Sir Sisu Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 A few pieces of corrosion and other green gunk. I cannot bring myself to just tossing them in the garbáge, nor do I have the time to start experiments with these (others will always come along). So if anyone is interested in these pieces (they actually look worse than the pics ) post below. If there are more than one takers, then I will simply draw a winner randomly. I will close this on Wednesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Not that I would like to be among the winners but maybe we could use those in some Ugly Coin Competition, and the winner has to tak---- gets them all. Ah no ... now I know! This is a vision test, and the winner gets some beautiful Finnish coin, right? OK, here we go: CA 1 Cent, NL 1 Cent NO 2 Øre, DE 10 Pfennig Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Perhaps the coins suffered from sauna adverse reactions. Anyway, it is a generous offer that I can't resist! I promise if I will win these, to send you some same sort of "shiny" coins! Pick me up from hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Pick Аня instead, so she can have more coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I found 2 more junkies that I am adding to the bunch. Perhaps the coins suffered from sauna adverse reactions. ... Hmmm...I should go check there before I close this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 A random drawing brought up thedeadpoint as the hazardous waste depository for these coins. I do not have your address, so if you would kindly PM your addy to me I can get these monstrosities into the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 WTG George. I hope they don't set off any of those Bio-hazzrd detectors the mail service uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Woo! Thanks, Sisu, for the contest. I knew the moment I read it that I would win. Its happened before... odd. Can't wait to see what the coins are, I can only ID one of them at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks for the chance, Harri. Way to go Deadpoint!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hey Sisu! My mom told me I got a package from Helsinki in the mail. So it has arrived! I'll be back home in a week to check out how bad these coins really are. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 OK, glad it made it there. There were no Haz-Mat folks accompanying the letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I dunno. I'll see how bad they are tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks again, Harri! I checked them out just a few minutes ago and wow! I got a good deal. First of all, the Estonian coins are great! When else would I have gotten Estonian coins into my collection??? Most importantly though is that the "junkyard" is spectacular. Those coins have more character to them than some of the staple beauties in my collection. The dates go back to 1919! I would have never ever come across any of these dates, or designs, or even COUNTRIES were it not for this "junkyard." I guess what they say is right: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Thanks again! George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Excellent then! I'm glad they made it to a welcoming home. That was what I was hoping for. (Rather than leave the coins dangling, I'll just leave my prepositions dangling... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
