A Israeli 10 Lirot 26g....90%!
A Belgium 1870 5 franc....25g....90%!
A big 1914 Chinese $1.....26.4g.....89%! (fatman)
A cheapo 1964 Mexican un peso....still silver!

A 1920 Australian sixpence!!!

Add over $12 in Canadian change...from George VI cents to Victory nickels to dimes, quarters, loonies, and even a twoonie!

A nice group of old Austalian cents and 1/2 cents. Some copper coins from British India and Jamaica.

I was after the pirate chest and, to tell you the truth, I was a bit ticked off to pay $30 for it and a bunch of coins. I was WRONG!!!

The pirate box still had the price tag of 14.95 on the bottom of it!

You lucked out! Good buy from FeeBay. I have stopped even looking at FeeBAy, but you give me hope there are still good buys to find on it.

Also, I need to get a good book on world coins. You really made out!
