Finland, 1st Free 25 Pennia Unc

Finland was under Russian rule from about 1809 on, and it was not until 1917 that it gained its independence. We have some of the first coins to be issued by Finland as a Free country. These 1917 25 Pennia look just like the coins issued by Russia for Finland, with one little change. If you look on the side with the double-headed eagle you will notice, for the first time, that the Russian crown is no longer evident between the eagles two heads. This removal of the crown celebrated Finland’s freedom and independence. These Silver 25 Pennia coins dated 1917 are in Uncirculated condition and are now 100 years old. A rather nice and historically important coin and in Uncirculated condition.

Finland, (Free of Russian Occupation) 25 Penna Unc

What most people don’t know is that Finland only became a free and independent country in 1917. Before then it was under the control of Russia. Here we present the 25 Penna issued by Finland as a free nation. The difference was, under Russian rule, it had a double-headed eagle with a crown on the coin. The same coin was then issued by a Free Finland without the crown on the double-headed eagle. The coin is struck in silver, it is over 100 years and it's in Extremely Fine or better condition. Finland was only able to gain its freedom because Russia itself was caught in the middle of a revolution. A fantastic high-grade silver coin issued after Finland became an independent nation. Add it to your collection!

1921 Morgan Dollar Extremely Fine_obv

United States of America, 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Extremely Fine

This American Silver Dollar was named after its British engraver, George T. Morgan. The Morgan Dollar was first made in 1878 and last made in 1904. Then in 1921 for some reason, they got the old dies out, made them look a bit more modern, and struck another Morgan Silver Dollar. The last Morgan dollar… Until last year when they issued a 2021 Morgan Dollar and the price skyrocketed. Now they say that they cannot get enough blanks and this year’s issue is canceled! It all sounds a bit crazy, so we looked around and found out we had some of the original the 1921 Silver Morgan Dollar, the one-year type. These are nice large silver coins and are now 101 years old, offered in Extremely fine condition. Don't miss out, get one for your collection.
