<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1480212, member: 25270&quot;]It&#039;s hard for me to get to my local coin store because they close at 6 p.m. and I get home about 6:30, but today we got off from work at noon so I made a trip. I&#039;m sure glad I did. They had a book of world coins they had bought off of someone and they gave it to me to look at when I asked to see world coins. It was a mix of common coins along with some that I&#039;ve never seen before. I didn&#039;t know what they were going to charge me so at first I was kind of hesitant with what I picked out, but when they just charged me 50 cents apiece, I went back for seconds. I&#039;m still wishing I had bought others. I like coins from obscure places and places that no longer exist, which is why most of these stick out to me. The guys at this store don&#039;t collect world coins so I got some great deals. Among the coins I got:</p><p><br /></p><p>1903 Guadaloupe 50 centimes - Valued at $35 in VF</p><p>1926 Greenland 25 and 50 ore - $7 and $9.50 in VF. These always sell for high prices on eBay and I always wanted one because it has a polar bear on it, and you may have guessed I like polar bears.</p><p>1939 Albania 1 lek Italian occupation - $2.50 in VF. I like wartime issues like this.</p><p>1931 Estonia 10 senti - $2 in F</p><p>1906-11 Hyderabad 1/2 anna - date uncertain, not worth a lot but unusual. </p><p>1941 Lebanon 2 1/2 piastres emergency coinage - $1.50</p><p>1913 Montenegro 2 pare - $4.</p><p>1937 Mongolia 2 mongo - $3.50</p><p>1935 San Marino 10 centesimi - $1.50</p><p>1937 Sarawak 1 cent - $1.50</p><p>1937 Euzkadi (Spain) 1 and 2 pesetas - $2.50 and $3.</p><p>1918 Tibet 5 skar - $2.</p><p>1956 Togo 5 francs - $6.</p><p>1913 Malta (Britain) 1/3 farthing - $2.50</p><p>1891 German East Africa 1 pesa - $1.</p><p>1866 Papal States 1 lira - $4.</p><p>1891 British North Borneo 1/2 cent - $6.</p><p>1897 S. Africa 1 shilling - $4.</p><p>1898 E. Africa Protectorate 1 pice - $4.</p><p>1804 Sumatra 1 keping - I haven&#039;t found this in Krause yet.</p><p>1821 St. Helena half penny - $10.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just some of the coins I got. I&#039;m excited about getting such unusual coins as much as I am about the deal, but without the deal I never could have gotten the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
