Silver in the coin counter trash can!

Postby Diggin4copper » Thu Feb 06, 2014 5:24 pm

Dropping some coin today and I spotted a coin in the trash can next to the coin counter... I did the old swoop and grab and stuck it in my pocket. The magnet on the counter had a large assortment of foreign coin too. Got outside and looked and saw it was a 1953 Panama coin the size of a quarter.. looked to be silver. I whipped out my cell phone to look it up, and read the coin. It has Ley 0.900 GR .625 on it. First silver from the counter as it usually is just magnetic coinage. Did one more drop and got a bunch of Canadian. 2 Loonies, 3 quarters, a nickle, a 1988 Indian coin with a Hippo, (my first hippo coin) aCayman island 25 cent piece, a Netherland 25 ct, a 2003 500 livres banque du Liban (Libia?) and a 2 cent euro...

Nice score! Would you be willing to part with that Lebanon coin for my daughter's birth year set? :) PM me if you want.
