oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 12:35 pm That's about 2 pence per coin-essentially wholesale prices. You may have more than 65 pounds worth of silver there. Good deal. I wish that I had been there. Report this Post to the Staff

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 258 Posts	Posted 08/14/2020 12:17 pm Thanks Finn235 and jbuck. I wasn't sure if this was a good deal but I thought it's a interesting mix of coins and for £6 it's seem a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 258 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 3:10 pm It's been a long time since I've added to this thread but I have been selling off all the modern coinage and notes that I brought previously. I reinvested some of the proceeds in the coins below. I think the 1917 2 francs seems like a copy but the other 3 coins seem legit. I really like the 1953 1/4 balboa. I only paid about £7 (about $8.50). Report this Post to the Staff

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 258 Posts	Posted 12/17/2022 2:26 pm I've just come back from a local market today, saw a stall that was selling various coins (most British modern commemoratives). I noticed a bag of foreign coins, which was £5. I could see some Swiss francs coins in the bag, I took a gamble and brought it. I came home and found 2 Mexico 10 pesos coins (1992 & 1993) in the bag. Apparently the Mexico coins may contain silver. Report this Post to the Staff
