Not Too Shabby for $4

Picked these out of a 5 for $1 bin at a coin show today. I think my son and I did alright for $4.

Whoa.. I buy any coin from Spain no matter the condition. You have a neat one top left corner.

 

It's an 1878 Alfonso XII. I like big copper. And for 25 cents, the price was right. Not to mention the $13.58 worth of silver coins.

 

How was the show? I actually had Rose text me....asking me if I was coming.
As you know I'm flying out. In a few...

 

My eyes are immediately attracted to the “we are one” coin, largest in the bunch. Nice batch!

 

I spy silver!! Nice pick ups. I love WWII era coinage as well.

 

Nice haul for the price.

 

Mine as well @Devyn5150 - better pics please @furryfrog02

 

Which one? The fugio token?

 

Which one? The fugio token?

 

Idk what it is......but it looks Cool

 

I googled fugio. Is this the type of coin you got? I know it’s not exact but, yeah! Could we see the full coin, reverse and obverse? I like yours from what I can see!

 

You happen to have a silver Netherlands gulden in that pile. Nice finds!

 

A very nice pull of foreign coins I would've bought those any day of the week. Then again most coin dealers simply throw away foreign coins into junk boxes without a second thought often resulting in hauls like this one I made early last year.

 

The silver coins are:
1956 Netherlands Gulden
1966 Sweden 1 Kroner
1917 France 1 Franc
1947 Turkey 1 Lira
1886 Mexico 25 Centavos
1941 Great Britain Florin/2 Shillings

So you pretty much got paid to take them home with you huh @furryfrog02 ?

 

Nice haul! My local show's been getting a bit too competitive for my taste; some guys actually sit there for two hours straight and pick out anything of value, leaving slim pickings for the rest of us.

 

@Tlberg @Devyn5150 Here is the Fugio Token.


As a budding inventor, my son is a big fan of Ben Franklin. When he found out that Franklin designed this coin he of course had to have it.

Since we will never be able to own a real Fugio, this will have to do

 

It took the sting out of the other coin I bought there. I will post that in a few...
