I managed to buy over 200 world coins for £4. The highlights are over 6 euros, 5 deutche mark coin, 3 old 10p coins from Jersey and Isle of Man. Best of all, a bunch of east German coins. I guess I'm really addicted to buying coins, but when I get deals like this I just have to buy.

The Ike is the best part, of course, but overall that is a very nice batch!

I'm currently working away from home at the moment in the south of England. During my lunch break I went hunting for coins, I found a market stall and the guy had a bunch of notes and coins. He wanted £25 but I got 142 coins and about 50 bank notes.

The highlights were:
910 Swedish kroner (withdrawn notes)
200 Danish kroner (withdrawn notes)
1958 & 1967 2 Swiss franc coin-silver
1909 1 Swiss franc-silver
1953 1/2 Swiss franc
1933 shilling
20 euros in coins
1983 d mint Kennedy half dollar


Its more than I usually pay but I thought it was a good deal
