<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 3126828, member: 80148&quot;]I have bought several big lots of world coins in the past year where each coin cost me&nbsp; 12, 16 or 24 cents. It was great fun sorting them out and identifying the more difficult ones, such as those with only Arabic script and numerals. Found a few older silver goodies in those kilos of coins too, and now have a big box of extras to get rid of. I have been giving many of them away to friends, perhaps to kindle the coin collecting spirit in them? Sure, I get a momentary kick out of receiving a coin I paid several hundred dollars for, and still I don&#039;t sit around fondling it any more that I do one of those 16 cent coins. I see my &quot;Foreign Coin&quot; spreadsheet now shows 877 keeper coins, and over 500 in the &quot;to go&quot; section. That doesn&#039;t include British, British Empire, VOC, Dutch Silver, or many other categories of coins which might be called &quot;foreign&quot;, as in non US in my wacky filing system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
