SSP: LordM's Sooper-Dooper $1 Sale (or 5/$4): list is now complete for this week but more may follow

All coins are in 2 X 2 holders. I think you'll find some nice bargains here. I have lots more 75-cent to $1.00 coins in my booth at the mall (many of which catalog for more than that), but we'll see how this goes before I add any more from there.

$1.00 each or 5/$4.00. Add $1.00 for shipping (worldwide, any quantity- I'll pick up any excess cost).
PayPal preferred but snailmail cash/check/money order will do.

Sorry no pics, but there was no time- if I had time to image all these, they'd be on eBay. If the short descriptions below don't give you enough of an idea, you can always PM me with any questions (or corrections- sometimes when I am up late at night typing, errors inevitably creep in, so please bear with me if I make any errors or omissions.)

(Republic) 1 fen, Year 29 (1940 AD), UNC. KM/Y357, brass. These cute little coins show a sunburst on one side and a piece of ancient spade money on the other. All are a light brassy gold color with cartwheel luster. These catalog for $4.00 each and I could probably get at least $2.00 each for them, but I have several duplicates, so here they are on the dollar list. Steal 'em for 25% of catalog! (4 coins) 1 SHIPPED: NJMark, 3 RESERVED: historygeekDENMARK

5 øre, 1958(h), UNC, KM843.2, zinc. Heart privy mark: Copenhagen. Typically dark but no porosity or oxidation to speak of. Nothing wrong with it but I personally dislike zinc coins, so take it for less than a quarter of the Krause value. (2002 catalog=$4.50)5 kroner, 1975(h), EF+, KM863.1, copper-nickel. Slightly better date. Large coin. (2002 catalog= $2.25 EF/$5.50 UNC).ECUADOR

5 pfennig, 1875-F, VG+, KM3, copper-nickel, Stuttgart mint. (2002 catalog= $1.50 F)5 pfennig, 1907-G, EF, KM11, copper-nickel, Karlsruhe mint.10 pfennig, 1916-A EF, KM20, WW1 iron issue, medium to light grey with a few tiny dark specks, no rust, somewhat better than the average iron coin (2002 catalog= $2.00)GERMANY (WEIMAR REPUBLIC)

5 reichspfennig, 1926-A, EF, KM39, aluminum-bronze. (2002 catalog= $2.00)200 marks, 1923-A, AU, KM35, aluminum. Very nice example of the inflationary coinage- I know they made a lot of these, particularly these 1923 Berlin coins, but I still think this type is undervalued in the books. Maybe it's just because I like the design. (2002 catalog= $1.00 EF/$1.75 UNC)200 marks, 1923-G, EF, KM35, aluminum, Karlsruhe mint. Inflationary coinage. (2002 catalog= $2.00)GERMANY (THIRD REICH / NAZI)

1 reichspfennig, 1942-A, AU, KM97, zinc. Berlin mint. Slight oxidation but not bad. (2002 catalog=$5.00 UNC)10 reichspfennig, 1944-A, AU+, KM101, zinc. Berlin mint. Some oxidation near the swastika, but the remaining surfaces are above average. Looks OK, and is a real bargain for a dollar, particularly if you can treat that one oxidized spot (it's just that typical whitish stuff, not heavy corrosion). (2002 catalog=$2.50 EF/$7.50 UNC)GERMANY (FEDERAL REPUBLIC / WEST GERMANY)

1 pfennig, 1950-D, BU, KM105, copper-plated steel. Munich mint, full mint red with hot luster.2 pfennig, 1950-J, AU, KM106, bronze. Hamburg mint, chocolate brown with nice surfaces.

Karlsruhe mint, brassy brown color. Better date. 10 pfennig, 1949-G, UNC (scratch on reverse), KM103, brass-clad steel. Karlsruhe mint, brassy color with luster. Better date. This one is a real heartbreaker, folks- it would be a $40.00 coin if some dummkopf hadn't pin-scratched a small "X" in the area around the mintmark! Even as is, it's an attractive piece, and still looks like a $40.00 coin from the front, anyway. C'mon, adopt it for a dollar. It needs a loving home. (2002 catalog=$40.00)2 mark, 1965-G, VF+, KM116, copper-nickel, Karlsruhe mint. Max Planck issue. Looks EF or better. (2002 catalog= $1.50 VF/$2.50 EF)GERMANY (DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC / EAST GERMANY)

Light brown, maybe cleaned long ago and retoned naturally, or maybe it's original- I can't tell for sure. (Catalog= $3.00)SHIPPED: allegriHalfpenny, 1903 VF, KM793.2, bronze, dark brown with nice surfaces, lighter brown on the high points, handsome. (2002 catalog= $2.50) SHIPPED: allegriHalfpenny, 1904 F, KM793.2, bronze, nice surfaces, even brown, no distractions (2002 catalog= $1.50) SHIPPED: tlhoy Penny, 1806 or 1807, Fair, KM663, copper. No date, but one of the 2-year large George III type. No real problems aside from wear. All major design elements are distinct; George's head on the obverse and Britannia on the reverse are clear, rims are nearly full, surfaces are smooth dark brown. Faint traces of obverse legends and a ghost of the date show weakly, but not enough to read. (2002 catalog= $5.00-6.00 F)SHIPPED: mongoosePenny, 1876-H, G, KM755, bronze. Large date variety (?), Heaton mint. Medium brown with lighter brown on the high points.

Medium brown with no distractions. SHIPPED: allegriPenny, 1946, AU, KM845, bronze. Medium brown with semi-glossy, attractive surfaces. Sharp. I was originally asking $3.50 for this coin. (2002 catalog=$1.00 EF/$7.75 UNC)SHIPPED: allegriPenny, 1948, AU+, KM845, bronze. Light brown and glossy, very sharp. I was originally asking $2.00 for this one. (2002 catalog= $3.50 UNC)SHIPPED: allegriPenny, 1949, UNC (RB), KM869, bronze. Hot orange-brick red with some light, iridescent-bluish mottled toning over the portrait. Looks unnatural at first glance, like it was cleaned and retoned, but it wasn't. Maybe that's just because of the iridescent patch on the obverse. Definitely an interesting-looking piece- you might like it and you might not. But it's UNC and the reverse is full red- definitely worth a buck. (2002 catalog= $4.00)SHIPPED: allegriFlorin (2 shillings), 1898 or 1899, G, KM781, .925 silver/.3364 oz. Full obverse rim and a good looking, biggish silver coin, but the reverse rim is just weak enough to lose the tops of some of the lettering and the bottom half of the date. You can read the top of the 189_ and see the top half of the last digit- it's either an 8 or a 9. This is really a handsome piece for the grade, especially from the obverse, and it would fetch at least 2 or 3 dollars if the date and reverse rim were full. At the very least, your $1.00 is buying you more than 1/3 ounce of silver for less than the melt price! (Catalog= $4.25 F)SHIPPED: allegriFlorin (2 shillings), 1940, AU, KM855, .500 silver/.1818 oz. Medium grey with some mottled darker grey toning on the obverse, some luster remaining on the reverse. This coin even comes with a pedigree which is interesting, if not especially famous: it is from the Everett Hoard, which was brought back by a Merchant Mariner from his WW2 travels, and stored in an attic for over 50 years, which is why this coin and many of its brethren are toned- some darkly so, but I give Mr. Everett's heirs full credit for not messin' with the coins at all. Only because of the mottling on the obverse is this coin in the $1.00 sale- and the toning might not bother you. The reverse is very nice.

1/2 anna, 1862, G, KM468, copper. Well worn but full rims, all legends and design elements visible but "QUEEN" on the obverse is a tad weak. Medium brown, no porosity.

1 rial, SH1353 (circa 1975 AD), UNC, KM1183, copper-nickel. F.A.O. issue. All have decent luster and some interesting "ghosting" on the reverse, from the Shah's head on the other side. (Like you see on the British George V pennies, if you know what I mean.) (2002 catalog= $2.00 each)(6 coins available, all pretty much identical).Note: I just discovered an interesting die variety on these, where the last digit in the date is doubled, apparently repunched. It probably isn't super-rare because I had a dozen of these coins and found three with the repunched dates, but it's interesting, nonetheless, particularly in addition to the pronounced "ghosting" effect on the reverses. In addition to the six single (normal-date/non-repunched) coins on this dollar list above, I have three paired sets of two coins each (one normal and one repunched), for three dollars per set.ITALY

10 centesimi, 1867-N, VG, KM11.4, copper. Naples mint. Chocolate brown with nice surfaces, no problems or distractions aside from even circulation wear. As you may know, Italian copper from the 1800's and early 1900's usually comes badly beat up, dented, or bent, for some strange reason, so problem-free coins like this one are in the minority.10 centesimi, 1893-BI, VG+, KM27, copper. King Umberto I. Struck at Birmingham in England. Dark chocolate brown with no problems or distractions. Very handsome for the grade, just barely missed Fine.10 centesimi, 1921-R, VF, KM60, copper. Rome mint. Usually these are all dented up, but this one escaped. Medium brown, "bee and flower" type.(Fascist) 10 centesimi, 1938/Year XVI, EF, KM74, copper. Some darkish staining on reverse. (2002 catalog= $1.50)(Fascist) 1 lira, 1942/Year XX, KM77b, EF, stainless steel (magnetic). (2002 catalog= $1.50)5 lire, 1954-R, UNC, KM92, aluminum. Bright white and lustrous. Ship's rudder and dolphinlike fish.10 lire, 1952-R, EF, KM93, aluminum. Second year of issue; while this type of coin is a common junkbox find, the earlier dates are a little better in high grade. Strange-looking object on the obverse I have never been able to figure out- I think it's a plow of some sort, but it looks like a log with antlers! Reverse has two wheat sheaves. (2002 catalog= $1.50)100 lire, 1960-R, VF, KM96, stainless steel. Looks EF or even AU- these typically appear better than their technical grade, as the stainless steel stays bright and holds up very well to circulation. You usually can't distinguish the grades on 'em without a loupe. 2002 catalog price is $1.50 in VF but then it screams up to $10.00 in EF, and $100.00 in UNC! Most folks would call this coin at least EF. It's certainly close, and hard to call. While later dates are quite common, the 1955-60 coins of this type command a premium even in the circulated grades. For a buck, you can't lose on this one. 100 lire, 1963-R, EF+, KM96, stainless steel. These look AU or better- as usual, these coins typically stay bright and nice-looking. They have a very handsome classical design, too. While still pretty inexpensive, the 1967 and earlier coins command slightly better prices in EF and up. (2002 catalog= $2.00 EF/$30.00 UNC) (Two coins available)100 lire, 1964-R, AU, KM96, stainless steel. Bright and shiny, as most of these are in any grade above VF. (2002 catalog= $1.50 EF/$20.00 UNC)MEXICO

(Spanish Colonial) half real, circa 1772-88, AG, .917 silver. Date faintly visible but not readable. The rest of the legends are mostly legible, and all design elements are clear. Bust of Charles III, who reigned 1760-88, Mexico City mintmark. This coin was 1/16 of the fabled "piece of eight". Not the nicest example, but hey- it's 200+ year old colonial silver for a buck! SHIPPED: mongoose10 pesos, 1978, UNC, KM477.2, copper-nickel. Thick flan Manuel Hidalgo issue, interesting septagonal (seven-sided) shape. (2002 catalog=$2.50) SHIPPED: oldshep50 pesos, 1982, AU, KM490, copper-nickel. Features a wild-looking rendition of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec goddess of the moon. Not only was she a really strange-lookin' chick, but oh, my! That name! Try saying that one, three times, fast! (Heck, try saying it even once , for that matter!) Anyway, I digress, as usual. This is a big coin, almost the size of a U.S. silver dollar, and you're gettin' an AU for less than half the EF price! (2002 catalog= $2.50 EF/ $5.00 UNC). (Psst! Say- did I mention that Col- uh, Coyl-, uh, whatsername, is nude above the waist? But be warned- she ain't exactly a "hottie", though! LOL) SHIPPED: oldshep500 pesos, 1987, AU, KM529, copper-nickel. Francisco Madero. (2002 catalog= $2.00 UNC)SHIPPED: oldshep5 new pesos, 1999, EF+, KM552, bimetallic (copper-nickel outer ring, aluminum-bronze center). Looks AU-ish until you get it under a loupe. (2002 catalog= $2.00 EF/$4.00 UNC)NETHERLANDS

1 cent, 1823, F, KM47, copper. Utrecht mint, caduceus privy mark. Obverse is half brown and half dark brown-black, reverse is all black, coin is slightly bent. Despite having some negative attributes, the coin has sharp details for the grade, is 180 years old, and normally catalogs for $9.00.1 cent, 1899, VG+, KM107, bronze. Medium brown. (2002 catalog= $2.50 F)25 cents, 1941, AU, KM164, .640 silver/.0736 oz. Light grey toning with the tiniest hint of gold, subdued cartwheel luster beneath. Handsome.NETHERLANDS ANTILLES

(Curaçao) 1 cent, 1944-D, VF+, KM41, bronze. Struck at the U.S. mint in Denver. Handsome design with rampant crowned lion bearing sword on obverse, wreath of orange branches on reverse.

Attractive lozenge shape with scallop shells in the corners of the reverse- neat looking little coin. (2002 catalog= $0.75 VF/$1.50 EF)PHILIPPINES

(U.S. Sovereignty) 5 centavos, 1932-M, VF, KM175, coper-nickel. Manila mint. Grey toning with some darker grey at the peripheries. A "forgotten" Liteside coin- next time somebody quizzes you on the U.S. branch mints, you can wow 'em by including Manila- most folks don't know about that one. (2002 Krause and 2004 Redbook price= $2.00)(Republic) 1 piso, 1972, UNC, KM203, copper-nickel. Jose Rizal. Brassy colored alloy. Almost the size of a U.S. silver dollar. I just have one listed for now, but I have literally dozens of others in AU+ and UNC and am still putting some in 2 X 2's. Let me know if you are interested in more. (2002 catalog= $1.75)SOUTH AFRICA

Threepence, 1943, AU, KM26, .800 silver/.0362 oz. Ex-Everett Hoard. Saved by a WW2 sailor and stored in an attic for 50+ years. Many of the coins from the hoard were toned- some nicely, some rather darkly. This one has a lustrous white reverse but a mottled grey/brown toning over the obverse. Were it not for the obverse toning, I probably could have sold this piece for more, but this was one case where I would rather leave it original and sell it for a dollar than dip it and try for more. If you want to dip it, go ahead. (2002 catalog= $2.50 EF/$6.00 UNC)(BTW, I do have a number of other South African silver coins left over from the Everett Hoard, if you're interested. Many are priced under ten dollars each. Everett may not be a famous pedigree but it is interesting and affordable.) SWEDEN

1/2 franc, 1914-B, VF, KM23, .835 silver/.0671 oz. Medium to medium-dark grey with lighter devices; a nice looking circulated silver coin about the size of a U.S. dime. Like many other Swiss denominations, these were among the longest-lived coin designs in the world, from 1875 until at least the year 2000. They were silver until 1967. The obverse features a standing goddess of Liberty/"Helvetia" with a spear. (2002 catalog= $2.00)1/2 franc, 1962-B, UNC/BU, KM23, .835 silver/.0671 oz.

Standing goddess of Liberty/"Helvetia" with a spear, wreath reverse. A screaming white gem with beautiful luster.

I have a 50 pc. BU roll in a plastic tube if you want some for the price of the other coins on this list, or for 60 cents each if you buy the whole tube (i.e., $30.00 for all 50 coins). I have not opened the tube, but looking through the plastic, it appears that all the coins are white.Walking Liberty half dollar, 1939, G-VG, .900 silver/.3617 oz. Dented somewhat. I'm practically giving this away- when is the last time you heard of someone selling 90% silver for 2X face or less, hmm? And a Walker from the 30's, too boot! Who cares if it has a little problem? Less than melt, and it really ain't horrible. Less than a buck if you buy four other coins off the list and qualify for the 5/$4.00 discount. Call it your reward for reading the list this far. Wonder who'll spot it first? Won't last long...gone! SOLD: koko70VENEZUELA

<< <i>What, no Guineas?

Sure, lots of 'em. Just hatched a few more. Whaddya want, a big 'un or a little 'un?

They'll cost you more than a dollar, though.

Aethelred · December 5, 2003 11:37AM

Is that big one a Five Guinea?

lordmarcovan · December 5, 2003 11:38AM

At least!

The others are little 1/3 and 1/2 guineas.

TTT with new additions for December 7th.

Much, much more to follow, but I have to process a big Liteside shipment I got in first (so I can get it in the mall in time for the holiday rush). Therefore, it'll probably be a few days before I get back to the additions for this list.

I also have a whole bunch of 75-cent/5 for $3.00 coins, but we'll finish the dollar coins first and see if there's any interest for the 75 cent ones later.

lordmarcovan · December 7, 2003 6:06PM

TTT for 12/8

If my bumping this up to the top as I make new additions bothers anyone, lemme know, and I'll move this to BST.

NJMark · December 8, 2003 5:54AM

PM sent. Add some more!

Mark

lordmarcovan · December 8, 2003 7:25AM

More comin', though this week's additions to the list are complete up through the G's. All the Great Britain got snapped up for now. I still have H for Hong Kong and so on down the alphabet to add tonight.

When this stuff is gone, there is probably four times as much as this remaining in my $1.00 bin at the mall. And maybe five times this much in my 75 cent bin, so perhaps a 75-cent sale is in order for later, if anyone is interested. There is still quite a bit of British copper including low grade 1800's pieces in both my $1.00 and 75 cent bins at the mall, plus some other odds and ends including a little silver.

First I need to finish THIS list, though.

I couldn't even begin to tell you how much stuff there is in my 35-cent and 10-cent bins... at least thirty pounds, I reckon! But you'll have to visit the Colonial Glynn Place Mall in Brunswick, GA for that.

Oh, and there's quite a lot of better $2.00-100.00 stuff, too. That's for a future swaplist, after I pare down some of the cheaper stuff.

lordmarcovan · December 8, 2003 11:51AM

TTT for the last time today- the list is now complete, for this week, at least.

lordmarcovan · December 9, 2003 12:08AM

Added some proof Lincolns, and there'll be some more Liteside proof singles later today, most likely. All of these were cut from the old cellophane proof sets, and are still inside the mint cello, but I put the cello inside a 2X2, so they're better protected than they would have been in a 2X2 alone.

How about some highlights Rob?

historygeek · December 10, 2003 3:17AM

Yeah, I am interested in the better stuff too.

lordmarcovan · December 10, 2003 4:41AM

I'll do another "regular" swaplist of the "better" stuff (most of which is still relatively inexpensive), as soon as I finish getting all my Liteside stuff at the mall taken care of. I'm frantically trying to get my new inventory in there in time for those later Christmas shoppers, and after that I will be pulling it all out for year-end inventory and switching to a new system.

Next year I should probably offer gift certificates for those Christmas shoppers. I've noticed quite a few wives shopping for their husbands' collections, and they don't know enough about coins to make an informed decision.

I do plan to bring all the $2.00-100.00 Darkside coins to the FUN show for swapping. There are far more of the former than the latter.

SSP: LordM's Sooper-Dooper $1 Sale (or 5/$4): list is now complete for this week but more may follow
