Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 9:37 pm So a man who's a close friend of ours brings a whole box full of coins and says he will sell to me any coin I find in it. I go through the box, find some coins list the prices I would offer and finally I buy the coins and he sells them me for half of the value I wrote on them and as a lot he sold it me $50. He also brought with him some silver 1976 Montreal Olympics coins and I bought one for $35 (melt), he also had $5 for $17 (melt) but I didn't have enough money with me. It turns out the $10 are worth $70 and the $5 are $35, 2 times melt. Next time I'll bring some money and buy the lot. PHOTOS: name, denomination and price I bought it for: ``The Kalamazoo`` 5¢ Token, unknown date:$0.25 The Canadian Copper Coin Catalogue token, unknown date: $5 60TH anniversary of Confederation, medal/token,1927:$3 Joan of Arc token, la Patrie, unknow date: $5 Netherlands 2 ½ cents, 1905: $3 Switzerland, 5 rappen, 1995B : $2 Morocco, 1 dirham, 1960 (.600 silver): $2 French coins: France 50 centimes 1932 ¢0.25 France 1 franc 1938: $0.25 France 1 franc 1941: $0.25 France 1 franc 1942: $0.25 France 50 centimes 1942: $0.25 France 50 centimes 1942: $0.25 France 1 franc 1943, axe: $0.25 France 1 franc 1943, laureate: $0.25 France 2 francs 1944, laureate: $0.25 France 50 centimes 1944, axe: $2 France 2 francs 1944, axe: $2 France 1 franc 1944, axe: $0.25 France 1 franc 1945, laureate: $0.25 France 10 francs 1945: $0.25 France 1 franc 1957 B: $0.25 France 1 franc 1958: $0.25 France 1 franc 1917: $2 France 5 francs 1960: $5 Great-Britain Florin 1938: $3 Great-Britain sixpence 1933: $1 Belgium 10 centimes 1928: $0.25 Austria 10 Groschen 1925: $0.25 Bunch of Netherlands 10 cents for $0.50 each: 1944 1938 1941 1928 1941 Netherlands 25¢ 1941 German Third Reich 50 reichspfennig: 1942 A: $2 (what are these lines on it...die break?) 1935 A: $2 1939 F: $5 1939 E: $5 So...tell me what my best deals were. I'm also gonna ppost pics of an old Argentinian coin, another German and the Olympic coin once I get the camera running. We also might go to the same guy and buy the whole lot, is that a good investment . Report this Post to the Staff

Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 11:40 pm Very nice coins and you got them for a great price! Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 11:49 pm Yeah, the 1939 50 reichspfennig are worth at least $35 each, which is good and the Olympic $10 is a fantastic deal. The tokens, I don't know what they're worth, the Copper Coin Catalogue one could be pretty old but looks fresh from the factory.

almingbg Valued Member Sweden 71 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 02:05 am I don't know what is your best deal, but the worst one must be Switzerland, 5 rappen, 1995B for $2 - the coin's value (not numismatic) is around 5 cents. Is it some key date/variety maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 08:44 am No, it's a proof worth around $4 with a mintage of 6,100. Edited by Apollo 12/29/2011 09:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7191 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 11:29 am It is a really cool variety of coins, thanks for sharing them. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't want to spoil the party or anything, but just want to point out the 50 Reichspfennig are of the aluminum variety and worth only about $2.50 in F and $6 in VF. You must be thinking of the nickel variety that are indeed worth upwards of $35. Anyway, nice coins, I think your best deal was the 5 Francs 1960, its melt value is about $9 even with the current drop in silver. Edited by vb3347 12/29/2011 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 12:24 pm Oh, I must've made a mistake. Mine must be in VF-XF. Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 11:34 pm Here's an Argentinian 1919 10 centavos, a nice example of old South American coinage. Too bad it's not silver. Paid $2 Edited by Apollo 12/30/2011 12:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
