Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else. No conspiracy theories - I just hope it goes back to normal so I can buy some coins.
I don't know what's going on lately, but the last week I think I've been outbid on everything I've bid on on eBay, even when I go to what I think...
I looked most of these coins up. The hippo coin is pretty common so I don't think it's much. It's hard to say if it was in really great condition...
They actually only used the P for like 5-6 years. I don't know the dates offhand but they stopped sometime around 2007. Now they use a symbol...

I don't have any immediate plans to sell it, but I guess I'll leave it alone if that would be considered proper. I do kind of like the info on the...
It really doesn't look like silver to me.
Last but not least 1966 Uganda 2 shillings. I had a few others that I already put away, but this is the majority of the African coins.
1964 Rhodesia 20 cents 1965 Congo 10 francs (I love this one. I actually got two of these). 1965 Malagasy 1 franc
1959 French Somaliland 1 franc 1961 Central Africa 50 francs 1961 Mali 5 francs
