999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 07/20/2015 8:34 pm I am looking forward to receiving this lot, with free shipping it comes to 10c a coin which appears to be an uncirculated lot. I wonder the year it was put together given the MEETS BOY SCOUT MERIT BADGE REQUIREMENTS. Something from the 60s? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 07/20/2015 8:55 pm All the coins appear to be 1960s or similar vintage, so that would be my best guess for the date, too. The bag seems to have kept them remarkably well preserved. Even the zinc coin - the small Peruvian centavo over on the right - looks just as shiny as the aluminum Korean coin behind it. For five bucks, I'd have bought it too. Even if most of the coins were "duplicates", they'd all be upgrades. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 07/20/2015 9:04 pm I'd look for doubled dies too. Nice looking coins, looks like a similar selection of coins as one that I was giving as a teen (not sure about the packaging). Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/20/2015 11:33 pm Nice!. Do not think I'd open it. This is one case where I'd say the packaging is at least as cool as the coins. Makes it a cross collectable too..... boy scout collectors may be more interested than numismatists.....imo Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 04:54 am The Ethiopian coins is from the 40's if I can recall correctly, otherwise most of them do look 60's - but sadly no silver that meets the eye. But still 50 High-grade mixed world coins for $5? I'd buy it any day. Report this Post to the Staff
999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 05:13 am I did a web search and came up with another example. I didn't "sign up" to find out what it sold for. I am leery of such sign-ups. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...ns-473924731 I have started a WW type collection gleaned from mixed lots. I plan to incorporate these coins into the collection. Thanks all for your responses. Report this Post to the Staff
