NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17911 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 6:37 pm I couldn't believe my luck this morning! I was in my local candy store and they were selling little bags of mixed foreign coins for only 40p (about 60 US cents!) Needless to say I bought one, and this is what it contained! Three rare pattern large gold Washington quarter-dollars, a gold 1998D Lincoln Cent, a gold Danish 10 kroner, a gold 1979 Swiss 2 francs and a gold Finnish 1 markka. These must be unbelievably rare and valuable. Do you think I should put them on ebay?

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 7:32 pm I have a huge 1851 dollar in that. Looks a lot like a gold dollar reverse, but it's much larger and the obverse has an eagle on it. Also I suspect it was minted in 2009 or 2010. 1841 ruble too, from the same bunch. A few others that don't have dates on them. ...Collecting chocolate coins is slightly easier for me: I don't particularly like chocolate (no allergy or anything, just don't like it much). The main problem remaining is that, just like Zincolns they tend to rot after a few years (but I don't have any chocolate older than 2005 yet, so it isn't a major problem for me so far).
