My Sunday Market Finds

It is with great disappointment I have to say that today didn't bring along anything. I arrived late to the market after some family business, but the day started out rainy as well and that probably scared off some sellers. Regardless, can't get something new every week, and now I have more money for next time. See you then

Bouncing back it sure did!

Although today gave terrible weather (Heavy snowfall in APRIL? What is this world?), I did manage to score a smaller selection of coins on today's market.




1 Pfennig, Free city of Danzing 1923 & 1926
1 Cent, US 1945
25 Centimes, Luxembourg 1946
1 Cent, US 1990
1 Dime, US 1965
10 Cents, Netherlands 1904
10 Kopeyek, USSR 1932
50 Lepta, Greece 1966
2 Centesimos, Uruguay 1924 & 1944
1/32 Birr, Ethiopia 1897
10 Groszy, Poland 1961, 1963, 1975
10 Filler, Hungary 1975
20 Tolarjev, Slovenia 2003

All of this for 20 SEK. Every since I sold my Danzig 2 Gulden I've wanted to get some Danzig coins again. Sadly, these are more common and thus less valuable but they still hold some value. Looking forward to next week!

1st of May, the day when people protest against everything political and socialism shouts loudly at everyone.

It also happened to be on a Sunday. And a pretty nice one aswell! It was warm, with temperatures peaking at almost 18°C. Quite the contrast compared to last week. I honestly felt like I was melting with my coat, scarf and gloves on looking though coins in the sun. I guess I'm not ready for summer yet.

Beautiful weather means lots of sellers. I don't think theyre was any avalible room for other sellers at the square today.

Today's batch cost me 32 SEK, with pictures as follows:

That's all for today

I made it to the Barcelona Sunday AM coin market at the placa real - near la rambla. I found out the market was going to be there because of a 6 year old thread in this forum!

I came out with a 1992 liberatad Mexican fractional silver set. 1 1/2 1/4 1/10 and 1/20 ozt silver coins in BU - and it great shape too. Paid 35€ ! It was the best deal there I think. I almost got this 1935p quarter for 11 euro, but it was a weak strike, and I already spent my money. Thanks coin community for showing me the Sunday market!

That's great, Wood!

That Portuguese 200 Escudos is pretty nice! Good Finds!

@dohcollector: Living in Scandinavia myself, I can understand why. There's probably not that many sellers out in bad weather and, in all honesty, bad weather here can be really bad and most people won't spend more than 5 minutes outside if there's no one forcing them to go out with a shotgun or so. :)
Either that or the coins are just deep frozen to the stands and therefore cannot be sold...
