A range of British copper & bronze Pennies just arrived, the 1825 is the poorest, the 1950 & 1951 are quite scarce dates.
I have a bucket full of mixed coins to pick up tomorrow from a contact out in the sticks, sounds promising on the phone.

 

*sweet*

=> Dave, that's a gorgeous handful of ol' pennies!! (congrats)

 

Thankyou

 

Ummm, maybe it's because I'm a Canadian and good ol' Queen Vickie was our first coin-Monarch, but for whatever reason

=> man, I absolutely love the young-Vickie coins!! (they're total winners!!)

Congrats to both, Dave & jj00, for posting a few out-standing young-Vickies over the past two days!! (bravo, gentlemen ... bravo)

 

Amazing coppers, Dave.

 

I got lucky today buying a hoard from my contact in the sticks, an hours drive away.
21 kilos (just over 46 pounds) of mixed world coinage dating from 1760 to present day
I paid £40 and I have already recovered £20 in spendable and exchangeable money.
There is a good £50 in scrap copper, probably £10 in brass and £50 in scrap silver.
Some nice uncirculated coins half of which I will keep in my collection.
I `ve not even got started on the banknotes







Here`s a scan of just a few tasty morsels, Swiss silver, Palestinian, Dutch, German ,Greek. a pleasing day.

 

Impressive haul! Its always fun going through piles of world coins. Dont forget to take the time to check for errors or possible rare dates.

 

that will be a blast sorting through that pile!

 

The last 9 hours has been just that, I took a break for beer and a dog walk

 

The worst is when your eyes start to cross

 

Thankfully I`ve been blessed with good eyes,

 

I'm sitting on 50KG bags and you got the mother load.

 

Nice range of British pennies. Old King George III looks mighty good back in 1807!

 

This is a eye opener!!! 4 Sure
Dave D Please post how many 1961 Swiss 1Frank coins you find.
On 1 of my 3 tour in Germany I picked up a 40 coin roll 1961 1F dealer claimed that the mintage was a very low.

 

I checked, no 1961.

 

Wow Herds my translation buddy got one right it sounds like.
Thank You!

 

Just got these in today from a trade with a user on another forum. I'm absolutely enamored of the balboa. Might be my new favorite coin.

 

I agree ,the 31-47 Balboa have always been one of my top favorites.
