Foreign coin finds?
by Mercuryman » Wed Jul 09, 2014 4:12 pm
Has anyone ever scored big on the foreign bin at a LCS? I bought 6 pounds of foreign at $5 a lb and found roughly 25 silver coins. One was a very large $25 Cayman Islands silver wedding anniversary coin, weighing in at over 50 grams at .925 silver. Also found dozens of coins from japan's meiji era the coolest being these large 100 mon oblong holed coins

Those 100 Mon coins are cool......watch out for fakes, though.

Sorting some of the last of my Canadian pennies. 1935 USSR 2 kopek. Strange find for me.

I bought a small lot of Canadian cents last week at FV, one of them turned out to be a Great Britain 1843 half farthing...kinda cool to get one of those for .01 .
