Where ja' keep getting all these goodies from Fox????????

I know the first one was a mistake but I can't edit the post from here becaue I'm at a really stupid computer

Have a Brit from 1696 whilst we're waiting!

Damn..I have a 1692 here but we're only down to '95??

Awww...

Loads of these silver tokens were made around the time of the Napoleonic Wars as there was a shortage of Government silver due to the need to pay troops that were fighting napoleon over on the continent. There were also lots (I think about 70 places) of varietes of silver conders produced 1811-13 which were allegedly all produced by a Henry Morgan. No silver conders were produced for any other years.

VFox - I think the British West Indies coin is a 1/8 Dollar which is listed as worth $7.50 in Fine by Krause. Weirdly cheap to say the mintage was only 142.000! ) .8920 Silver

Sorry it got sold pretty quickly to someone on another forum - I cross-post these with CoinCommunity. There will always be more stuff!

Some nice British Commemoratives I am willing to sell at face value.

There's a five pound coin, a pair of 2 pound coins and an outdated 50 pence 'hands' coin of 1977 commemorating the EEC.

Nice coins Nedal and thanks for sharing..

Aww come on! ... the second coin cheats, there isn't really a cartoon/animation monster there...

I never knew about them!

Love your avatar Doc'

Very nice, I will marry some of them

I have to say Scots' latest female banknote is awesome!!

Very cool notes, I have to say

That Henry II tealby Penny is just a classic!

I had been wondering myself about the melting down, or rather non-melting down of the U.S. currency for a while as I had occasionally read a post by someone mentioning they had found an old coin dating early 20th-C in the change they had been given (?!)

I was slightly taken aback by this as we have a habit of taking in old or outdated coins and melting them down over here in the UK. Looks like people dig into their grandpa's old cash storage now and then and spend the little old coins at the local shop, which ends up being given by the cashier to a certain person who happens to be a collector, or it is otherwise just re-spent until it ends up in the pocket of someone who will cherish it more..

This morning the mailman left me these little beauties!

A gorgeous 1851 Cent

A quite nice 2 Cent piece 1864

And this little coin of Ceylon, 19th Century...

Okay I did get some others but I haven't got time to photograph everything!

Here's another Big Bundle i received Today, Yipee

Oh my God!!!

How much was THAT???????

I'm very nearly jealous....

I have only lost one so fay, and I've been at this hobby for about 5 months, luckily for me it was only a modern-day North Korea coin - 'a one won' I think so not much in value terms.

......but alas it probably is in some landfill somewhere

But look on the bright side - it will probably be found be some elated metal-detectorist in the distant future!

Or maybe that's not good..

I am waiting for my mail at the moment but I'll tell ya' what I got yesterday, I got a nice rare 1816 S. Sett. 1 Cent in UNC I paid £3 for, some Palestinian coins for a bargain price and some 19th-Century British coins with weirdly different grade reverse/obverses which were probably worth about what I paid for them

I might be getting more this morning...

Me too, strange thing is I have never found one in my change or at least I never knew it if I have encountered one. I have found oodles of the others tho..

i wish i had some of those!!

I have the 1/4 rupee he speaks of!!
