Hello members..

I always have collected US type coins, especially silver coins. But looking at all wonderful foreign silver coins posted here at CCF, I decided to purchase some foreign silver. I have learned a lot of spotting counterfeits and below are two of my first foreign coin purchases. I'm pretty sure they are authentic

Very nice!


Thank you jbuck. You also have opened my eyes to Ike dollars and I have made many purchases.

For some reason, I always overlooked cool looking Ikes.

I realized I didn't have anything from the Porfiriato period of Mexican history, so I picked up this 1888-MO 1 Centavo:

These are all great, however, I won't be able to post any coins. I don't buy foreign. I stay with what I know about, the US coins!!

I only recently came across this thread for new foreign coin acquisitions, so here goes:

Today was jackpot day in the mail with these additions to my Mexico collection with these mostly Oxaca 5c, 10, and 20c coins. Plus one 10c Atlixtac.

I shall have a pleasant week remounting these and looking up which die types they are.
