Well I managed to get a British India 1/4 Rupee coin that is worth me keeping, the others so far have been not quite good enough (sold for a profit) or like that last one a total abortion where someone had polished the kings head on a near mint condition coin ruining it AFTER the pictures had been took, they even cleaned off the dirty marks (was returned),  this one is 1944 dated and made from .500 silver.
This was a bargain bid item so I wasn't too worried if it turned out to be not perfect, luckily for me under all the dirt and grime in the photos was a coin with nearly all its lustre remaining.
Not a rare coin mintage wise but very hard to find with lustre still on the obverse side still, there was many variants of this coin made certain years, this version is security edge, thin edge, short edge teeth, high relief head, standard flower and minted in Bombay, 170,504,000 being made by that mint in that year alone.
Looks far better than in the pics.

A very European set of Mexican pesos received over the last few days. Got the 50 from @SVcollector in Greece, the veinte from CDMA (France) on ma-shops.com and the rest from Kurpersky (Germany) on ma-shops. So thanks to @AgD for the link.

Not sure if it’s acceptable to fill in for @Wonger given his unseemly absence, further my lack of knowledge and any semblance of experience in future exchange markets...but gold is going to crash to $385.

Received today from @arshimo2012, JM Garantito (2k mintage!) and a Maple variety C to go with my variety B's (will put some pics up in the Bars Photo thread). Been a great week for Englehards! 
 
 

A nice 1911 Marianne Rooster restrike (I think) - not clear when this was produced (either 1921 or 1950-1960 - likely 50's given it's condition).
I read somewhere that you can only tell the difference between an original strike and a restrike by the colour - someone said that the issue with the edge lettering is specific to dates, rather than restrikes. Anyone know more about this, please let me know (please it is better to do so on the other thread on point here: https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/22623-french-20-franc-1912-restrike/?tab=comments#comment-395770)
