[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 8058590, member: 102103"][USER=12789]@scottishmoney[/USER]: That's an amazing find, congratulations on catching it! Here are a few more I've sorted through today: Guatemala 5 Pesos 1923. Aluminum-bronze (thus the BR. AL on the reverse). There was also a copper version. Single-year circulating commemorative. This was part of a "provisional coinage" during the shift from reales to decimal pesos [ATTACH=full]1396631[/ATTACH] Mexico 1 Centavo 1880 Ho (Hermosillo) I believe this is the "tall H, oval O" variant. [ATTACH=full]1396632[/ATTACH] Vatican 100 Lira 1955 Pius XII Year 17 When Italy had high inflation, did the Vatican just have to go along with it too? [ATTACH=full]1396634[/ATTACH] Upper Canada 1 Penny Bank Token 1857 I like pre-confederation Canadian tokens, but most US collectors ignore them. Sometimes you can get them very cheaply (though in worn condition). [ATTACH=full]1396635[/ATTACH] Southern Rhodesia 1 Penny 1947 Unusually good shape for a junk bin find. [ATTACH=full]1396636[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
