<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8025051, member: 25270"]First a little backstory. I've been going to the same coin shop for years and I always dig through their 25 cent world coins bins. Usually they've had huge quantities and I'd spend a few hours going through everything. But in the last year or so it seems every time I go they tell me they don't have much in that bin because people keep coming in and buying it. But what they've been doing instead is letting me look through the unsorted bins of foreign coins they bought but haven't had a chance to go through yet. This has turned out to actually be a lot better as I'm the first person getting a crack at any of this. I've had a lot better buys from this than I ever did from the 25 cent bins. </p><p><br /></p><p>So today the usual happened and they had a lot of unsorted coins to go through. Apparently they had been buying someone's whole collection that he's been selling a little at a time. This meant that they only had certain countries, but what they did have, they had a lot of, and fortunately some of those countries were areas of interest of mine. So long story short, I wanted to show the Palestine coins I bought. These are just the different dates. I also have several doubles that are not pictured here. Palestine is a hard place to find coins from and I can go years without seeing any. Strangely I think I've found some the last three times I've gone coin shopping.
