<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 26398838, member: 25270&quot;]And now on to some new silver pickups. These are mostly smaller in size but I often find the most value there as people tend to focus on the crown-size coins and overlook the small ones. There&#039;s a bunch of Chinese coins here. I&#039;ve started to buy them whenever I see them as you never know if it&#039;s going to be a $2 or $200 coin until you ID it and check. </p><p><br /></p><p>First is 1814 Italian 10 soldi. Another from the Napoleonic empire, which I am interested in. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684272[/ATTACH] </p><p>1859 Danish West Indies 10 cents. Did you know that Denmark had a North American colony? The Danish West Indies were sold to the United States and became the U.S. Virgin Islands. There aren&#039;t a ton of coins from there and I buy them whenever I see them. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684273[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1863 T Italy 2 lire. I don&#039;t believe I had a 2 lire before. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684274[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Late 1800s Kwang Tung China 5 cents. This one seems to be rare unless I&#039;m missing something. I&#039;m not seeing too many of them as I&#039;m searching.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684275[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1890-1908 Kwang-Tung China 10 cents. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684276[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1905 Korea 20 chon. This seems like one of my best pickups. These go for quite a bit of money and this is in pretty good condition. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684277[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1909 Kwang Tung China 20 cents. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684278[/ATTACH] </p><p>1913 Kwang Tung China 20 cents.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684279[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a silver advertising token for a French military photographer who worked in Morocco, Marcelin Flandrin. I found some of these sold for more than $100, so score!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684280[/ATTACH] </p><p>1929 Kwang Tun 20 cents. I was disappointed to find this seems to be relatively common as I know some of the Chinese silver coins with people&#039;s pictures on them are quite pricey. In any case I didn&#039;t have one before so I&#039;m happy. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684281[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
