Newps: some Italian 20c pieces I picked up on the cheap

Been a while since I've found any of these in bulk lots.

Love those classical "Flying Nude" types.

This little 5-piece lot was on eBay, from Slovenia. The $10 shipping normally would've been a dealkiller,
but I was already buying more than a dozen Hungarian denars from the same seller and he combined
shipping, so averaged out, it wasn't an issue. The bid amount itself was next to nothing, so even after
shipping, I reckon I'm into these for less than a buck a coin, which is pretty good.

Neat coins, LM. Nice add. I hate seeing lots for $.99 start and then $10 shipping. Especially when they DON'T have anything else to buy and combine it with.

Those are cool Rob, I have always liked early 20th Century Italian

I like the 'flying nudes'. They are, I think, pure nickel, and I collect them for that reason, and they are really pretty.

Crazily enough I found one in a nickel roll search about 3-4 years ago - it is dated 1913. Was then the oldest foreign coin I had found roll searching, since dethroned by a 1907 dated Panamanian 2.5 centesimi that is the size of a nickel.

Very cool! The transition of styles from 1894 to 1910's is quite evident here.

Nice find! Funny, I too have found a Panamanian coin in a nickel roll, though not as old as that.
