The acids I use go blood red for silver...breaks my heart too...
Anyway... 14 hours that seems like a lot of work but good job and a good haul...maybe you enjoyed yourself doing that though, and it was probably good practice maybe you learnt a thing or two in the process.
I am too lazy to write up all my collection (mainly because I keep moving things and also because my refernece books are out of date) but I think that nosing through someone else collection could be more fun (simply because you don't know what you will come across... the write up for my collection is in my head really, I have a fair idea about every piece) It would be different if I was getting paid with some nice old coins :)

David. Yeah that was the first time using the acid test and it made me sad. well 14 hours was because of the detail they wanted on the cardboard cards (Dates, dealer number, price, silver amount, and country) and there were alot of random coins that I had to look up because the name of the country was not a readable language (At least I took Japanese and German so I can read some of the chinese and japanese coins) Before I went to college I decided that I wanted to write up my collection so I made up an Excel spreadsheet and that was after 4 years of collecting seriously. that took me two days to catalog and design (I still have not added sections for gold :/) Yeah my books are somewhat out of date Red Book 2012 1700-1800 2003 (Computer pdf) 1800-1900 2007(computer pdf) 1900-2000 2009 2000-20XX 2007 I want to update some books but it is expensive I love nosing through another collection. It is random and alot of fun to learn of something else and I wont know what is in it until I look. I have to write up my girlfriends parents collection for them sometime this year. |

Hi january,
we are both wrong, it's not a Ruble, and it's not a copeck,
It's a Kopeck,(I knew this, sometimes we all make mistakes)
and of the Siberians, the 10 Kopeck is 47mm.
Guess that would be the largest.
Great work at the Mall CoinCollector!
I also enjoy the surprises when cataloging others collections..
Keep up the great work!

Is the acid test a requirement?
There must be a way to tell for sure without hurting the coin.

 5 Reichsmark Potsdam Church without "21 März 1933" The coin in the bottom left of the picture is one that I have in my collection as well. They came with "21 März 1933" across the obverse and some(Rare Finds) without the "21 März 1933". It appears that you have a rare coin that is not only 90% silver but worth about 35 - 40 dollars as well.  http://www.luckylukeonline.com/5kirche.htmlEdited by Freedom

well Freedom that coin started in 1934-1935(i think)
In 1934 half had the date inscription and the other half did not. All 1935 5 Reichsmark coins of that design did not have that date in the obverse.
The 1935A 5 Reichsmark coin I have has a mintage of 23 Million. It is a common coin (At least in my book)
Which is a sad thing. It is still a nice coin to add to my collection.

And they now know what there coins are and there value. It should read; And now they know what their coins are and their value. There refers to a location or place. Their is possessive. They're is the contraction for the use of "they are." There is not a suitable substitute for either their or they're which SO many people do nowadays. Spell check does not catch grammatical errors if those words are spelled correctly. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Thank you Gyrene. Usually I jump on that one but missed it. Back up on the grammar police. ;)
A draped bust is worth some fruit as well dude, no doubt.
