[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 7775061, member: 74571"][ATTACH=full]1333594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1333595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1333596[/ATTACH] I recently purchased an auction lot of albums from Norway. The majority of the albums were in fairly good shape, although they smelled a bit musty. However, there were several pages of soft vinyl holders filled with iron coins that are severely rusted and corroded. These are mostly WW II issues under the German occupation, but also some WW I issues. There is the possibility of finding overdates and varieties, as well as less-common dates among these 1, 2 and 5 ore coins.
