There is no particular theme for most of these, just coins I like for one reason or the other. Several  of the coins on this page are among the finest graded, but keep in mind that most European collectors still do not have their collections graded so there are many more to be submitted. This collection is primarily limited to 17th-19th C., although I have a few 20th. C. pieces if they are designs I find particularly attractive.

Argentina 1883 10 C NGC 63 - I like the depiction of liberty on this series so had to get one. Surprisingly tough to find in true mint state, this is a population 3/0 coin.

Austria 1642 (1963 Restrike) Gold Ducat, NGC 67. I don't really collect gold coins but I love some of the restrikes issued by Austria and the Netherlands.

Netherlands 1989 Silver Ducat, NGC PF67 Cam, another of the restrike designs.

Ceylon (British Colonial period) 1893 10 Cents NGC 66. Many of the British colonial coins exhaibit wonderful portraits of the monarchs, Ceylon was no exception. This one the only66 graded in the series, with a single 1943 graded 67.

France 1914 Franc, NGC 67 with very attractive gold and dark blue toning. I love this design of the Sower, used on a number of French denominations. Population 1/0.

Guatemala 1894 1/2 Reale, counterstamped on an 1887 TF Peruvian 1 Sol.

Italy 1913 1 Lira, NGC 65. The early 20th C. Italian pieces have some wonderful classical designs on the reverse. Very hard to resist for people of little will power. Population 10/1.

1915 Italy 2 Lira, NGC 65, population 1/0.

Netherlands-Holland 1759 1/4 Gulden, PCGS 65. A realy lovely obverse design, this  particular piece has a nice but off centered strke and attractive light toning.

Netherlands 1825 32mm Bronze medallion, a commemorative issued for Leiden University. I acquired this piece for it's sparse but appealing obverse design.

Peru 1827 JM (Lima) 8 Reales, NGC 62.

1831 Peru (Cuzco) 8 Reales, NGC AU58.

Peru 1934 1 Sol, raw uncirculated.

Peru 1907 1/2 Dinero, NGC 67, bright white with good  luster. Population 55/3, at least a couple of rolls of these were saved I guess. I bought this one for the attractive obverse design.

Turks and Caicos 1976 20 Crowns, NGC PF65 UCAM, I love the reverse design on this. Proof mintage of 22,000.
