<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26067106, member: 10461&quot;]I bought a great big lot of Brit large pennies in 1992 for 10c a coin, from a US-oriented coin dealer who didn’t want to deal with them.&nbsp; It turns out this lot must have been an old collection/hoard, because there were lots of better dates.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There were quite a few mintmarked pieces (1912-H, multiple 1918 and 1919 -H and -KN pieces).&nbsp; Several 1950 and 1951 in BN and RB UNC.&nbsp; A bunch of full Red BU 1940 coins.&nbsp; Some Young Head Victorias in VF to XF.&nbsp; It was a stellar lot, for ten cents a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That lot was what steered me towards becoming a collector of British and World coins.&nbsp; It was acquired at a time of great financial hardship in my life, so being able to find “treasure” on the cheap like that was invigorating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
