    did you dig the 2nd two out of the ground? the first one is probably XF but i'm not sure of it's value - the coin is a trade coin for the Company, not the country.

    Nope, I haven't dug any of these out although the 2nd one does look like a detector find.
    And the British North Borneo cent is part of standard issue coinage of that British colony and not trade coin according to 20th century Krause catalog; don't know if they were any different in 19th century.

    IMO the grades are:
    Coin1: AU 50
    Coin2: VG 8
    Coin3: F 12

    So how did I fare?

    I would've used the term 'cherrypicked'.:goofer:

    i looked up the Borneo - i didn't think they were in the Krause for some reason. the current Krause has it at $43.00 in XF - $8.00 is not a bad deal for the seller considering the coin is not popular and he'd have to wait for the right buyer to come along and offer him book value.

    might he gotten more, i doubt it.
