<p>[QUOTE="Joe Campbell, post: 8430708, member: 89857"]Found quite a few winners in the world junk bin the other day. My goal is pull out anything old, nice or interesting. I don’t know a ton about world coins so I often don’t know what I found until I get home and do some research. At $12/lb a couple of the winners are:</p><p>1923 Canada 1 cent - key date and nice condition. </p><p>1901-1910 1 cash from Travancore - a princely state in India. This coin is only 0.48g. It’s tiny and probably MS. </p><p>1917-S 1 Centavo Philippines - nothing special here but I really like the series. </p><p>1952 Laos - several denominations but based on a recent thread I grabbed them as BU mid century aluminum coins. </p><p>1955 Romania 25 Bani - Had never seen these before. Grabbed 3, looks like they’re worth a couple bucks apiece. </p><p>Quite a few other better date early and mid century coins.</p><p>2 scruples apothecary weight - have found several 3 scruples but never the 2 scruples before. </p><p>1969 Peru 1/2 Sol - RPD on the last 9</p><p>2013 Brazil 10 Centavos - DDR/DDO, minor. </p><p>1945 Ceylon 5 cents - Lamination. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also need help with a blank planchet in the lot. It’s 16.77g, ~32.8mm and appears to be copper. It also has an upturned rim. No idea here.
