swollibman New Member New Zealand 48 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 09:08 am Hello all, I am still a relatively new hobby collector. I have come across a coin lot on an online auction site. I am wondering, I know it is hard to tell, but are these coins junk or could there be something there. I can't identify any but maybe you have better eyes than me. It is about $10 the bidding. The seller says 2kg so even if it is rubbish it's not such a bad deal. But they look old. It is a gamble but that makes it fun for me :) Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

You would learn a lot going through them and I bet have quite a bit of fun. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 09:30 am If you are interested in world coins then it's probably worth it. Not for investment (unlikely to find a treasure in there, but not impossible) but for learning as the previous posters mentioned. It's a mixture of world coins, mostly worn and some damaged - the three 'light' ones (2 bottom right, one in centre)are Japanese 1 Yen coins. One big question though: how much is the shipping? For 2kg it might be far more than the coins themselves. Report this Post to the Staff
