<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1424965, member: 24091&quot;]Winning bid of $5 at the local coin club the other night...,,&nbsp; Came in a clear bolt box from the hardware store.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t open it until I got home.&nbsp; For $5 I got the following:&nbsp; A Swiss 5 Francs that spends for about $4.75, a decent VF Penni dated 1904 from Finalnd, which, as it turns out, is a key date worth about $12 according to Krause.&nbsp; But the real kicker were all the silver coins, 6 of them altogether.&nbsp; Including an 1925 Australian Florin, which although worn, still has nearly ten bucks in silver in it.&nbsp; All told, almost an ounce of silver.&nbsp; But wait!&nbsp; I also got Oklahoma tax tokens and even a penny run over on train tracks by a locomotive!&nbsp; PLUS I also got, probably near a pound of copper, which at $3.50 a pound brings the grands total on the lot to nearly fifty bucks!!&nbsp; Now if I can just find someone to give me the $12 for the Finnish coin, how to get to Switzerland to spend the 5 Franc, and how to smelt the copper and silver I will be all set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]173744.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]173745.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]173746.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
