I just finished going through another small lot. This one was a bit better than the last one. Well here are some useless stats. This appeared to have come from a collector. While nothing really rare, there were some better dates and varieties. The photo was not that great but I thought I saw a few interesting things so I took a chance. Included were quite a few 1800s, two large bronze medals (which are probably pretty common but neat too find none-the-less and you couldn't see them in the photo either). Nice lot. I guess I've got to start pulling out what I want to keep for my own collection and sell off the rest. These good lots sure are a lot of fun.
Total Coins: 306, includes 36 that are not yet identified (again Asian/Middle Eastern), saving those for a rainy day. Also includes 14 tokens which look common, but don't know anything about them.
