<p>[QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 20797, member: 1141"]I went into a local pawn shop, as I usually do during the middle of every month, just to see if I can't find a bargain... The guy has a black box sittin out on the counter, so being nosy I opened it up, and found a lot of mexican, and south americas coinage, the majority of these coins are 20 centavos pieces from the 1940's and 50's, while there are a couple in the 1800's, just various denominations and such, the most recent coin is from 1971 , pretty much 100 of them are pre 1960, all are in very good shape, the total of this lot is 135 coins in all, I paid 8.00 for them all, they obviously had just arrived not too long ago, I'm not even sure the guy looked into the box but maybe 5 seconds when I made him an offer.... I paid under .10 a piece, was this a good deal for these types of coins? I'm not too big on this foreign stuff, but, i'm pretty sure it will be a neat find for my grandkids when they figure out where grandpa hid his safe with all his valuables <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
