My Sunday Market Finds

Gold!

Very happy for you!

2017 will finish on top with the gold, as despite me going today there wasn't much to be found. Less people than usual with the same coins I've seen for a while now. So the last find for 2017 will be the gold!
I have yet to receive any additional information about the piece but I still have it at hands.

As for next visit, I will be out of the country next Sunday so I'll miss that one, but the following Sunday should be good.

Any suggestions for Sunday markets in London next week?

Good luck this year.

Aaand we're back! Holidays are over and everyday life is back! A few pickups today.



20 Franc Notes series 1997
5 Centavos, Honduras 1975
1 Markka, Finland 1965 & 1966

25 kr for these.

Sometimes I find it amazing how certain silver coins can be brushed away as 'dirty coins', as I'm sure these Markkas were. Forgotten in a home from a relative for a while ago, someone must've decided to get rid of these by selling them at the market, and the dirtiest coins would certainly go last, these are just after scrap metal after demonetization. I'm starting to lose track of how many of these .350 silver coins I've bought now! (Finnish 1 Markka)

What's even more amazing about these 1 Markkas are that they seem to tone the exact same way, the high points turn grey and black whereas the low points stay bright. Makes them easy to recognize, especially because of the raised edges.

We're back in business!

Thanks for the weekly news! Silver Markkas ... good deal!

Things are moving on for the start of this year



½ Öre, Sweden 1857
10 Filler, Hungary 1893
12 Skilling, Norway 1856 & 1873
5 Milliemes, Egypt 1917

Unknown '20' aluminium token
15 Möngö, Mongolia 1977
1 Lira, Turkey 1957
5 Drachmai, Greece 1930
1 Yuan, Taiwan 70 (1981)
10 Escudos, Portugal 1986
10 Qirsh, Egypt 1992
1 Peso, Argentina 1995

80 kr for this today. Shame about the drill hole in one of the Norwegian 12 Skilling, but that's what made it cheap

X2an, you got some nice old coins there. It still surprises me that there are so many coins over 100 years old out there. Nice finds!

Sadly nothing new today. It was forecasted to rain later on today (which it did) and that seemed to have scared away plenty of sellers.




Looking good
