Tonight I have been trying to figure out some coins to post, for the next
100 to 150 years, and came up with a question.
I am looking at late 1700 to mid 1800 token .. Bank tokens or civil war tokens.
I am thinking these are private mint type of coins, will these be okay to post?
Edit: if this request makes for a problem, I understand.
I was only thinking about ones that have a date and denomination. Like a 1832 1/2 Penny Nova Scotia.

 I think it's still 1970... this USSR commemorative ruble commemorates 100 years since Vladimir Lenin's birth: the Centennialenin. Apparently, there are people in the Ukraine and Russia who have buckets of these worthless things laying around... but over here they are a hot collectible! |

Martin Luther King was murdered on April 4, 1968. While in the US the mindset wasn't there to issue a commemorative coin in his honor, in Guinée a silver 100 Francs coin was released early in 1969.   It's also a commemorative for 10 years of independence: 1958-1968 on the reverse. The year of issue 1969 is in small characters above the face value (100 Francs CFA). (It was a tough call: I also have a fair silver South African Rand of 1969. However, this small silver coin is not common and it definitely has a historic appeal.) |

All right! Today I bought this 1969 coin, just in time.  New Zealand, $1, 1969 We're past 1971, but Ike is with us in spirit: this copper-nickel monster is 38.8mm across, making it slightly bigger than the Eisenhower dollar and the new largest coin in my collection. This is a Bicentennial commemorative of Captain Cook's voyage to New Zealand, and the edge reads "COMMEMORATING COOK BI-CENTENARY 1769-1969". Very hefty... and now my stack of non-American dollar-sized base-metal coins is 3 coins high! Edited by nalaberong

Thanks. The 1968 Lucky Irish Penny was the first 1968 non-US coin I bought and the start of my Birth Year Set in July 2011. |

10 French francs 1968. This particular design is identical to the 5 Francs coins minted in the 19th century. The obverse shows the Hercules group...  ... while the reverse has the face value and mintage year. Unlike the rather common 5 Francs silver coins of the 1960's, this crown size 10 francs coin was hardly used in circulation. It was minted between 1964 and 1973, initially with large mintage numbers, but less than 1 million/Year from 1971 onwards. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces674.html Edited by Gwyde

1967 commemorative rouble, 50 years after the 1917 October revolution... which actually took place early November. Russia was still using the Julian calendar. Edge lettered: 1917-1967 ⋆ СЛАBА BЕЛИКОМУ ОКТЯ'РЮ ⋆  http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4590.htmlEdited by Gwyde
