World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

I got this neat German 5 marks yesterday for 10 cents from a dealer's junk bin. Not bad for a pretty coin with .22 oz of silver.

Nice !

 

Beautiful coin.

 

I want to visit your dealer's junk bin. I have one of those and I know it cost me more than 10 cents.

 

I cleaned it out. I go there about four times a year and buy everything good. I got 434 coins this time for 10 cents apiece. Most of them aren't this good though.

Here's the second best coin I got. 1957 Czechoslovakia 10 koruna. I didn't realize this was silver until I looked it up, but it has .19 oz.

 

1904 Mexico 1 Peso. I love this kind of dark "gun-metal" patina - I'm going to start putting together a collection of crowns with it.

 

I picked these up a week and a half ago but haven't had a chance to share as of yet

 

I'm not sure this qualifies as a world coin since the Philippines were a U.S. possession at the time. But both the coin and the 2x2 reflect some interesting history:

 

here one 1901 trade dollar Great Britain

Hope 2016 Is Nice as this one higher silver content since WWII but still a Gemmy Great Brittan coin

 

wow sweet trade dollar coin

 

A Chile 2006 50 pesos over a 1949 1 peso copper,



Argentina 1946 20 centavos off-center

 

those are cool especially the first 1 cool factor.

 

How would something like that 2006 on top of 1949 coin happen? Is that from the mint or did someone do that on their own?

 

looks like it got flipped over.

 

But why would the mint be making a coin on top of a coin that is 57 years older? It was stuck in the machine since the 1940s?

 

opps my bad thanks for pointing out the dates. seems intentional.

 

1814 Brazil 960 Reis, overstruck on 1806(?) Santiago (Chile) 8 Reales




And the Santiago under-mint-mark:

 

1902 3 pence. And no need to say anything about the staples, I'll smash them down before I put the coin away.

The copper 1 peso 1949 (and other years) was kept back by the mint and is still being released to collectors up to today. I also believe they are still being melted also. I have seen the mint bags at some dealers. I personaly have older coins from Chile still in the bags. In some way, some of those 1 peso coins from storage ended up in the feed of the current 50 pesos. The coin is slightly bigger than the 50 pesos and must have jammed the feeder. The question is; how did it get out of the mint??
