Canada 2020 Aquitaine Bull $8/1.5 oz Silver Brilliant Uncirculated -- #BU96266

With a stance as commanding as the bronze bull of Manhattan's Wall Street District, this Aquitaine bull brings its own breed of economic optimism and strength to this bullion coin. The characteristic upswing of a charging bull's horns symbolizes the rising stock prices of a 'bullish' growth investment market. This is in direct contrast to the downward slash of a bear's paw during a 'bear market' where decreasing stock values warrant caution until the trend reverses.

The Blonde Aquitaine has been valued by farmers as long ago as the Middle Ages in the Aquitaine District of southwest France. US and Canadian ranchers began discovering the breed in the early 1970s, and quickly embraced its easygoing and hardy nature, and its ability to forage on rocky or sparse terrain. The Blonde Aquitaine is a moderate-sized breed that delivers excellent returns due to its high growth rate, lean muscling and calving success. It's an enduring and dependable breed that promises to build a momentum of optimism and confidence well into the 21st century!

Two unique features of cutting-edge security, including the precise radial lines on the obverse and reverse, and a micro-engraved maple leaf with year of issue '20', provides enhanced security on this pure silver bullion coin for added peace of mind.
Masterfully crafted by Royal Canadian Mint engravers using a variety of engraving techniques and finishes to bring depth and texture to this stunning image.

INDIAN STATES: Bahawalpur AH 1342 or 1343 (1923-1925) AE Paisa AU/UNC -- #BU54481

Obv.: Toughra (Prince's personal signature) / Rev.: Persian inscription; three branches and four stars above.Approx 16mm wide and 2.5g. KM Y-8.

Bahawalpur is situated in the area that is known as the 'Crossroads of Asia', which was hotly contested by ancient conquerors. At one time, it was a part of Afghanistan. In the 19th and 20th Centuries it became an Indian Princely State. It remained as such until 1947 when the new nation of Pakistan was formed. Bahawalpur became the main princely state to be ceded to Pakistan. This unusual coin from a location that few American collectors have ever heard of features one of the last uses of the ornate 'Toughra' style royal signature, developed during the Ottoman Empire.

Krause lists XF examples at $15, with no values cited for UNC. We are fortunate to be able to offer select AU/UNC examples of this intriguing piece missing from many world coin collections.

MEXICO Revolutionary Durango 1914 Aluminum 1 Centavo UNC -- #BU52384

MEXICO. Mexican Revolution. Durango State. 1914. Aluminum 1 Centavo. 21mm. REPUBLICA MEXICANA, eagle on cactus devouring serpent; floral sprays below / ESTADO DE DURANGO, 1 CENTAVO. G-B 113; Wood 45; Utberg DUR-23; KM 628. BU.

During the Mexican revolution, almost 20 different states and municipalities struck their own coinage- much of it in low numbers. Durango state produced a famoustly crude series of coins, but in 1914 decided to upgrade to state of the art minting standards. This issue was contracted out to a Denver firm, and because the Revolution was coming to a close, a number of examples survived in mint state. Certified MS examples have sold for well over $50 each. Because of a fortunate purchase of a small group, we can offer these coins significantly cheaper.

Lot of 500 Unsearched Wheat Cents -- #BU55215

These unsearched lots will mostly contain coins from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. However, we know that coins from the 1910s and 1920s have been found in these lots as well as the occasional 1909.

Grades appear to range from AG through UNC. Because we do not search these lots, everything goes into these lots as we bought it. Therefore some coins will have some discoloration, corrosion, scratches or other problems.You might find Indian Head Cents or the occasional foreign coin too.

We do try to pull out the Memorial reverse Lincoln cents if we see them, but some slip through. Because of this, we will include a small bag of extra coins just in case we missed a few.

Ancient Judaean Widow's Mite and Crucifixion Period Roman Nail in Display Frame -- #BU77984

Attractive matte black floating frame which contains one 'Widow's Mite' coin and one iron nail made during the first century A.D. under the Roman Empire.

The 'Widow's Mite' is a small bronze coin from ancient Judaea which was minted during the Hasmonean Dynasty of 140-37 BCE. It is mentioned in the Bible in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4:

'He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, 'Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.'

The nail comes from the Roman fortress at Inchtuthil, which was the northernmost Roman fortress in England/Scotland. It was likely commissioned in about 82 A.D. by Gnaeus Julius Agricola in his fight against the Caledonian tribes. When it was excavated in the 1950s by Sir Ian Richmond, a large pit was found in the summer of 1960 containing 875,400 complete iron nails ranging from 2-16 inches and weighing 7 tons (Inchuthil Nails by Roddy Fraser) and other iron objects, inc cartwheel rims weighing a combined total of ten tonnes. The pit was elaborately concealed, and the nails and ironwork were almost certainly buried by the troops to prevent their use in weaponsmithing by the local tribes when they dismantled the fortress before they finally left. Many of the nails were sent to museums as a gift and the rest of the hoard was sold to the public and other interested organisations with an offer of 5 shillings for an 8 to 10 inch nail and 25 shillings for a boxed set of 5 nails. Colville's (Iron and Steel refiners) who had been given the task of sorting and storing the nails state quite clearly that all the nails had been 'sorted gifted and sold' within 3 years of their discovery. C1963. (Wikipedia, Inchtuthil. Originally 'The Inchtuthil Nail Hoard'. Roman Scotland. 2008. Retrieved 2014-04-30).

While these nails could not have been used in the crucifixion of Jesus under Pontius Pilate, they are of the same type and manufacture as those that would have been used.

The frame's exterior dimensions measure 4in. X 4in. X 1.5in. and it has a strong but pliable film which secures the nail and coin in place. They can be easily removed and handled and replaced in the frame. The frame will stand nicely on your desk or bookshelf.

Each set comes with a lithograph certificate of authenticity from Harlan J Berk. Additionally, the sleeve for the frame bears an HJB Verified label.

An excellent gift for the holiday season.
