Xiplock bag 1 is....

 

Done

 

I am stopping with picture 7006 to make a few notes before I forget them all.

The British coins are all junk. Common and badly worn, even the oldest ones are dogs.

Except the York silver shilling token, which I covet. That's maybe $50

There are one or two better condition French 10 centimes, but despite the age they are not uncommon in reasonable condition, maybe $5 for the best of them,on down to junk box status.

The Victorian young head old head medallion is a Jubilee item, the larger version has a good weight of silver,I suspect you have the smaller one about the same size as a half dollar. Still silver, but not uncommon.



The desirable coin for me in that lot is the York token. I will resume the commentary from the top of page 2.

 

Second part of the lot was really all junk, although the Hungarian 2 filler would be hard to find in that condition if you actually happened to want one. Several imitation guineas made of brass, usually called gaming counters. The Thames tunnel advertising piece has been spoiled by the hole, luckily it was of no great value in the original state.

Not a good bag, but kudos to you for ploughing through it, I am sure it took quite a bit longer to do the pictures than it took to look at them, sorry I could not report more riches, just the one good token.

 

We do have both...

I have 5 more zip lock bags... lol.

I don't think there will be anything equal to the 1803 draped half dime but still interesting to see things as old as these being appreciated.

 

Both what?

Just skip any more worn British coppers, possibly? As an afterthought the 1860 penny in the last lot was better than average, better pick that one out.

 

Honestly that has been so much fun to look through. Thanks for posting.

 

Wow......so very cool Shaner! And very nice that your wife and you received this from her uncle. I hope you're enjoying looking through it all as much as I (we) are! I hungrily await to see any more U.S. coins!
I certainly wish you much success in the collection. And I hope it has sparked an interest in collecting too!
