Some more cool stuff I got today

Sometimes, great coins can be found in the oddest of places. Take these for instance, I was told by our local anitque dealer that the man that runs the corner photo shop also delt in coins. So, the wife and went to check it out. Well, it turns out that this was not a photo shop at all, but and older man that sold odds and ends of things he's picked up over the years like war metals and.....coins. He pulls out this album full of all kinds of coins and let me look through it. I found these among other great coinsimage

    I find that Italian coin in bulk lots all the time. I have never seen such a nice one though. Now I know what they are supposed to look like.

  • These are cool imageimage

    Please post a pic of the skilling if you can. My oldest Swedish coin is a 1/4 Skilling from 1808 and the planchet is quite irregular. I assume that this was the norm rather than the exception back then.
