The Eidolon Posted August 4, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 4, 2022 The local shop had several bags of unsorted world coins set aside for the 10 cent bin. As usual, I was eager to help myself to some barely picked-over coins. The first 10, L to R from top: Denmark, 10 Kroner, 1989 (about $1.35 face value) Italy, 1 Lira, 1928 Israel ,1/2 Lira, 1975 (?) Sweden, 5 Öre, 1920 UK, 1/2 Penny, 1926 USSR, 5 Kopecks, 1961x2 USSR, 5 Kopecks, 1945 (Apparently, this is not a common date, worth ~$20?) Japan, 1 Sen, Meiji 16 = 1883, badly scratched on obverse Iceland, 1940, 5 Aurar I'll try to post the rest later. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldhoopster Posted August 4, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 4, 2022 About 15-20 years ago, I started putting my junk box finds and accumulations in binders. The hope was that it would jump start some interest with my 3 kids. They are now in their 20s and have no interest in coins. I probably have more money in the binder pages and 2x2s than I do in the coins. Most of the binders shown on the middle 2 shelves are misc world coins. I actually wore out a stapler getting in 2x2s Also have about 8-10 2x2 boxes with the pre-1850 (approx) stuff. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
