I could not resist getting into medals with this French example.

 

1928 Irish Half Crown

This coin is 75% silver. Mintage was 2,160,000, but a good number of those have been melted down. Really nice eye appeal, but wear in some common spots hold the coin back a little bit. Probably paid too much for it, but I liked the look of it...and when it comes to high grade pre-decimal Irish coinage you can throw the price guide out the window.

 

Niiiiiiiice!

 

This 1938 1 Double was some sort of mail order deal I guess how they sold coins back in the day. Pretty cool though and inside is a little history lesson on how the Nazis occupied this tiny island off the coast of France and how that played out. I learned something there for sure as I didn't even know where Guernesey was until then.

It matches my 1889 8 Double pretty well and these two coins represent the entirety of this countries holdings but a good start I should think!

Just love nice copper in about anything really.....

 

Copper is Cool, no doubt!

Very nice, like it a lot! Variety adds some spice to the hobby like a good street Burrito, but take care you might regret it the next day!

That would be a major score on that purchase if indeed it was at melt. Very, very scarce coin in top condition like this one. Assuming the reverse doesn't have a pinback soldered to it or some other major problem.

I just got one in change...instead of a US cent and thought of your post. Yours is much nicer!
