Junk Bin Bonanza

So I went to a local coin shop this past friday looking to pull some bargins out of their foriegn junk bin. The dealer told me that he usually saves up all the foreign coins he gets and sells them all to a gentleman who comes in 2 or 3 times a year. I asked him if I could buy them instead and he agreed to allow me mull through the two boxes of several hundred coisn he had to see if I was interested. I began picking out several coins and asking what price he would charge per coin, instead he told me he would only sell the whole lot at once for $50 or none at all. I decided to take the offer, and when I got home I started looking through them all and just finished today.



Some of the finds include
a 1896 Puerto Rican 10 centavos
canadian pennies from 1925, 1920, and 1933
silver 6 pence from 1923, 1938, 1940 (2), 1944, and 1946
an 1858a 1 schiedemunze from the Austro-Hunarian Empire
a 1945 UK 2 schilling and a 1943 aussie florin
a 1939 2 mark from Germany
a 1919 one centavo from the phillipines
a 1945 10 centavo from the phillipines
british pennies back to the teens and half pennies back to early victorian times
about 11 pounds sterling in circuling US coins
a arizona tax tax commision token
a papal states 1/2 baiocco from 1850 R
candian 5 cent coins from 1902, 1928, and a few other common dates
Italian 2 centesimi from 1897 and 1898
german 2 pfennigs from 1903, 1896, 1897
about 10 marks worth of modern german coins
German empire 10 pfennigs from 1876, 1891, and 1913
about a dozen other silver coins of various nationalites

and much much more

The 1896 puerto rican and 1925 candian cent together are worth more than I paid for the whole lot!
