One from my current collection: Great Britain, silver shilling of George IV, ca. 1826-1829, off-center I received this coin as a generous freebie from a Hendersonville, NC dealer sometime around 1992-93, when I was collecting British coins. I fell on hard times in 1994 and sold it to @Aethelred. He sold it on eBay sometime around or the millennium. Fast forward several more years, and by sheer chance I stumbled across it again on the Atlas Numismatics site in 2016. I knew right away it was the very same coin I'd sold 22 years earlier, so of course I had to buy it back! (It cost me 5x what I'd sold it for in 1994, but so what.) Shortly before I repurchased it, Atlas had gotten it slabbed by PCGS as XF40. And two previously-owned pieces: Ireland, copper halfpenny of George III, 1782, double-struck (and a contemporary counterfeit) A very cool error coin, if a bit porous (though not as bad as the photo appears). I got this from Lost Dutchman Coins a few years ago, as I recall. Was going to put it in my Eclectic Box collection, but since this was an 18th century counterfeit (which are numerous with the George III Hibernias), it wouldn't slab (and if it had, it probably wouldn't have straight-graded), so I swapped or sold it away. I wouldn't mind finding another multiply-struck King George copper someday - they're out there, even in the regal issues - though I suspect errors like this might have been more common on the counterfeits. I've seen some really cool ones. Germany (Weimar Republic): aluminum-bronze 10-rentenpfennig, 1924-A, off-center A relatively inexpensive pickup from a German dealer on MA-Shops. I ended up swapping or selling it before I ever got it slabbed, but it was a nice BU coin. Errors on German coins seemed to happen quite a bit in the Weimar era.
no camera phone. i'll post Friday but can go deeper with this camera ..just got the camera and wont do full photo. looks like zinc but not mag ????
Two I found in the foreign junk coin basket at my local coin shop, the Pakistan I got on eBay, and the other I got at a local coin show. I don't think I paid more than a buck or two for any of them.
The photos look better on my phone, but there's an "18" on the obverse upside down. One the reverse next to the lion's tail is an upside down '1'.
