Hi all, I'm new to world coins but I wanted to get some thoughts (pro or con)of my first couple SILVER WORLD COIN pick ups. 1896 Puerto Rico 5 centavos... 1873 Japan 10 sen, type II 1877-A Uruguay 10 centisimos (anchor facing left) 1891-A Tunsia 50 centimes 1904 Panama 5 centisimos
Nice toned Centesimos. If I ever get another German Shepard I'm gonna name her "CENTESIMOS" - that's just fun to say!!
First off welcome to world coins. I liked the Puerto Rico, Japan, and Tunisia coins. the Panama coins I collect... your last Panama coin has some very strange toning. the Japan coin was my favorite... then Tunisia. are you looking for just silver world coins ? or a particular country ?

I am just interested in world silver. In fact, I joked with the dealer that I probably flipped right past the "real winner" just looking for the silver ones! But thank you! I'm really enjoying this new part of my collection.
I actually picked out 48 different coins, for $100. I'm not sure how to show them without taking pictures of each one. But here's 2 more that I found interesting: 1883 Argentina 20 cent (XF): 1859 British 3 pence (VF):
I am glad you like world coin silver. Peru has some silver beauties you might like. Thailand has some nice silver. the thing I like about your coins is that you have some earlier dated ones.
If you ever have questions about any of your world coins.... ask away and I (we) will be more than happy to help you out.
