7070 Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 02:19 am I found this at a local antique store (yesterday), along with 2 merc. Dimes, A holed large cent, 2 1918, 1919 Canada Dimes and a few foreign coins $6.00 out the door. I had no idea what it was until I spent 20 min at the online coin reference site (E-Bay). I think is cool looking. Image Insert: Image Insert: I am thinking of starting a holed type set. I have seen quite a few holed coins lately for cheap.

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 05:10 am Mmmmm... I love that Victoria piece. I have the shilling and the sixpence for that year, and am desperately wanting the others to make a set. That's a lucky find indeed! Maybe I should check out some of the antique stores here. ^^; Report this Post to the Staff

atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 2:47 pm Many times antique stores have a box of old coins you can sort through and find some real treasures...if they've made it to the glass cases, then it's too late! Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3344 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 3:32 pm I like the Victoria. Last week I was browsing through a pile of old shillings and picked up an 1820 for $4. Now here's a coin the size of a quarter, yet any bust quarter from that period would sell for 25x more in the same condition. One's silver bullion, the other's highly collectable. So it goes.
