mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 258 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 11:30 am It's been a while since I last added to this thread. Today, I visited a local market and came across a stall selling bric-a-brac. For just £10, I picked up a bag of coins and was thrilled to find 16 silver coins inside, including a 1927 Australian florin and a 1945 half crown in excellent condition. Most of the other coins in the bag were pre-Euro coins from mainland Europe, with little monetary value, but I'm delighted to have scored a deal like this after such a long time.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 10:21 pm A very interesting way to build a silver stash, for (sometimes) well below the ASW silver price, with at least some numismatic interest as well. I have about 20 ASW ounces of World silver coins, built up over a very long time. It is a good way of starting an OFEC collection, base exclusively on silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 258 Posts	Posted 02/01/2025 1:27 pm I went to a local market today, and met one of my favourite sellers, he always has a bunch of great stuff for sale. Anyhow he sold me the following collection of coins for £15. There's a bunch of old Ceylon, India, and various other countries, however I also found 20 silver coins.
