Hi guys , I bought 44 Silver coins the other day for about 80 cents each. some of these coins turned out to be some key dates. For exemple I got a 1893 3 pence from GB also a 1892 south African 6 pence. All these pieces are pretty worn , some also have mounting marks. Here is the Sen. __________________ My collection www.silvercoinworld.com ۩ஜ══════════ஜ۩۞۩ஜ══════════ஜ۩   10-26-2009, 06:09 PM   #2 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,435 My Mood: Meiji 27 (1894), Y#23, 2.6957g .800 silver, .0693g ASW.
