Burkhard Valued Member Italy 78 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 11:19 am Hi everyone, today is a pretty good day since I checked my mail box and found my last 'bay purchase has arrived (please not the fancy envelope all covered with odd stamps, some as old as 1967!). The lot consisted of the following coins: 1 centesimo and 2 centesimi (both 1867 Milan mint), 10 centesimi 1862 Paris mint, 1 lira 1863 Milan mint, 2 lire 1863 Naples mint and the big 5 lire (1875, Milan mint). Nothing special or scarce... junk silver and a couple of copper coins. BUT... The last coin, an 1861 5 centesimi, bears the 'B' mintmark... Bologna mint... that's awesome, since I only payed 55 euro for the lot, while that coin alone sold for about 60/70 euro in this grade. No high grade at all, but a pleasant coin. I like it. It's my first and last Bologna mint coin, since this atelier was closed after 1861 and only produced this con for the Kingdom of Italy. Report this Post to the Staff

Net-Steals New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 5:11 pm Nice, though I know nothing, nor an expert on coins. I quit the hobby in exchange for the banknotes a while back, but, nice ones you got there. Hope you are happy with it. Report this Post to the Staff
