It's the 1st February over here and I just made my first purchase for the month. It's an upgrade of my George V florin. I would like a better portrait but it's probably VF/VF+ reverse and F+ obverse. The Aussie George V coins often seem to be this way. The reverse looks really good and the obverse is a bit rough.

I received these yesterday:
T. V. in a serrated square seems not to be listed in Brunk, but he has a "W and T V in a serrated square", which makes it unclear whether only the T V or the W as well are in a serrated square. The
L. VANDSANDS c/m is attested by Brunk only on two silver half dollars of the 1850s. There is now this British copper ½d.
As I said on the French website, one of the dealers gave me three tokens as a bonus. The most interesting one is this:
I don't normally collect varieties but, hey, if you're giving them to me... This one is the rarer of the two varieties of the 1850 Bank of Upper Canada one penny, with a dot between the tips of the cornucopiae. It is in fact worth about twice as much as the no-dot variety, but my Charlton token catalogue is a little old... If anyone can tell me something of the value in a recent edition, it would be appreciated.¹
_______________________
¹ I don't expect it's worth very much given it's in well-circulated condition.

Only three additions so far ...
'1797 Halfpenny Token Birmingham - Dr Sam Johnson'
Not seen one before.
'Talbort Fyan 1794 halfpenny token * error edge'
'The edge should read 'Halfpenny payable at Dublin Cork or Derry' but the
words Derry Halfpenny run into one another.'
'Rare 19th Century Token / C.Detouche. Paris. Brass Coin'
I got it as it has a hive and bees design - one of my favourites.

Thanks! The UC one is an upgrade which I got in an eBay auction at a good price.
I also recently won and received this amazing 2-volume book:
Believe it or not, at CDN $140 (+$20 sh/h) it's a bargain. It's currently on Abebooks for $450. The run was of only 150 copies, this one being #32 and signed by the author, a well know collector of countermarks. The second volume contains only the plates (33 of them) on Kodak photo paper (!). The coins are at a 1:1 scale, and therefore small, but of high definition, so that you can look at them with a magnifier. There are a few that are now in my collection, so I have an excellent pedigree for those coins/tokens with this book.
I didn't know anything about this book until I saw it by chance on eBay. It turns out to be indispensable for some of the research I'm currently doing.

Purchased several coins this month. Too many to post here, but you can always browse through my gallery at
FORVM Ancient Coins. Here is one of my gems that I acquired. Prompted me to change my profile pic:
Thracian Kingdom: Lysimachos (306-281 BCE) AR Tetradrachm, Abydos? (BMFA 839; Müller 342)
Obv: Diademed head of deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon
Rev: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΛYΣIMAΧOY; Athena seated left, holding Nike and resting elbow on shield at side, spear leaning against far shoulder; in inner left field, eagle standing right

Y'know what's funy? If I'd been offered the same coin, even at a knockdown price I'd probably have passed because it's
soooo good. I'll bet that I'm not the only one who would just assume "Shanghai Mint". Grubbing around in the trough of low end numismatics doesn't give you much exposure to gems like this.
Oh, I'm sure it's kosher, our friend here doesn't seem like the kinda guy who'd be fooled by a cheap knock off. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while ignorance may be blissful, the ignorant will surely miss out on some great coins. A fat wallet is no substitute for knowledge.
Well done QG, it might only be February but I reckon that's the pick of 2017.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

Not much in terms of new coins for me this month. I was down with a nasty cold virus for almost a week (still recovering), didn't even have the energy to check E-Bay, let alone get out of the house and go anywhere. The only additions is 3 new 2017 1oz/30g silver bullion coins, Australian Koala and Kookaburra, and Chinese Panda, which I ordered from MCM.
Picked up a few rolls of quarters when I stopped by the bank the other day, mostly looking for any new releases and missing mint marks from older releases. Found:
- Everglades 2014P
- Cumberland Gap 2016P
- Theodore Roosevelt 2016D
- Ford Moultrie 2016D

Beautiful token! It looks like yours was made nearer to the end of the dies life than mine. Probably explains the rarity a bit if only one set of dies were made. Could you possibly add some better photos of this coin when you get a chance? I have some photos in the error thread that I would like to compare with yours. Thanks for the tip on the digital microscope for photos, never saw these cracks in 10 plus years of ownership.

The grading looks a bit dodgy, unless it's just the picture, there does seem to be a little wear, so it shouldn't be an MS grade

Totally agree, maybe a better picture can reveal more details.

Quote: "cncote10"Picked up this coin today... very excited!
The grading looks a bit dodgy, unless it's just the picture, there does seem to be a little wear, so it shouldn't be an MS grade
I don't disagree. I didn't buy it for the case I already removed it. Got it at my local coin shop. It's more the dark toning that makes appear a non ms grade. I actually don't see wear on close examination but 64 seems high to me. I'm no fan of grading services I just wanted a nice example which this is.

So many nice coins above ↑↑↑ ...
Here are a few arrivals:
So, a 1936 Canadian dollar and three books. The first two books (actually one work in two volumes) are a collection of French documents (with English translation on opposite page) relevant to coinage during the French regime in Canada. The second book, by Christopher Faulkner, is about the Upper Canada colonial copper tokens and was published by Spink in 2016.

Beside this 1804 "dollar,
I received today two
J. HOOD countermarked pieces:
The previous holders were kept, which is great. The two pieces are also catalogued and photographed in Baker's book (posted above, Feb. 10th). Since they belonged to well known collectors, the pedigree is exceptional. J. HOOD was most probably Canadian (as Rulau believed, though Brunk did not assign him to any country); American businessmen rarely countermarked Canadian coins and we know of at least three Canadian large cents countermarked by him.

Here is a countermarked Bank of Upper Canada penny token, 1850:
Other such pieces have the name Josh Rouleau on two lines. This one shows half of the "h" of Josh. The name is more probably "Joseph" than "Joshua".
