Hunk o'Copper

I like large copper coins, even if I do not collect much of them. I especially like those large ores from Sweden. Christina Alexandra.

    I've always liked those big chunky ones, too. And for really big Swedish copper, I had a piece of plate money once.

    Agreed. Despite the corrosion there is something quite appealing about this coin. I can almost feel the mists of history clearing to reveal a marketplace and the people who once used it.

    And Christina herself was certainly very interesting.

    Neat stuff!

    I have a Christina ore myself and well the plate money is a specialty of mine.
