<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1279897, member: 68&quot;]I&#039;m in the central US (northern Indiana at the tip of Lake Michigan) and see Egyptian coins around.&nbsp; Back in the mid-&#039;70&#039;s I&#039;d poke through dealer junk boxes (misc low value world coins) because there were still a lot of silver coins in them that could be bought eight for a dollar.&nbsp; Silver was going up and it was one of the few ways to get silver cheap.&nbsp; I started noticing that there were some modern coins that were never seen or were seen only in poor condition so I started looking for them in dealer stock.&nbsp; These, too, were very cheap since in those days no one appreciated post-WW II base metal coins.&nbsp; I could go through a great number of coins very rapidly so this was an ideal job for me and allowed me to start some nice collections.&nbsp; Collections would come on the market and many very scarce coins would just go into junk boxes where I&#039;d pick them up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The milleme coins I found in dealer stock and they were very cheap.&nbsp; This was back around 1978.&nbsp; It looked like it might have been a collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most are only AU but a few are nice choice uncs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Krause has always listed the mintage of the 1363-1944 hexagonal 2 Piastres as only &quot;32,000&quot;.&nbsp; This is incorrect is it not?&nbsp; I see these all the time and pick them up because of the low mintage but I&#039;ve got so many I don&#039;t believe the number.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your English is superb.&nbsp; Did you study in college?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
