Republica De Colombia 1974 20 Centavos!

Another one and only coin, just from a different country and in far worse condition. There are some varieties which are mentioned here and here. I'm pretty sure it's a large date but since I have nothing to compare it to besides a small picture, I'm not too sure. In this state it's worth $0.10-$0.20 depending on what exactly it is. Not too big of a difference in price, though. Plus I probably got it for less than it's worth so I'm not too worried.

Republica Del Ecuador 1971 20 Centavos!

Odd how I have more Ecuadorian stamps than I do coins. This is my one and only Ecuadorian coin and while it is small and relatively insignificant it is pretty special to me. But that is a story for a different day and probably even a different blog. It features many over-used designs such as flags, axes, spears, a fasces, an eagle, and a wreath. It also has mountains or hills which are less used but still seen. It is in pretty nice condition for being 42 years old although the reverse is a little worn. Not too many scratches or dents and for that it is worth around $0.20.

1340 (1961) Afghanistan 2 Afghanis!

So, if you pay attention to dates like me you'll notice that this is my third day in a row posting. Why? Because I'm trying to get as many old pictures off of my computer as possible so I can put new pictures on it! I'll have a trivia post tomorrow and then I'll put a post up on Wednesday like usual.

Back on track! This Afghan $2.00 coin would actually be kind of interesting if it were a different variety. It is KM#954.1 in Afghan coins which means it's the coin alignment variety and worth around $0.15. If it were KM#954.2, the medal alignment variety, evidence would suggest it was the first Republican issue struck in 1973. That would make it worth around $0.35 in this condition. Not like I'm heart-broken or anything, but it would be a cool coin to have.
