Again I have had to work from home this week, whilst on my travels I visted 2 small markets stalls. From the 1st stall I brought 235 coins for £9, there were about 7 silver coins from malaya.

From the 2nd market stall I brought 110 coins for £5, but there 27 silver coins in them. The stall holder threw in some foreign bank notes as well. I'll try to post pictures later tonight. I think I am just going through a very lucky patch at the moment, I hope it continues.

As promised pictures, can anyone tell if the French bank note is of any value, thanks in advance.

Also I know the silver jubilee crown medal is not sliver, but I've never seen one before

Nice pick ups. It looks like you got a couple of nice old coins, so that's good.

Went to a market stall this morning brought 89 world coins for £5. The highlights were a 1944 silver shilling, 1930 silver 3 pence. I also ended up with 34 Swiss francs, 9 Swedish kroner, $1.85 and a bunch of world coins

Looking through the other coins I also found 1959 Scottish shilling, this a key date, so really pleased to get that coin as well.
