yellowperch Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 10:27 am Wow, you were on a mission. I bought 1 coin, 1948 Cdn 50 Cent, VF30 for $100. I would have liked to stay longer but had to take my daughter to a lesson. There were deals to be had and the more you buy, the better the price. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 12:29 pm CoinsandCanada lists a 1948 50¢ piece for $160.00 in VF-20. I think you got a good deal. Edited by Joseph7420 10/20/2013 12:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 7:32 pm Ooh, nice buys! Quote: France... Some denomination from 1783. If it's copper and [British] penny-sized, it's probably a sol. I have one of these as my only Kingdom of France coin - yours is probably nicer than mine if you can make out the mint-mark below Louis XVI's neck... Quote: (Confeoderatio) Helvetica (says on coin)... 20? 1893. Switzerland, 20 rappen. To this day, these coins use the exact same size and design, so yours could have been pulled from circulation last year in Switzerland - although yours is nickel, whereas from 1939 and onward they have been copper-nickel. Quote: Hong Kong... 10 cents 1886. Wow! Old Hong Kong coins are pretty hard to find for me. Nice silver buy Quote: Israel... 25? 1973 -$0.50. This would be 25 agorot, 1/4th of a (long-obsolete) lira. How did you get the Christian date? Or was it in a 2x2 with the date written down? The Hebrew numerals spell out (5)733 in the Jewish era, and I still have trouble converting. Quote: Mexico... 5 centavos 1938. Lucky you, finding the low-mintage date of the type (3,340,000) Quote: Netherlands... 10 cents 1943. Another nice silver buy. I have a couple of these. Quote: Philippines (US)... 1 centavo 1920. This is also a low mintage date...was it sold as such? Quote: South Africa... ¼ something 1957. 1/4 of a penny, which makes it a farthing. Quote: B. C. electric transit token B (I think it's American) -$?. It's funny - I have also got one of these. B.C. is for... you guessed it... British Colombia (specifically Vancouver). Electric is for the "new" (in the 60s) electric bus system. It does have that American 50s aesthetic, though. Here's an ebay guide: http://www.ebay.com/gds/British-Col...63812/g.html Quote: 'Good for one fare' -$?. Can't say anything about this without pictures - guess how many tokens say "good for one fare" Quote: 1940s meat token -$1. Is this that cardboard, blue ration token saying MEAT - VIANDE? My local antique mall is selling a huge spool of them for 50 cents each, so if anyone wants one... Quote: 1857 bank of upper Canada -$2. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 10:25 pm @nalaberong (France coin) It depends what you mean by 'nicer' everything on the coin is legible, but is a little dented and scratched (one or two big ones) (Hong Kong coin) Pretty decent condition for it's age, around F-15 and VF-20. (Israel) The date was written on the cardbord slab. To be honest, I don't know any of the coins mintages excluding Canadian. I believe both the Mexican and Philippines coins were in the same bin, something like 14 for $5.00. For the 'good for one fare' token, to narrow it down, it has eight sides with an M in the center (spaces between the M, it's in a circle). The other side reads Mac Arthur Trans Co. Ltd.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 10:30 pm @Solidifier Have fun at the Saskatoon coin show! I've also been waiting a long time for this one too. Edited by Joseph7420 10/20/2013 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 10:44 pm Definitely a good buy for ~35 cents each - normally that's a bad unit price, but here are the prices for VF (which I think is "average circulated"): Mexico 5 centavos 1938: $4.00 Philippines 1 centavo 1920: $2.50, or $8.00 with an S mint-mark Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/20/2013 11:18 pm The Mexican coin would grade around F-15 to VF-20 (FineVeryFine-18 ) , the Philippines coin would grade around VF-20. I think the Philippines coin doesn't have a mintmark... depending on where it is... Oh! and because of this coin show, I have exactly 1000 coins, tokens and banknote in my main collection (by main collection, I mean not including my date set).
