<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3002413, member: 10461&quot;]Who knows when I&#039;ll get around to this box.&nbsp; There&#039;s several pounds here.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a small album full of somewhat better singles to attribute and price out for eventual resale, first.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a few silver pieces in here (British India and Iran).&nbsp; But not very many.&nbsp; Of course you don&#039;t expect to see much silver in bulk accumulations like this.&nbsp; Note the very slick 1797 British &quot;Cartwheel&quot; penny.&nbsp; Also the &quot;<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-a-circcam-you-ask-look-and-see-and-post-yours.288335/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-a-circcam-you-ask-look-and-see-and-post-yours.288335/">CircCam</a>&quot; 1870-OM Spanish 5-centimos piece with the seated lady on it.&nbsp; (That one might need to go to [USER=85675]@Lunchbox John[/USER].)</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=93417]@Beena David[/USER] - I tried to find you some Italian Victor Emanuel coins- the well-worn 5- and 10-centesimi pieces from the middle- and late-1800s tend to lurk in these lots- but it turns out most of the bigger copper and bronze pieces of that era I saw here when I spilled this out on the counter were <i>French</i> Napoleon III 5- and 10-centime pieces.&nbsp; Mostly low grade, as they are usually encountered.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s plenty of 1800s stuff in here.&nbsp; I&#039;d say this lot has some potential- whenever I get around to it.&nbsp; It is as yet completely unpicked by me and was said to also be totally unpicked by [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER], from whom I acquired most if not all of the source sacks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Going through lots like this used to be one of my favorite things to do.&nbsp; Now I find my attention drawn elsewhere, but it&#039;s still fun to pluck through boxes of stuff like this when I can find the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]743095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]743096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]743097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]743098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]743099[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
