Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3325 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 9:17 pm Went to the LCS today to pick up a few supplies. I decided to spend a little time in the world coin bulk bin. I don't really collect world coins with any focus, just pick up what looks interesting. They sell them 8 for a dollar. I found a couple of older coins and was excited to get them. They are common coins but interesting. Still looking for a Vicky! "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 9:42 pm My favorite weekly rite. I've commented before here that on the whole, at least in my area, anything with a British monarch on it seems to go directly into the "bargain" bin, Victoria included (and occasionally even William IV & George III). I'm not sure your photos represent very well the true hue of this duo. On the cent, I'd wonder if that little bit of white residue isn't from a long ago application of metal polish. The 1912 2 heller had an exceptionally high mintage (almost 76 million). But both exhibit a high degree of extant design detail, and are excellent finds at the price you mentioned.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3325 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 10:10 pm You're right, LuckyCuss. I am struggling to illuminate the coins under my new camera. They are actually brighter than they appear. Still trying new angles, etc. I thought they looked to be in pretty decent shape for their age. Thank you for your comments.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 01:01 am Those are both great pickups for that price. With what I've learned here on CCF and elsewhere, I could spend days going through world bulk bins.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 10:38 am Nice finds. I found one of those hellers while I was CRH Lincoln Cents. Really neat looking coin. Ironically I believe mine is a 1912 as well. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 02/11/2018 10:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3325 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 1:55 pm I always like to have a look-see in the bin while I'm at a shop or show. Lotta fun. Quote: I found one of those hellers while I was CRH Lincoln Cents Sounds like you got yours a little cheaper! Based on the mintage that LuckyCuss mentioned, I'm not surprised if yours is the same date.
