Went through 6 bags of lightly picked-over world coins to get these 104 for $10 US. Not a huge variety, but some interesting (to me) items. I couldn't remember which Canada cents dates from the 1920s were better, so I just picked up all the George V ones I could find. Turns out the 1924 was best one I found. Overview Canada large cents 1918, 1919 and 1945 steel 5 cent Canada Cent 1920, 1921, 1924 1922 to 1926 have lower mintages (1-2 million) and are worth a bit more than more common dates. The 1924 is in passable shape and is probably worth a few dollars. Will try to take more photos when the light is better another day.
Nice. If it's a foreign coin, then it might as well be Canadian. Too bad about those fires though. I'm getting smoked out. Here's my oldest. Thanks for sharing! Nic buy.
Canadian large cents and British large pennies are fun. I was in a dealer's shop yesterday and saw a new Whitman folder for Canadian large cents. I didn't know they made one.
A few more highlights. UK Farthing, Victoria, 1888. Lovely shape for a 10 cent coin. Ireland 1805(?) George III Halfpenny. I think since the harp is high over the date instead of low and dividing it, it should be the 1805. Mexico 1940 1 Centavo. Nice condition except for the scratch on the reverse.
