<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3277551, member: 57463&quot;]Not much to show, but I went to the coin store to buy my daughter a world gold, but instead gave her a Sealand 1972 $10 silver (nominally a proof). Sealand is an interesting story and I was happy to learn that they are still around. And, really, common world gold is like cash, you know, nice to get, but, basically thoughtless -- and it&#039;s the thought that counts.</p><p><br /></p><p>But at the same time, I bought for myself:</p><ul> <li>Iceland 2 Aurur 1940 (brass larger than a US quarter)</li> <li>Mozambique (Portugal) 5 escudo 1960 (silver like a US dime, but .620)</li> <li>UK Farthing 1901 last year of Queen Victoria</li> <li>UK Half Farthing 1843 XF -- nice coin, but my mistake: I thought the price was $5, but it was 85 (no dollar sign). And at the full NGC retail I will own this for the rest of my&nbsp; life.</li> </ul><p>And there was some world paper for a different thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
