Hi all, I have started collecting Large coppers several months ago.... i love these coins and hope to collect as many dates as possible. I have managed to have a lot of the 19's and was asking.... Keeping in mind that I live in Egypt, I need to know how I am doing so far, and if the older dates are expensive or difficult to obtain? I am not looking for high grades, as long as the dates are visible, this is fine. This is the link to my collection; http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...p?album=1235Any comments, suggestions  Thanks |

Thank you guys for your nice words. bensond: I have many Egyptian, Middle east (Arab) and other world coins for trade. I will be happy to trade with you but I think according to the forum rules you must have at least 250 posts and have been a member for at least 90 days to start a trade. I will be waiting for your email once you are ready. |

Very nice collection EgCollector [:) Certainly beats mine which has a grand total of 5  . I dont think your find the older ones too expensive to obtain, apart from the key dates. I'm sure your also be able to find many of those either on the auctions on here or you could try your luck on ebay. |

I think that in the civilized (non-US) world, the plural of penny is pence. That may only apply to deonominations: two pence, sixpence, etc.

Hey azda, Looking through your list, there's a 1881 penny listed as 1811. Just a typo!  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

plural of penny is pence. Not always, if I'm saying that I have "15 x 1 penny coins", I would say "I have 15 pennies", but if I'm talking about their face value, then I'd say "I have 15 pence" or more correctly "1 Shilling and 3 pence" which would be said as "one and threepence" (1/3d) so 'pennies' as a plural in the first instance is correct. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

does anyone have any pennies for trade or sale? both of my moms were English and I lived in England for 8 years--when I see these coins the memories come flooding back! Retired USAF 1983-2003
