Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7944993, member: 13307"]It's a fun lot, I'll give you that. It's also the kind of lot I usually buy at spot, though, so the 20% premium makes me cringe a bit on your behalf.  The Philippine 20c coins look nicer than normal, which in my experience would bring a premium at auction.  Make sure to check the mint marks for RPM/OMM, as that could really help you out in terms of overall lot value.  I will echo others' remarks about the Russian 15 Kopek and the German 2 Mark, the 1899 shilling might bring a premium at auction (but not much more than 20%) and the 1941 GB Florin is in pretty nice shape too (is it UNC or AU?)  The 1877 2 Mark might also do well...were it not for the huge scrape on the OBV. If it were me the collector looking at this lot, I'd pick out the Canadian 5 cent pieces for my "tiny coin hoard" to keep, and that's about it (unless I found a fun Philippine variety, or maybe the nicer German 2 Mark.) At least there are a few interesting pieces in there for you - and that's fun!  Thank you for sharing![/QUOTE]
