ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 7:48 pm I'm glad I was not the one to break the bad news... there has not been any silver in French coins since before the end of the first world war. Still a nice find, I got a 5 Baht coin from Thailand in a quarter roll once, it was the only roll I picked up that day and was a nice surprise, I just pulled a 10 Centavos from Guatemala the other day from a roll of nickels. Anyone that roll hunts ends up with tons of foreign coins especially US-Canada cross-overs. I know of a few Canadian's that are working on State Quarter sets. Nice of you to offer but if you have not gotten that much from a small amount of CRH then you are not addicted enough also selling and trading is not allowed until you have been here 3 months and have 150 quality posts RULES, RULES, RULES but it does make sense, give us a chance to get to know you and vice-versa Being in Montana I have a better chance of getting Canadians so I decided to see if I could make a whole set of cent to quarter for Elizabeth II. I'm doing fairly well on 5,10,25 cents from late 60's to late 90's a few from after 2000. I did find a 1968 Canadian dime that was 50% silver, but I'm not even too worried about completing the silvers, it is all just a side step from collecting US coins from rolls. I'm doing great on cents, 1953-2000 I'm only missing 2 from the 50's and I'm sort of spotty after 2000 but working on it all the time On a set like this it REALLY is ONLY about the HUNT. If I spent 5 bucks on a 1953 Liz II cent then got one the next day in a roll I don't know what I would do Report this Post to the Staff
frodo Valued Member United States 352 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 10:08 pm thanks..the silver..oh well. live and learn. sounds like you have a pretty nice collection I thought about collecting canadians, but to hard to get here.

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 10:32 pm Keep at it Frodo - you're heading in the right direction it seems. As for cast iron pieces - my brother does the same and from what he tells me, there are a number of you folks out there. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 05/16/2014 10:43 pm Absolutely - even heat, lower temperatures, and easy cleanups. Unless I'm boiling spag., I'm using cast iron when I cook! Report this Post to the Staff

keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 05/17/2014 10:00 am Cast iron IS the only way to cook. They make good home defense weapons as well. Keep hunting those rolls frodo. You'll eventually find some silver. Report this Post to the Staff
