<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 420049, member: 15116&quot;]I&#039;m assuming we can discuss foreign coins on this &quot;World and Ancient&quot; forum.</p><p>&nbsp; Today I had sooooo much fun! Visited 2 coins shops with my wife along. We bought much stuff! BUT,as we were leaving the shop, I noticed a guy tunneling through 3olbs of foreign coins, like a mole! It got me interested.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The owner quoted $8 per pound. I said,give me a pound, but he said, no,you need to pick them out. So my wife sat on a couch and read while I went through the coins. It seemed 20 minutes (any idea how many danged coins it takes to make a pound! Quite a few!), but my wife told me I had looked for 2 1/2 hours!. She must have been uncomfortable of the wait, cause I was sure incomfotuable for the first five miles, when we got in the car!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would like to know how you guys do that trick &quot;My Album&quot;, where a member can click on that and see your coins, because I sure want you to see some of the treasures I found!</p><p>&nbsp;Coins from all over the globe, and when I think about how many hands they&#039;ve been through, and how many miles they have travelled to reach mine...by Oxcart, on foot, through jungles, over oceans...well it just gets you to thinking what a little tiny piece of this big old globe you are!</p><p>&nbsp; Not to mention the spectacular artwork on these coins.</p><p>&nbsp;I told Elsie I thought the 1946 Cuban coin was my favorite and probably the most valuable as it is PreCastro Cuba. BUT, as always my bride trumpt me. She came in with a Half Dollar sized coin the color of the old US Pennies (I call them Brownies) and it said Republique Francaise, and had whom I believe to be Joan of Arc on the obverse, and a woman and child in a woodland scene on the reverse, and dated 1916 with 10c stamped. This coin has no scratches an no discerible wear! If you can Identify it, I would appreciate.</p><p>&nbsp;Thanks,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
