nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 11/16/2013 4:10 pm I think most British Indian coins are worth buying at melt. And even the most negligible coins (like that tiny .100 fine 10 para coin) have some kind of silver value to them - if the per-unit price is low enough, even those .500 threepences are worth it. Of course, I buy many, many non-silver world coins as well... and I've actually found my best deals when it comes to base-metal (like a West German coin from the 50s in almost flawless condition, catalog value is $65!).

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 11/20/2013 11:23 pm Today's silver! - Isles du Vent (Windward Islands, now a part of French Polynesia), 12 sols, 1731. This beats my George II 1745 LIMA shilling by 14 years! Can you believe it was in the 18/$1 bin?! ASW roughly 0.07 (unsure of purity) - Mexican 2 reales!! This was a really exciting find, especially in the 18/$1 bin. ASW 0.1963 - Belgium, 1 franc, 1910. A badly dipped coin... 12/$1 bin. ASW 0.1342 - Netherlands, 10 cents, probably 1925. 18/$1 bin. ASW 0.0267 Total: 0.431 oz (!) for 25 cents Report this Post to the Staff
Bilboleslie Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 12:59 am Very nicely done. Home run for the day. I've never found anything anywhere near that old (and silver)in a junk bin. Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 10:49 pm 2 French francs, a fairly old type (1887-A). From the $2 bin... ASW is 0.268. Report this Post to the Staff
