Bulk box finds

At the coin show I visited today two of my part time dealer friends has some new bulk lots. I spent about 1/2 hour looking through them and found among others:

GB 1901 3p Good

A bunch of Vicky pennies from 1863 to 1896

(2) early S. Vietnam coins

I don't usually find and silver in these types of lots so the 3p was very surprising.

I've gotten some neato stuff in the lots you've sent in the past. A lot of what I sold on eBay recently was the better cherrypicks from bulk lots, mostly from your source. Not much silver, but a few do sneak in.

This was the oldest coin in the last lot I got from you.

I was surprised to find it was silver when I looked it up, but it's only .192 fine, so no wonder it looked like a copper coin. I suppose it's technically billon.
