We had a small local show last weekend and I picked up the following. Don't normally buy Canadian, but I just couldn't pass up this one:

Also, had to pick up a couple of coppers for the African type set:

East Africa - 1 penny (blazing luster that you cannot get with a camera)

Tanzania - 5 Senti

I picked up a couple of others, but I haven't had a chance to image them yet.

    Just couldn't pass up the quarter - intense yellows and greens on the obverse and dark purples and blue on the reverse!!! The picture really doesn't do this coin justice. And both of the coppers have very intense purples and magentas on all of the devices. I think the East AFrica would go at least 65 at an of the grading companies!

    For a small show, I thought these were pretty nice finds.

    I used to get one of the big Shillingi Tano (5-shilling) pieces for my weekly allowance as a kid.
