I just started to get into foreign coins and have been hitting my LCS foreign junk bin every time I go and today I scored my 4th silver coin for 20 cents :) (I think they fill a smaller bucket out of a larger bucket for me to go through as it varies every time)
Today's score was a George V 1929 six pence goes great with my George V 1920 Florin and George VI half crown I have found in my previous visits (also I got a Mexico 1994 10 Nuevos which is also silver)
Yea for a coin shop not knowing anything about foreign coins (thought I was going to get lucky with the Shilling I bought but it was a 1948)
I am rounding out some nice early 1900's UK coins I have pennys (large cents) for Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI and Elizabeth II and have half penny's for Edward VII and George VI. I am also doing some Canadian pennies just fun coins.
I mean at 20 cents each its been lots of fun and all the silver scores totally make it worth it.
Utah, I swear they just need to bring everything out for me, I might even be missing things as I don't know every foreign coin to look for (I got lucky on the diaz nuevos just bought it was cool not knowing it was silver).
