds on them.....nothing like Nevol's collection though.

Better start looking around again!

 

[Nevol]

( I understand tiny coin as very very small coin. Am I right ?

Yes, that's right.

My smallest coin measures just 10mm in diameter, 1975 2.5 Centesimos (known as the  Panama Pill),
but mine is a reproduction (1975 - 1984) of the original from 1904, which was a one year only coin.

It also fits in my Bird Coin collection. 

[Pocketcoins]

10mm  That is small. Got me to wondering just what is the smallest coin I have. I know I have a Liberty Head gold dollar that is only 13mm. I will have to look at my world coins and see if I can come up with anything smaller.

[Triggersmob]

My smallest is the Panama Pill too.
Here is a photo of my coin next to a Dime for comparison.

[Nevol]

All my other small coins are under 17mm.  I read about the Panama Pill somewhere so I  bought 2 of them, one for my 'tiny' set and one for my 'bird' set.

[Erik]

There are my smallest coins.

[Erik]

Probably this is my smallest. Lady Nancy do you have these ? If dont have any I will send you immediately.

[Nevol]

Erik,   These are the ones I don't have: Bolivia, Moldova. Netherland Antilles.   I would be very happy to be able to add them to my collection, thank you.  I'll add some coin holders to your package when I send it.

[Erik]

wooooww I am happy when I can send those. Please, send me your address in PM.

[Triggersmob]

Erik, did you receive my e-mail?

[Erik]

No Mr. Steve, I have not email from you yet.

[Triggersmob]

No Mr. Steve, I have not email from you yet.

OK, maybe it went to your junk box.
Anyway, please let me know if your address is still the same.

[Erik]

Yes Mr. Steve, my address is still the same.

[Triggersmob]

Thank you Erik. 

[Erik]

Lady Nancy I have prepare three tiny coins for you but please I need your poastal address. I dont know whether you received my PM.

[Nevol]

Erik, PM sent. 

[Humpybong]

OK....I have started looking at my collection of coins that have birds on them.

Just purchased 10 coins on ebay that I did not have.  If anyone has spare coins that show a bird, please let me know to see if I have it or not.

Currently with Muckeye again for a week then will be travelling with wife in our motorhome in the Australian outback for next 6 weeks. Hope to go over the top of Australia and end up in Westen Australia at some stage.

[Goose]

Western Australia? What's there? I know Perth is there but I hear that there are unsavory people (Steve) living in that area. It would be advisable to rethink your route.

[Humpybong]

It is OK Goose.....I always take some protection with me when I meet Steve (my wife).....

and I have medical insurance as well.

That's the last time I run you all around Perth, when you come to visit. LOL
Just kidding, you are always welcome. Not sure about Queenslanders though.

Has anyone heard from him lately?

[Nevol]

I've got a few projects on the boil at present, and will look for any spare 'bird' coins when I finish the present tasks. I'll let you know when I start.  Good to have another 'birdie' coin collector.  We're few and far between. 

[Humpybong]

Have not heard from him for nearly 2 months now.

Please PM me know the cost of coins and postage to me in Brisbane Australia.

[Kena]

No idea regarding cost the coins and will try to talk Triggersmob in being the middle man so postage will not be an issue.

Have sent you a private message as well.

[Triggersmob]

Very nice, Ralf, but out of my league.

[Humpybong]

I agree......are there any other metals other than gold?

[AnotherKnight]

Yes lovely coins but I'm poorer than Steve and Barry so I'm out 

[Nevol]

Beautiful coins and even more beautiful birds. 

Wish I had a load of spare cash.   

[Redlock]

Very nice, Ralf, but out of my league.

Out of mine too. 

are there any other metals other than gold?

Unfortunately, this series is only available in gold

Did you ever receives a reply from Erik, I didn't.

[Humpybong]

Yes I did.....have sent you an email with his message.

Thanks Barry.
Nice to know he is OK.

[Redlock]

Here's a  new coin that should be interesting to the ''coins with birds community''


http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/lucky-loonie-coin-pack-2016-prod2730031?rcmiid=link|categorypage|Lucky_Loonie_Coin_Pack_2016|Shop-New_Releases_#.V2P7s5DOerU

[Triggersmob]

I'm not a collector of coins with birds, but I really like it anyway.

[Humpybong]

Yes very nice....but at the moment only available to canadians.

[Nevol]

Yes very nice....but at the moment only available to canadians.

 

[Redlock]

Yes very nice....but at the moment only available to canadians.

Yes, the ''5 for 5'' pack shown in the linked page is only available to someone with an address in Canada.
However, some of these packs (or coins thereof) will certainly hit the secondary market. Besides, I think this Loonie will also be available from coin rolls. In the last years, the RCM has usually issued 5 million commemoratvie circulation coins of each commemorative Loonie and Toonie.

[SirStacksALot]

Canada has made a lot of cool coins lately. They have been doing a lot of higher priced Superman coins, but they have this bullion Coin out with the Superman symbol replacing the maple leaf this year. It is only a few bucks above the silver spot price too. Sorry to hijack the thread I know it's not a bird... or a plane.....

[Erik]

Dear friends. I send all kindly greetings and I'm still here  I have any problem login in my IP address as we changed internet provider. I try to find a reason.

[Nevol]

Hello Erik, good to see you back.!

[Triggersmob]

Great to see you back Erik.

[Humpybong]

Glad to see the problem has been resolved and you can get back into the castle.....welcome back Eric

[Dwhiz]

Here's a couple of mine

[Humpybong]

[Erik]

I found small bird in center  And it is really beautiful Peace medal. It is probably the most beautiful medal I've ever seen !!!

[Triggersmob]

The bird is the Quetzal, a very beautiful bird at that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzal

[Nevol]

Guatemalan coins are some of my favourites due to the Quetzal on them.

I have 14 different Guatemalan coins in my 'Bird' collection, but there are heaps more that I don't have.

Mine date between 1911 and 2006.

6 Silver Coins and 3 Gold coins actually have the Quetzal on both sides.

Silver
