    Good selection at the 10 cent bin this week again, so I'll post a few pics for those who enjoy this kind of stuff. First--overview:
    (Edit--title should have read "picks" not "pics". I wasn't going to post pics of all 47...)

    Weimar Germany 1920 50 Pfennig, 1923 200 Mark
    Comparable-sized aluminum coins, the right has 400x the face value of the right after just 3 years. The hyperinflation was just getting started...

    Two from Baden:
    Grand Duchy of Baden 1 Kreuzer 1871 Frederick I
    Grand Duchy of Baden 1 Kreuzer 1871 Frederick I.jpg

    Margraviate of Baden 1/2 Kreuzer 1804 Karl I Friedrich
    Probably my favorite find of the day. Mintages on these German States minors are not huge, about 100K for this one. It's a new type for me. I estimate it's worth $10-20 US even in this condition. Very happy to get it for 10 cents.

    Prussia 1 Pfennig 1810 Friedrich Wilhelm III
    This one didn't photograph well. It's easier to read in hand.
    I love these Napoleonic Era coins.

    Mystery copper or bronze. 21 mm
    I'm guessing 1800s from the hairstyle (short hair, no wig)
    This Baden Leopold I 1 Kreuzer (1831-37) is my closest guess.
    But I feel like the portrait is a little different.
    Numista image below for comparison.

    Last one: Pittsburgh Transit Token 1922
    This one didn't make it into the group photo at the top for some reason.

    Even with this, there are only 45 in the first photo, if one were keeping count.
    The last one was given as "tribute" to my youngest daughter (6).
    When I bring home a bunch of coins, I usually pick out one with an unusual shape to give to her so she doesn't feel left out.
