Local Coin Show

Went to a local coin show in Thousand Oaks, CA on Sunday. Even a small coin show is good if you find interesting stuff. I posted this in the Ancient Forum, but I'll repeat here:


Ancient Greece 400-350 BC, protomoney 1.47 g 24 mm

I'm always a sucker for Columbians if they are either cheap or interesting:


The Columbians were $8 and $10 (for the toner) and $4 for the Rupee

Finally, a $1 box:



The Groschen is Uncirc and I had seen a similar coin at a flea market a few weeks ago and the guy had a $30 price on it...and actually wanted it.

The Columbians appear a bit 'buffed', but I've a weakness for them also.........

 

Yeah, and my photography is far from great, I overexposed.

 

Abandon all hope on 'overexposed'.........Best to under expose and correct in post processing.......

 

I was wondering about the 1907 S Philippino dime, don't see any on e-bay.

You did well for $1!

 

Nice to see the groschen.

When I lived in Austria in the 1970's, I thought "groschen", which was 1/100 of a schilling, was a funny name because it means little big one. Apparently though, "gros" and various linguistic variations have been used as the name of small coins for centuries in different times and places.
