I don't generally collect any foreign coins, but I had to pick these up when I saw them at the antique shop. Only $3 a set.

    Good buy

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Nice pick ups. You might want to get them out of those sleeves. They look like a breeding ground for PVC damage.

    Yeah, I am contemplating getting some graded. Definitely some pretty ones here.

    You scored a home run for $3 with the Netherland Antilles set. Probably close to an ounce of silver there!

    As said above, those holders will destroy the coins as they are loaded with PVC.

    Edit to add the French 5 Francs and 2 larger Belgian coins have silver too.

    Nice collector coins if not already damaged by PVC. Probably not worth the cost of having them slabbed.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I don't believe I see any obvious pvc damage or signs of it yet. I'll take some better photos when I get home

    Just a couple quick pics. I don't think I see any green, but will give them all a bath after I remove them.
