25 centimes from Luxembourg

 

obivisoly but what does that mean and i have no ideal where that is

 

Luxembourg is a very small Country (Grand Duchy) near Belgium and The Netherlands in Western Europe.

25 Centimes coin of 1947 is made of Bronze and is pretty common. In that condition books at only a few cents in USD.

 

good answer!

 

BTW - it is a pretty coin find.

 

i dont collect forien so i may try and trade it iv found that the 1947 beligium version wasent put into circulation for some reason found this in the usa btw

 

is any one intrested in this as a trade

 

What would you want? I don't even have any warn bullafos

 

I've got these coins for 7 $ each other.

 

sume type of penny

 

that a look at http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins.html and see if you like something

 

do you have any worn flying eagle sents or any indian head pennys the coin i have has some green marks on it that dont show up in the pictures it realy dosent matter what it is ill pretty much take anything

 

A flying eagle is about 45 dollars. I don't carry Indian Heads. Just not my coin type.

 

oh there like 15 at the silver shop what ever you wont to offer is fine with me

 

So......did you just take it (read that "steal")? Or, did you bring it to the attention of the cashier and pay for it.

 

why would i pay for it thre sulposed to clean out thoes things before they are put on the floor and the lady proly would have given it to me kinda like finding a penny on the ground not stealing

 

how about this?

 

Because it wasn't found on the floor, outside. It was found inside the store and belonged to the store. As you say, had you brought it to their attention, they may have just given it to you. So why not do that?

 

because the cabnit was between 2 doors when you walk in you have to go threw to doors kinda like a glass box i looked at it on thee way out and my broklyn thats fine i dont have any of thoes and need one for my all type collection
