    Hey guys.

    I finally ventured on over to the dark side.

    Since starting a Ships collection, Ive found that many of the pieces Id need were Darkside. So here is my first post over here.


    Thanks for your posts over one the Liteside. Lord thanks for the Link.

    Welcome Ahooka - You will be hooked over here - I see you have a good start on your collection; there are some great ship coins and medals from all over the world and at a price that is affordable.
    Here is a site of one of our board members - look under the Transportation heading and then ships - he usually has some neat ones.

    Thank you very much for the welcome.

    When I first thought of doing a collection of ships, I had no idea that there were so many.

    I think this will be a fun set to build.



    Thanks for the advice.

    welcome to the world of ship coins!!!

    just to get you started on a few coppers...

    South Africa - 1923 to 1960 1/2 penny and penny (proof and business strikes)
    England - 1923 to 1967 1/2 pence (proof and business strike)

    several of the Upper Canada tokens from the late 1800's also have ships on them.

    Silvers
    South Africa 1952 5 shillings (proof and business strikes)
    Canadian Dimes - not sure of the years but these are readily available in both proof and business strikes

    I'm sure that there are others, but these are the ones that fall within the areas that I am collecting or have knowledge of.

    Good luck!!
