Here's mine
A dinar from the Qutlughkhanid dynasty under Queen Qutlugh Turkan, minted in Kirman dated AH677.
This item originally appeared in Steve Album's auction 27, where it went unsold, but they were kind enough to send the seller an offer on my behalf, and I ended getting it for less than the original starting bid (after calculating buyer's premium)!
Edit: I found that this exact coin sold for $1350, more than two and a half times what I paid for it!

Nice coins so far. The way they wrote "Muhammad" on Roublizer's coin is quite remarkable:
For my part these came in today, all 13 coins won at an eBay auction over the weekend:
♥
♦ ♣
♠
► SHIPS, COLONIES & COMMERCE (possibly a scarce variety; I'll check tonight) attributed to PEI.
► To the right is a "bouquet sou" (early-mi 1830s). What looks like scratches on the reverse is actually caused by a broken die (open link in new tab for full size).
► Nova Scotia and Newfoundland large cents.
► Although the name is far from being common, who J. Mallaly was remains to be determined.
► British ½pennies and a penny for my colonial series.
► I say something about the US large cent here:

My first addition of the month is an upgrade by way of the uber scarce Java 1 Stiver. Notorious for being missing detail due to the poor minting equipment not being able to strike the design onto the large planchets.
Unfortunately for this interested the coin I've upgraded from is not available as it's the even scarcer 1815 date so both will grace my collection.

Ditto for my March addition. NS-24A1
As you can see, ICCS graded as EF (but I'm calling it a VF, best possible grade is AU-50).
Also, my 1st coin removed from a slab

I found a 1940-A 10 Reichspfennig (military coinage) KM# 99 and a 1940 Bohemia & Moravia 20 Haleru KM# 2 in a 7 lb. lot that I recently purchased for $42. The lot contained over 830 coins so I got these for about 5 cents each.

It's hardly the most significant addition to my collection this month, and, IIRC, it's only tied as the most expensive one, but I just couldn't resist posting this coin that I bought for 500 rubles ($8) - because of its shape.
Because, seriously, when was the last time any of you have seen a
five sided coin? (Transnistrian plastic excepted, it's more of a banknote anyway.)
Yemenite states, Kingdom of Yemen, 1/8 riyal 1368 AH (1949 AD).
And yes, I know it definitely doesn't look 20th century. That's a big part of why i bought it

A "fresh, off-the-press" acquisition. Too bad for the large 'X' graffiti on the reverse, otherwise it would have been stellar:

i got my order from the US mint. The coin is stunning imo, but also very sentimental for me as it was 10 years ago that I first went abroad and that too on a cultural exchange programme for 2 months in the south of France sponsored by the lions club !
it was one of those experiences you carry with you for life !

Hello all,
I just received this:
The dealer was selling it for $8 + $2 Sh&H ─ I couldn't believe it. Had I not been there on eBay when he uploaded it, it would have been gone within 10-15 minutes.
This is yet another Devins & Bolton countermark. The host is an imitation of a "spread eagle" token antedated to 1815 but probably struck in the 1830s. While the original spread eagles were struck in Britain, the imitations are attributed to a Boston merchant who emigrated to Montreal (I suppose in the 1820s or 1830s).
