Love those too, looks like the Mayan calendar

 

I like that Ripley, I was just looking at some of those online!

 

I had this neat 1806 Mexican show up this week. 1 Realie/ Mexico City mint.

 

Regarding the 10 centavos, I like those too. I see a lot of the 1936s when I am searching the value bin at the coin shop, but the 39 is a little better date. Krause says $1 in VF. I'm not good at grading so maybe someone else could tell you what yours is.

Animosity, did you buy those on eBay? It seems like you got a pretty good mix. If so, could you tell me what seller you got them from?

 

I got mine from http://pennies.com/worldcoins.htm
I ordered 2 lbs. They also sell on ebay if you want some extra feedback, although it's a little more expensive to buy from them on ebay (link to 1lb buy it now, I think they have a 5lb buy it now as well)http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350278929566&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

 

Thanks for your kind words, Alan.

 

That's a lot of coins. I like the Australian ones with the kangaroo's. They're funny.

 

Here's some more I thought were interesting





5 centavos





This one has a lot of detail, I just liked it















This one is a lot cooler than I thought it was when I first saw it.

 

In the picture of the very worn coins the one at the bottom left is a half penny of George II, probably from the 1730's.
