I love silver, world stuff. Interesting stuff. Prefer crown sized! Chops/Counterstamps/Overstrikes and regular stuff.

Jfoot's offerings are, I must admit, a little bit more interesting, perhaps. But I do have over 3/4 of an ounce of silver in the first offering, and at what, fortyish an ounce, that's.... uh... that's... uhhh... math. (I'm not up to math at the moment.)
All of this for your $53.35, delivered:
Two halfcrowns- one's a beauty- plus another piece of (Greek) silver and a BU 1930s Wheatie...
PLUS one US proof set (date of your choice: 1984,'85, '86, or '89).
KM856, .500 silver/.2273 oz. Nice white UNC with cartwheel luster not seen in the picture. Gradewise, I personally would estimate it to be either a high-end MS63 or maybe even a more typical MS64. There are a few small marks so it's no MS65, but it's definitely one of the nicer 50% silver halfcrowns I've had.
KM85, .835 silver/.2013 oz. The obverse of this piece features a left-facing bust of Paul I and the reverse portrays Selene the moon goddess on horseback, riding over waves and dolphin. This is a typical circulated example and there's nothing really special about it, but it's silver, and the reverse design is kind of nice.
KM 8, .750 silver/.3409 oz. Well worn with an old stain or two, but not displeasing. For once I'll say my scans portray the coin accurately. 1928 was the inaugural year for modern Irish coinage under the post-independence Irish Free State. The obverse features the harp common to all Irish coins, and the reverse an Irish Hunter horse.
A nice Red Wheatie. This one has begun mellowing just a bit to the right of the portrait, but only the tiniest bit- it is by no means a RB coin- and is still a full Red by just about anyone's standards. I'd say it's still probably 98% Red. The luster is fine. I personally called this one MS 64 RD when I had it out at my antique mall booth, but let's just call it MS63 RD to be safe.
OR... Take your pick of either ONE of these two coins...
PLUS one US proof set (date of your choice: 1984,'85, '86, or '89).
Has that nice goldish "liquid" luster which is frequently seen on these later-date pieces.
A handsome original coin with that "nice-dirty" look and no distractions.
