Got em for $5 bucks including shipping, not great compared to the exchange rate, but I got some great older coins.

My favorite is the 5 dollar coin because I love edge lettering and beefy coins, and this thing is HUGE! It's as thick as a 1 pound coin, but much wider. It's 13.5 grams. Then again, who doesn't love scalloped edge coins.. That would be a fun poll, favorite coin shape!

The 10 and 50 cent coins are from the 1950s and both have security edges. Pretty nifty for 10 cents! As you can see though they have some gunk on them, any advice on getting it off?

Anyways, just wanted to share!

The gunk will probably come off with a soak in acetone. Available in most hardware stores.
