Wow you learn something every day! I have several pounds of each country. I have someone from Italy trying to buy all 21 lbs of Italian coins. No wonder.
So France is just a big pile in the closet for awhile.
Thanks for the link.

I don't know from experience, but I would guess that coin dealers from the Euro nations must have stocked up when they knew that the Euro conversion was coming. There may well be price appreciation, but I would not expect them to skyrocket.

Well, not really. I read that during the last day of the Fr coins exchange, there was a line of about 200 people with massive bags (including someone who won a lottery full of coins) trying to exchange them. Basically long story short the bank couldn't handle that many people so for all the people in line, the bank gave them a certificate to allow them to exchange a few days after the deadline. Quote:

The bad thing is that unlike other banks, the Banca doesn't allow you to mail them banknotes and have them mail the countervalue back in Euros. By the way, how many lire do you have?  |

I buy very little on ebay. I do have a ebay store though. Looking back at this post I think I got a little zealous. |

Guess that any coin which says "Türkiye" instead of "Italia" is from Turkey and not Italy.  Also note that these old Turkish Lira coins were taken out of circulation at the end of 2005. Whether they can still be redeemed I don't know; with old notes I would say yes, but the old coins ... Christian |

Hey warjag, I like some of those group lots from Bermuda, Bahamas, and the East Caribbean States. Do you have a discount on shipping if I get multiple lots?

Yes the East Carib is really nice for collectors. It was all the ones in that region I had.

Got those auction lots and have only very briefly looked. I got an entire date set of 2c coins from the British East Caribbean States and that is the only denomination and country I've looked at. A completed set right off the bat. Can't wait to get the time for the rest of my purchases.
