t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 04/21/2007 09:15 am A few weeks ago at the Boston Baystate show, I bought my first coin from Denmark. It is a 1693 silver 4 Mark piece with a portrait of King Christian V. Anyone here collect Scandinavian coins? Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland? What do you have? What are you looking for? It seems hard to find nice coins from these countries -- both online and at shows I go to in New England. Edited by t360 04/21/2007 09:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

I've got a dozen or so predecimal pieces from the Scandinavian countries, nothing older than the 1700's, but they were all acquired in bulk lots of mixed world coins; as you might expect, they're mostly worn flat. That's a lovely one you've got there. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

It was the first coin I bought at the show and the definitely the best catch of the day. Your WWI and WWII iron pieces from Sweden are very interesting. Do you find that iron surfaces are stable? Do you do anything special to preserve them? quote: That's a lovely one you've got there -sap Thanks again! I have some older Swedish coins and will post them if you guys are interested.
