My sincere apologies Siberian Man! I did stretch the rules there with a couple of those coins... I won't let it happen again!

Thank you,

Robert

 

But your coins are nice, Robert!

 

Here is the common side of a 10 cent coin from the euro area. The obverse depends on the issuing country, but since it's the name that counts ...

Thank you very much Siberian Man!

I have 7 of those 10 Cent East Africa Coins, and 9 East Africa 5 Cent Coins.

The interesting part of having these Coins, is that they are from my Dad's Coin Collection. He was in the Merchant Marine in the late 1930's and early 1940's, until his Merchant Ship, the Muncaster Castle, was sunk by the German U-Boat, U-68, in the Indian Ocean on March 30, 1942. After being rescued, he then joined the Royal Navy, and served aboard the HMS Archer, an Aircraft Carrier. After WWII, he was back in the Merchant Marine until 1951.

He would pick up local coins for his collection in the ports his ship would dock in.

If anyone is interested in reading a bit more about the Muncaster Castle, you can see it in this link.

Wow!

 

You amaze me Eugene. Is there any country you don't have at least a few coins from? How about Ireland, I don't recall you ever posting anything from there, but I'm probably wrong. BTW, your Cook Island coin is absolutely beautiful.

Bruce, I have a very big stuff of an Irish coins. As I recall, I made a thread 'bout Irish coins one or two years ago.
Regards.
Eugene.

 

I should post a photo of my favorite Mercury dime, 1916. it has a slight rotation.

 

Sure are a lot of 10 cent pieces.
