    I bought a BU 1963 Mexican Peso for $2.25. It's still kind of shocking to realize that those 'silver wash' pesos have metal value.

    Great Coins All....

    Very cool stuff, I like the Silver Unit moneyer12, very cool. I hope to add some examples of those to my collection eventually.

    Siberian Man: Nice additions

    GBroke: Thats a fine looking QEII Canada Half Dollar. That nickel roll looks like it is missing part of the roll....

    Great coins everyone, this is my only purchase so far this year is a Silver Denarius that was minted in 74 AD by the Emperor Vespasian. Note the detail of the snake heads on the caduceus on the reverse.... very cool, I have wanted one with this reverse design for a long long time.

    O of won a small lot of junk Canadian cents on eBay. They haven't arrived yet, but am hoping they help complete the circulated set I started to sort the jar of them I have accumulated while searching US cents. gary
