I am not eligible to initiate a swap.

More to follow. About 40 occupation currencies (mostly Japanese) about ten rolls of steelies, rusted into blocks of steel. Ten rolls of Buffs, eight of Liberty
nickels, three of SLQ. I wish it were all mine. Will post lots more pictures.

Well, I promised more photos.
Hopefully, this will work.

For beginners: Do NOT wrap coins in foil. Some of these were wrapped...not a good idea.

Latest total is $45,600 in , mostly silver. Sold a lot of common Canadian silver coins, sixteen Canadian mint sets.

Have Mexico to work through, about 15 large pesos from around the turn of the century.

Will sell 500 more rusty silver nickels next weekend at 1.19 each. That will make around 1,600 total silver nickels.

Sending about 500 Buffalo nickels to some outfit in the great lakes region. .10 for no date, .25 for partial readable date, and .50 for full date, I think.

The wheaties are still here.

Lots of Philippines silver from the war years to go through yet. Was hoping to finish around $50k but will be short.

Found a nice New York worlds fair token that I thought was worth a few bucks, but it's .999 fine silver. One full ounce, and worth mid $60 dollar range.

I'll dump about two thousand really rusty steel pennies on a beach that I know about, unless someone can tell me a better use. Metal detector folks will have fun. There is no value - I have to pound the sticks of steelies apart with a hammer, or pry them with screwdrivers. Tell me what you think of that idea.

Bilboeslie - ill take some steel cents! Rusted together is fine - I'm making a set of badly conserved coins - metal fatigue, copper coating peeling and zinc burning. So I'd love to add some of these.

And I'd still like to trade for basically anything from the lot (Ive been looking for some silver and some buffs). You're elegible for trade now (50+ posts I think)

Hmm. I thought I needed hundreds more posts before I could propose a trade. I'll try it. How much is mine? As much as I want. I've picked at piles, swapped stuff, bought a few at good prices. Mostly, I'm trying to slim down. Watch for me on the trades category.

Aww, I was right. I can respond to someone elses trade request, but I can't initiate one. Have to have 250 posts to initiate a trade.

Bilboleslie - you can PM me. We can trade from there - or, you can turn on your PM in your account settings in the 'My CCF' bit.

Some 1800's Russia
some 1800's Norway
four Canada type sets from the 1960's
two Mexico mint sets from the 1960's
Philippines silver from the '40's
Italy (silver)
a few Canada early 1970's proof dollars.
o about 450 Buffalo nickels, which will go to a shop in Michigan or some place back there.
o about 100 medallions, tokens, etc.
o a stack of Japanese occupation currency, mostly from the Philippines

o 17.75 face in common date face Canada small cents from 1937 to date
o two dozen 1932 S Washington quarters, none beter than fine

When you are ready to tackle the Barber dimes, quarters and halves I would be happy to assist you.
I suspect that they would be in the same shape as my father's Barbers (dad born 1916) but one never knows.
Dad DID have all three 1921 Halves! And he NEVER bought a coin!
