Tokenss Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 2:52 pm Hey guys, I randomly came across a guy sellin all these for $30 shipped, I offered $25 and he took it. I'm more of a Modern/Old Us collector but I enjoy lookin a foreign currencies as well, so figured I'd buy these for fun. Doesn't matter to me if I got a good deal or not, just thought it'd be fun buying these, and he told me he also threw in a few other coins. so anyhow, Could anyone please give me a little info on what I'm getting? Don't need any detailed explanations, just if any catch your eye you know about, let me know please? I haven't received them yet so I can upload better pics later if you guys cant see em well enough. Thought you guys might enjoy looking at this find as well. Thank in advance! Edited by Tokenss 08/16/2014 2:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 3:54 pm I think I see a halfpenny in the third column, third row. The one in first row, second column looks like it's a halfcrown. I'm going to guess and say the one in first row, first column is a George V penny, and because of its similar size and colour the one below it looks to be a "bun head" Victoria penny. So, two coins to the right of the Victoria one would be another Victorian penny, an "old head" obverse. All I've figured out are pre-decimal British coins. I either can't see well enough or need the other side to tell what the coins are. I'm sorry I can't help with the notes, but I'll try helping with the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 3:59 pm Pictures are going to need to be bigger and showing obverses and reverses of all for proper ID'ing, but I can see some French issues (including one of Napoleon III), some older British issues and some modern ones, a Belgian issue (I believe in the lower right corner), a Mexican issue (probably from the '60's), and a German issue from 1923(?) in the upper right corner. And those two "notes" at the top I believe are some form of check. Real banknotes (of any nation) I don't think have the values typed on them. Report this Post to the Staff
Tokenss Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 4:14 pm Thanks, Yeah some of the coins are definitely gonna need a close up / scanned. The paper to me looked like fake money orders. I don't really collect paper so I didn't mind whatever they are. Whenever I receive my package Ill get some good pics and update. But again, thanks for that bit of info you two.

These had a face value of about 75 cents back then. Now replaced by the Euro. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/20/2014 1:48 pm Top row, 4th column is a subway token. Agreed that better pictures are needed to better identify the rest of the coins. I'm seeing some 19th/20th century European and modern Canadian coins. I'd say you did fairly well for $25 for the lot.
