New to the Darkside? Three pretty coins to he/she who wants them

Found two pretty little Philippine ten centavos in my desk, along with a Swiss half franc.
I would like to send them to someone new to the joys of darkside collecting. I will mail them to the first newbie to express interest.

    Yes, they are pretty little things. They have some nice subtle toning going on.

    The centavos have poor strikes. But, from what I have seen for that year 1945--that seems to be the norm.

    You take fine pictures, coinpictures. BTW.

    Shouldn't the 1943 Philippine coins be called bi-side instead of darkside? image

    Wow! A new guy with 55,092 posts!

    You type quickly.

    I'm sorry son, looking back through our files, the firm of Clank, Eye, and Whizzy seem to have sent you a coin in the past. You are therefore disqualified from this particular offering.

    And as for you, mushroom fellow. These 1945 centavos were actually minted over yonder on foreign soil. They are dark as dark can be.

    I feel like Henny Youngman: "Take my coins... please."

    I'm new to the darkside. I currently have about a dozen foreign coins. I think I'm hooked.

    See this thread

    Then Sellsatan, PM me your address and I will put these in the mail for you.

    You could very easily get hooked on the Philippine coins. image

    Those are some lovely coins. The 1/2 Frank is awesome. I have a couple Philippine coins but nothing that nice.

    Excellent.

    Clankeye: Note the mintmark on the reverse of the 1945 Ten Centavos, it's Denver not Manila.

    Whoa! I thought that "D" stood for "Darkside."

    As usual, I am confused. I guess I could actually look at the coin, but that would be cheating.

    Well, Mr. Mushroom fellow, you are right. Bi-side it is.

    Ajaan, between the two of us we probably couldn't drive a car off a steep cliff.

    I guess I should have mentioned that the Manila mint was also a United States mint.
