Graeme Valued Member Australia 105 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 05:22 am Have been doing some odd jobs for an elderly friend and he gave me a tin of old coins as a thank you. Most of it was common 1 and 2 cent pieces and a few very damaged pre-decimal coins. After thanking him and returning home I examined the coins a bit closer and was pleased to find quite a few old foreign coins to add to my collection. 1. 1869 Belguim 1 cent F+ 2. 1876 Germany 10 Pfennig F+ 3. 1877 Mauritius 10 cents F 4. 1876 Straits Settlements 1 cent VG 5. 1879 GB 1 Penny VF 6. 1890 Sweden 1 ore F+ 7. 1891 GB Threepence F 8. 1896 GB Penny VF 9. 1900 GB Farthing VF 10. 1908 GB Halfpenny F 11. 1908 Germany 10 Pfennig VF 12. 1910 Italy 2 cents F 13. 1914 Netherlands East Indies 1 Cent F 14. 1916 GB Penny VF 15. 1918 USA 5 Cents F+ 16. 1935 GB Farthing VF 17. 1935 Russia 20 Kon VF 18. 1937 GB Halfpenny VF 19. 1937 Palestine 1 Mil VF 20. 1938 South Africa Halfpenny VF 21. 1950 France 20 Francs VF 22. 1956 GB 1 Shilling VF+ 23. 1964 Finland 1 Penni VF 24. 1971 Greece 2 Drachma-phoenix VF+ 25. 1980 Germany 50 Pfennig EF 26. 1983 France 10 Centimes EF 27. 1983 GB 1 Pound VF+ 28. 1986 France 5 Centimes EF.

mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 6:33 pm really sounds like a nice mix you have listed. I have a few foreign coins mostly I pick them up in change. I have a russian piece around here some where I looked it up on e-bay and it said it was worth like 10-15 bucks. I also use to have a restaurant and I would get all kinds of items for quarters. I got a euro once, talk about scoring. Quarter=.25 cents euro=$1.45 at the time. Bonus round. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
