    "I Found these foreign coins in a $2.00 bag at a Jacksonville FL flea market."

    Well as well as the cashable Swiss 2 Francs and the silver content of the Canadian 10c, the 1952 Sixpence is the scarcest date for GVI sixpences and probably worth $10 or more on its own.

    That one came from forum member @Paddy54, and is waiting for me at home, as yet unopened.

    Here are some other pix of it. Of course it will have TrueView images after it goes to PCGS.

    This was a piece that was purchased from a good friend of mine who deals in world coins.
    I must admit yes I sold her ,only because a hoard of great date and mint mark half dimes came into my reach.
    I didn't have to sell her ,but had to to take advantage of the half dimes both capped bust and seated became available.
    So that said should you grow tired ,let me know as she may once again make Maryland her residence.
    My images above do not do justice....as this coin has great color and details.
    Enjoy her....

    I can't get over how great the portrait is. It must be worth a big pile of money for 1 this great a grade ?

    The Henry VI certainly is a lovely coin, but it is surprising how many great examples of the coins of his reign turn up. Here is mine - Rosette-Mascle issue S1859 Calais mint - which also has a great portrait. This one was brought to me in a local market as a metal detectorist find.

    This specimen actullly stood out on a page of other 20 some hammered coins!
    I had to have it....and I did obtain it at a fair price. I truly hate to part...but selling this an a few other items I landed 7 half dimes and 1 buffalo nickel!
    Of which several were holes filled and actually all were in a way as if they didn't actually fill a hole they filled in the die marriage slot of 125 in the 1829-37 capped bust half dimes.
    1 seated ' o ' badly needed.... 4 "S" mints in seated half dimes... all with 280,000 mintage or below the lowest being 100k! And 2 capped bust mid grade and die marriages needed...
    I'm glad Rob got her....wished I had known you would of been interested I would of offered...however the 1st week I had this Rob asked me straight up do I want to sell It? At that time No! But he did ask right after I posted it myself the first time.
    BTW she'll always be welcomed back to Maryland for a few more years should he wish to sell her down the road.

    Not a big pile of money. I can't do big piles of money, since I don't have them. In fact, $500/coin is pretty much my upper ceiling now (and mostly way, way below that 90% of the time).

    I'm into that one for a tad less than 300 bucks, since @Paddy54 cut me some slack on the price. Funny, I had no recollection of ever asking him about the coin, nor did I remember it when he offered it to me last week. I'm glad one of us had a functional memory, 'cause I'm happy to get it. He also had good timing by offering me the coin just when I had some leftover funds from my big selloff.

    @PaddyB- what a superb example! I daresay it's as nice if not better than the one I just got. But the provenance to a well-known hoard was added incentive to me on this one. My John penny also has a hoard provenance.

    @lordmarcovan Your Charles II looks almost off-center
    instead of broadstruck. The 1723 Double Struck piece is
    really neat. With the error being so obvious, I wonder if that
    is circulation wear or was it a pocket piece? I'm confused,
    did you buy the Henry VI directly from Andy Singer or from
    someone else. Dr. Singer is such a knowledgeable dealer
    who shares the knowledge freely. I've bought a few pieces
    from him over the years.
