The coins dsking posted brings back memories.

I know that I have quite a few put away somewhere, but not sure where. Hopefully I'll come across them one of these days.

I'm mostly Irish, and the visit to "The Olde Sod" a few weeks ago was very memorable. What a beautiful country. The only Irish coins we brought back however, were Euros.

So you have a blood line of irish, thats good,last summer I did buy mostly of my coins in car booth, but I do buy some coin in dublin if some hard to find,

one of the seller in our county taking to other old guys and saying if some one will going to buy them,they are having a laugh.

I did mostly worn and circulated coins he is selling by lot,just in case you know someone in other county this coming summer you can inquire at them a relative or something, but other seller and him they know the rare one ,

other seller in car booth selling coins by piece they know there stuff,especially the higher denomination in pre euro

they selling pearse shilling for 20 euro got 2 both variation,I just bougth one, dont want to go home empty handed lucky I go the upside down side incription,

now they are selling the pearse for dealer for resell if you know some one in other county it is handy, I'm base in only one county, and carbooth is over this winter.

email me if you want in coins pre euro,dont expect good condition you know what stage they are mostly circulated and worn,

I saw the gallery of you and dsking they are beatifull you just clean coins that I will going to send they are not superb.

Josie: I am THRILLED - no I'm ECSTATIC! I couldn't have even imagined that I would receive such a wonderful, wonderful package from you!! I felt a generousity but, this is beyond belief! Thank you SO VERY MUCH! I gave them to my Irish husband for an early birthday present - I just couldn't wait I was so excited!

What can I send you from the States to repay this beautiful, kind hearted generousity? Please, please let me know!

Thanks again with all my heart!
Deb
ps: I'm not sure yet what County my family is from in Ireland...I suspect Northern. My husbands "Mc" and "Murphy" families are from Clare and Cork!

the only coin in that collection that has silver in it is the 1928 1s coin, can you remember how much you paid for that coin?
i just want to compare prices with a local dealer near me, I'm thinking she is starting to rip me and other coin collectors off!
still nice irish collection for an american to have!

There are dealers that are good but you have to know what are the grade Ban,

I am also not good in grading,

If you are planning to buy 1s it is up to you but in comparison for the price on ebay or dealer on my own observation you can get coins cheaper on ebay in terms of price this is only my opinion I not into online purchase.

I more on to face to face so didnt really suppport my comment but there are some dealer I saw on dunloaire named cooke he have a lot of stuff on one of the antique fair there are mostly have dealer in each one.

Not yet into high denomination yet it is quite expensive.

Onced you buy most of your stuff to them somehow they gave you discount,but reallly have to know how to recognised the grade and if it is cleaned that was most of the european coins have.

IM a HE just have a feminine name ban.

i would prefer to buy online though, better selection, have your own time to think about purchasing, instead of being under pressure for the viewing eye of dealer if you get my drift. then again, buying from a dealer..you are not depending on a picture. I'm currently purchasing some old lady lavery notes, I would not buy these online, I would want to see them up close to determine their quality properly.
and your a guy....gotcha!

i know as a coin collector you cherish those irish coins like I would cherish australian coins! but I hope you didnt pay big money for the 2002 50c coin, its easier to get good grades than poor grades of 2002 coins here in ireland!
im gonna make a guess but that £1 coin is 1990? the largest mintage of them was in 1990, the year the coin was introduced. they werent minted every year, 1995 is also common along with 1998. the 1p coin is prob in the 80s or late 70s judging by its condition but I could be wrong.
just curious how much did you pay for them.
1974 of the 1ps are hard to get, iv only 1 of them.

Banjax, The one pound coin was a swap with Djluster and the 1p was also part of a swap, the 2002 50 cent was given to me by a friend. You are correct on the year for the one pound and the 1p is 1980. Thanks for the info.
