Great pickup!

The Greek coins were probably bought by someone as a holiday souvenir - back in the 1970s I remember seeing similar 'sets' of obsolete Greek coins on sale at souvenir shops in Athens.

For the Canadian 1909 quarter can you please post larger pictures in the Canadian error forum? I was looking at that and thought the scan inverted the image. Could you also do a few simple tests and post the results:

weight of the coin, is it magnetic? This coin should be sterling silver, should be roughly 5.8g

If it is aluminum, then the weight would be way lighter, and unlikely a legit coin.

Thanks for all the replies, welcomes, and useful information about the coins.

The Morgan is likely a $40 coin itself.

That's one I would like to see in greater detail, most especially the lower reverse.


Here's a few shots. It was hard to get the whole coin in the field of view on my camera.

Yeah you did great. Definitely more than $40 of value there. I would find the Saddam bill cool as well. Neat stuff.
