Losing some weight... Cosmicdebris Wins!

in World & Ancient Coins Forum
Last Sunday I visited the annual Danish coin show in Copenhagen. I was looking for some stuff for a giveaway but didn't really come across anything (except plate-money and 1 kilo Australian kookas image ) until I ended up by a Swedish coin dealer. He had some really great iron coins to offer, so...


... if you are into iron coins and want a heavy addition to your collection, this is your chance. As usual, just post to enter.

What you can win is a series of Swedish iron coins from the WW2-era: 1 ore 1947 plus 2 and 5 ore 1950. Common coins but in very choice grade - I say they are uncirculated. They have a deep black shine with lots of lustre (as they are zinc coated) and not a single spot of rust.

I will draw a winner on Friday image

    Marcel, Please don't enter me but I wanted to say that my Swedish friend from Malmo was at the same show. My understanding is he didn't find much to add to his collection but he did make contacts to assist him in marketing a lot of his collection in the near future. As a matter of fact, I will be flying to Copenhagen in April for the Coin Faire in Malmo. We will then drive down to Hamburg then Osnabruck to visit Kuenker and Manfred Olding. A coin trip made in heaven!!! image

    Thanks for your comments and "I'm in's". Keep 'em coming!

    Iron coins in undamaged state are not exactly common but those from around WW2 can be found with a little patience. Most of them, however, have minor flaws in the strike such as flat looking or missing details. This problem is often seen on larger iron coins because the dies are worn quickly and it takes an immense pressure to strike a large iron coin.

    The coins that I am offering here do have minor imperfections - mostly the 5 ore as it is the largest of them. But then, if I had found some iron coins with full and strong strike they would probably be tucked away safely in my collection right now image

    Hi MM! That is one excellent giveaway! I'd like to refrain from entering, but on second thought, your offer is too hard to pass up, since I don't have any coins like what you describe. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Cacheman, come a bit further south and east on your trip....image

    Thanks to all the rest of you for showing interest in this. I might try and dig up some more iron coins next year to satisfy the "demand" image
