Gorgeous coins, the coin from Palau looks very similar to the coat of arms on the German states coins

The Palau 1999 coin is basically a copy of a Prussian 5 mark coin from 100 years earlier.
With the portrait of Wilhelm II on the other side.

Ahaa, that makes perfect sense then

Why did they do that, was Palau a German colony ?
 
Some buys I made at the recent ANDA show in Brisbane.

A couple of US half dollars.

Nice ZAR piece. I like buying them up when I see them, they have ridiculously tiny mintages and it doesn't make sense that they are as cheap as they are.

Some Proof Like 1965 New Zealand Penny and Half Crown

Glad to see you've identified those coins correctly yourself and haven't taken any notice of what's written on the third world slabs they are in.
 
Special Proof i believe.. they really are proof-like (hehe)

RE: Slabs.. yes i try very hard not to buy coins held captive in large plastic prisons.. indicative of want for these two.

What does SP on the slab stand for ?

SP usually stands for specimen when used in the grading context. In the context of those two NZ coins the SP stands for the complete lack of understanding that NNC has of NZ coins. Those 1965 coins are proof-like as correctly pointed out by 1for1.
