    well when I started my collection I had no silver world coins



    all of these coins were inexpensive to buy at the local coin shop and that helped when one had a limited budget to start a collection on

    That really is a wide ranging set. Think of the stories those coins could tell--being respectable bits of coin used by 'regular' people. Wouldn't it be cool to have a superpower where you could 'read' the history of inanimate objects? A group of coins like that and you'd never be bored! Neat grouping!

    Neat bunch of silver. I don't think I've ever seen that 1/4 gulden design before!

    Struck at the US Mint in Philadelphia. (Hence the "P" mintmark- probably one of the first times such a mintmark was used, since the "P" didn't appear on War nickels until the following year.)

    I really like the Netherlands indie. Since I started collecting chinese and japanese coins, I've built up a little side collection of asian coins from european countries. STraits Settlement, the German colonies, japanese occupation money, trade dollars, etc. It's been fun, and keeps me looking through foreign coin bins.

    I like the look of that first one (the German mark). I like that wholesome grey look on a circulated silver coin.

    other coins for the Netherlands / Netherlands Indies / Carribean dutch islands like Curacao were also struck in the US during WW2
    mintmarks D = Denver - P & S - on the leftside marked with a Palmtree for Indies & Carribean - some marked with an acorn (guilders) for the Netherlands
    orders were placed from London were the dutch queen Wilhelmina and her cabinet resided during WW2
