<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1315599, member: 17048"]Hey folks! Just made a trip over to the local shop and got a dozen or so coins. Pretty nice mix...a few silver Ikes, a few old silver Swiss Francs and beautiful Italian coins from the early 1900's. All nice coins. However, my two favorite might be the two Canadian halves I got. The first one is a nice 1945 which is a stunner in hand and has a georgeous blue tone. The second is a 1953. It isn't quite as nice in hand as the blue and brown toning covers up some of the detail. But...when I got home I realized that it was the rare "no-strap" variety...easily a $100 coin in mint state. Not bad for spot, eh? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]148540.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]148541.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]148542.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]148543.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
