    A little over three years ago. I bought a good size collection of US silver coins from a friend. I’m just now getting to look at them and price some for my antique shop. I started with the foreign coins and there are some interesting ones there. Here’s a few of them that I found interesting.
    I hope I identified them correctly.

    50 Drachmes
    Ancient Sailing Ship

    All great coins @Collecting Nut . Thank you for sharing. I particularly like the Lion fish although I must confess to being involved in Lion fish culls. Nasty Critters!

    This reminds me of a Native American Dollar from the US.

    I think this is the last one. Onto US silver coins. This is a 1971 but I also have a 1967 one. Singapore with large value above CENTS. The reverse is a Stylized Spotted Seahorse. Pretty neat isn’t it?
