This afternoon my wife hands me a paper bag and said, " I got you a gift and I know you'll like it". Well I peeked into the bag to find a 2 pound bag of un-searched world coins. She had a doctor's appt. and was a little early so she went into this small shop, which had a little of everything, to kill some time. As she was poking around she came across this bag of coins. I have so far separated them by countries. Some of the countries are Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, England, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands to name a few. There are some nice specimens in the lot. The dates range from the 30’s to the 80’s. Yes, they are circulated but for the most part they are not all chewed up. Anyway, it will be fun to go through them and see what’s here. Cool gift huh?

    Sounds like you have a real "keeper", there. image

    Maybe there'll be a "keeper" or two in the bag, as well!
