wabnoles Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hey everyone Recently attended a coin show in Thomasville, GA this weekend. I am always a sucker for the bargain bucket coins and hit the jackpot. Keep in mind these coins were 2 for $1 and while not high end valuable coins certainly are coins you hardly ever come across for this cheap: 1763 Hungary Denar 186_ Papal States 1 Soldo (1796-1797) Franc Decime (1796-1797) France 5 Centimes 1861 New Brunswick Cent (2) 1750 Great Britain Half Penny 1816 Great Britain Shilling 1827 Great Britain Half Penny "To Hanover" Brass token 1856 France 10 Centimes 1866/5 Mexico 1/4 Real 1845 Baden Kreuzer 1855 Saxony-Albertine 2 Pfenigge 1845 Belgium 2 Cents 1833 Spain 4 Maravedis 1826 Sardinia 3 Centesimi 1858 Naples Tornese 1812 Austria Kreuzer 1871 Prince Edward Island Cent 1878 Greece 10 Lepta 1837 Canada Half Penny Token "Ships Colonies and Commerce" Canada token 1826 Sardinia 5 Centesimi 1843 Azores 10 Reis 1813 Spain 2 Maravedis 1800 Austria Kreuzer 1884 Switzerland 20 Rappen 1816 Austria Kreuzer 1880 Switzerland 5 Rappen 1782 Salzburg 2 Pfennig 1824 Spain 2 Maravedis 1812 Saxe-Meinigen 1/2 Kreuzer 1897 Straits Settlements Cent 1926 Switzerland 10 Rappen 1921 Australia 1/2 Penny 1861 Mexico 1/4 Real 1817 Nassau 1/4 Kreuzer 1805 Draped Bust US Cent Undated Coronet Head US Cent (2) undated Hungary 3 Kracjar Groschen (circa 1666-1695) If you do the math, you will see that I spent $20 for this. Not a bad haul for a day, eh? I don't think it would be an outrageous figure to say that these are at least $100 worth of coins here. From what I have read, there were only 6,700 denars made in 1763 in Hungary so it is a bit unusual although I see them going in the $10 range online. Also bought a fully graded Luxembourg 250 Franc silver coin from the early 1960s for $20. It is in MS 64 condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Very nice haul. It does appear that you got some terrific bargains -- and you had all that fun. Can't beat it for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Good haul of world - which seems to confirm the trend I've seen for posts re:shows in the Southeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabnoles Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 yeah its kind of strange how undervalued the coins are over here... there's a place in Thomasville that will sell you Canadian silver for under melt and a couple places you could find decent conditioned coins for melt, 5 for $1, 2 for $1, etc. And these are the brick and mortar places, not the shows. I always make a point to make an extra withdrawal from the savings account whenever a show comes to town because I almost always get my money's worth at these shows.
