It&#039;s an interesting series with with zinc, and iron coins in WW1 &amp; WW2, massive copper coins in the 1600&#039;s, large square copper coins from the 1600&#039;s, and debased silver coins with the likeness of kings in the 1500&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>1998 Sweden, 50 ore, issued 1992-2009, demonetized 9/30/2010, bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1367869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1367870[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is an old family photo of some coins in the collection.&nbsp; I’ve added some since.&nbsp; Stay tuned.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1367872[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1367873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
