Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3870433, member: 25270"]Yeah, that's what I said. I took a half day off of work to visit this coin shop in the area that I only go to about once or twice a year. I like to look through their world coins bin and they usually charge $10 for a pound. The first thing they told me was they'd sold almost all of them and hardly had anything. And they weren't kidding. They had about 20 coins in the bucket along with a big bag of what I first though were reproductions of ancients. But then I looked closer and realized they were crude Moroccan falus coins. I asked if those were included in the usual price and he said yes, so I took the whole bag. I haven't had a chance to research them, but I feel like I can't possibly lose for $13 for 81 coins, even though some are not in good shape. As a bonus, I also found in there this coin which I haven't had a chance to research yet. But I see the date 1690 and James VI, who was king of Scotland. If this is real it seems like it could be worth something. [ATTACH=full]1022682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1022683[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
