    I bought a huge lot of world coins. Close to 8 pounds. I was lucky enough to pull 30 ounces of ASW and lots of great other stuff.
    These three stumped me. Either that or I was just so tired of cataloging, putting in flips, stapling, researching and labeling the other that I had nothing left in me. I will post on my other finds soon.

    Decades ago, when he thought his microphone was off, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles referred to Emperor Haile Selassie (of Ethiopia) as Mr. Highly Unlikely LOL LOL LOL. No trip to the woodshed, however.

    I always wonder how things would have turned out today if 100 years ago, if all the social media technology and everyone having camara phones and voice recorders built into them was used. I bet history would have been atleast somewhat diffrent.

    Greece, Ethiopia, Thailand. Gilroy Roberts did the lion on the Ehtiopian coin. The Thai coin looks like a well worn 1962, but I am not sure of some of the numerals, the image is not sufficient, but the portrait is like the 1962 coins. (If it is a 1962, it is a frozen date for about 20 years). 8 pounds of world coins, and 30 oz. of Ag should be a wonderful adventure examining them all.
