Hey, Look, a new SPHINX, maybe EGYPT will put her next to theirs, and HONOR the QUEEN of ENGLAND :hatch:

 

Picked up a few small silver coins.

First one up



Sweden 10 Ore



Soviet Union, USSR 20 Kopek

 

lastly



Switzerland 2 Franken

 

Nice !:thumb:!
10 Ore is small! I think that why you can still find MS grade in 1890 + 1940 up their so small they will get in a seam in desk draw or any type area semi protected.

 

Not much of a crowd at the TNA Show today in Fort Worth. Not much selection for my type set either. I was only able to add a few.



This is not really a coin. Not sure what it is. I guess I'll call it a medal. Only cost me $2 but it is so tiny and my wife thinks it's cute. Maybe someone will know what it is. Hard to focus, but the reverse reads Maximillino Emperador and the Obverse reads Imperio Mexicano. The edge is reeded and the "coin" is not magnetic. Not sure what type of metal. Silver?

 

I like that super small coin next to that dime. what is the size millimeter wise ? 6-8mm ? I have the Panama pill 10mm. cool buys.

 

that little coin I see on Ebay in gold plated or gold. $15-19

 

10mm. My research finds that these were privately minted around 1949. They were minted in gold from 8 to 24 karats. Also gold plated in 22k. Some were brass and some appeared to be silver. Mine weighs .53gm. So assuming pure silver(not) it would be worth about, what, .37 melt? Getting ready to retire now.They are a token, not a coin.

 

1871 (Meiji 4) Japan one yen gold

 

wow gorgeous Japanese gold.

 

A couple of my latest. One is a medal but I couldn't resist having it !
Change finds...

 

I love this coin I got too !

 

This looks to be a wedding token.

Here's a page about them: http://www.calgoldcoin.com/mexico.htm

I have this coin. I bought it at a coin show in Las Vegas. great design.
