Nice coins Susan, I really like the Art Deco eagle on the Bridgeport. However I do have one correction for your descriptions:

"1923 Hugeunot-Walloon Tercentenary, celebrating 300 years after the founding of the Netherlands"

Actually its 1924 and it celebrates the 300th anniversary of the founding of New-Netherlands AKA New York, NY.

Great collection, Susan!!I'm very, very impressed! Those halves looks for me extremely rare ones, but at least two Norwegian/Canadian Viking's Longboats I hope to catch once!! Norway have not so many shipcoins: but all of them have very neat design.

Thanks you once more for that great thread!! How many boats you have already in your Fleet?

Luvdawgs

Thank you so much for all of your very nice comments, everyone

I haven't counted my fleet yet, Shipcoin. I'm still working on getting my coins organized and stored in containers using silicon gel so they don't get
damaged!

Those Davis Strait dollars from Canada are one of my favorite designs
