canary01 Valued Member Netherlands 202 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 09:30 am I bought a few coins at a coin auction a few weeks ago. It's quite a random selection of coins but I'm really happy with them! I paid approximately $325 for these. Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 10:24 am Judging SOLEY on the numbers, you spent around $65 per coin... 1. Not sure what that is. 2. Cleveland Centennial, worth around $100-$120 (and it is a VERY awesome coin!) 3. 1924 Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary, in that shape around $95-$150 (its an awesome coin, as well!). Might be cleaned, though... 4. 1886 IHC (Variety 2), VF-20 ish, not sure I like the color... Assuming it gets a full grade, $50ish. 5. No idea what it is, but looks like it could have been cleaned at one point. I'd say you did very well Edited by ChildOfTheWheat 12/12/2015 10:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 12:50 pm The first one is for me the most interesting. It is a Rosa Americana Penny, struck in England by William Wood for intended circulation in the American colonies. The Red Book notes that only a few did circulate in America, most probably circulated in England. I would grade your coin around VG to F. It is a nice colonial piece with an american connection.
