Nice lot, I recognize a few right off the bat. Great fun!

 

If it is not a copy the "Liberty and Virtue" 1776 coin in the middle of the first picture has potential. Can you post pictures of both sides along with weight and dimensions?

 

As I flipped it over....COPY...

 

Ah yes - a pity!

 

Colombia - Bolivia - Jordan - Uruguay

 

Came today, culls from the George Anderson collection. A Brit penny, Vietnam Tu Duc and 2 from Nepal.

Gotta love them balboa's/the fingerprints e.t.c are on the plastic not the coin

 

Not that bad for $4 that british farthing looks nice won these finally after an out bid streek for seven item's!!!!

 

Picked up this 1970 British Proof set. Not sure the white card to the left is actually original to the set as it says something about ordering millennium sets for your friends... Talk about tough photography, try shooting a proof coin through the plastic...

 

Piombino is a port city where ferry boats depart for Elba. Very pretty area and unlike most of Tuscany, not totally overrun with tourists. Very cool coin.

 

The 1919 farthing is pretty common, even in that condition. The 1944 silver threepence is much scarcer as it was the last year released for circulation and then only in the colonies. If you got the both for $4 you did very well!
There is a 1945 silver threepence - they made about 150000 but then decided not to issue them and all but a handful were melted down. One came up at auction recently and made more than £50k.

 

I just checked and it seems I do not have a 1945 GB 3 pence...I did find a French coin I have which has a mintage of only 1,100. NGC does not give it much of a high value though. 1945 French Indochina 20 centimes Essai type, aluminum.

 

That's the 1945-C business strike, not an essai. Nominal mintage of 22 million and change, but in practice it appears to be a little bit less common than the Paris coins. Probably worth a couple bucks in that condition.

 

What Paddy said. That 1944 is a great buy for $4.

 

I blame you for this.
