Oh no, Barbadoes.

 

I could post so many coins in this thread

 

I remember when I was a kid and started searching penny rolls with my dad, trying to fill up a blue Whitman album. Pocket change in those days (1950s) had a lot of old, worn coins. Steel cents and buffalo nickels were very common, as were walker halves, Mercury dimes and SLQs. That was when you could get a silver dollar at the bank in trade for a paper dollar. I never did find a barber, V nickel or Indian head cent in circulation, thought I am sure they were quite common when my dad was a kid. Things have changed a bit now a days. The crummy zinc cents rot out quickly, and a lot of the clad coins are not much better. At least we don't have aluminum coins (yet).

 

You 'go' guys..........keep 'em coming.

 

Wow. That’s a bunch of nickels. If I had those I’d get a book. To special to put in a junk container

 

My new Keychain piece.

 

Glad for you. Their all keepers to me. If it has a date it’s good enough for me. One less to pray for

 

What happened to that CC dime. Never saw another like that

 

That’s what I’m talking about. Nice. Who cares. It’s a1916D. Nuff said

 

Sweet

 

Thanks, @Cheech9712. It was the last coin in my Dansco and it was all I could afford. I wondered if anyone would notice.

 

GB Straits Settlements 1/2 cent 1873. There is a date on there, not easy to see tho...

 

Un peso cansado.

 

Heavily damaged . . . .

Very nice coin. I've been wanting one like that for a while. My ancestors were married in Ireland in 1723 and came to America in 1749. I almost bought the 1749 once but the price tag was just too much for the quality of the coin.

 

Did someone say 1723 Ireland half penny?

 

GB George III half penny, type I, date worn off, minted 1770-1775.
