WTB "junk box" coins from Peru, and Ireland

A friend is hosting a club meeting with a Peruvian theme for the month. This friend would like some Peruvian coins to hand out to the guests as party favors. As the subject line indicates, I am looking for low value coins that a person might find in a dealer's junk box. Moderns are fine. The theme also has to do with mountains, if there are any with mountains depicted. I want to buy 15 Peruvian Coins.

My second request is similar. I am looking for common Irish coins depicting the Harp. I would like to buy 30 Irish coins to hand out. Again, low cost, common junk box material is what I am looking for.

I am in California. PM please if you can gather these for me. It would be great if someone has both. I can do Paypal. Many thanks.

    I have three Irish coins and one Peruvian in my cases at my antique mall booth right now. They're not junkbox material but they're inexpensive. In addition to these I probably can come up with some, if not all, of the others you need from the several pounds of unsorted bulk material I still have lying around (which would be more what you're after, probably- cheap junkbox sort of stuff).

    These four are in flips with computer-printed labels. The text below is copied verbatim from the inserts. (I've finally gotten around to keeping a full list of my inventory on a keychain USB flash drive so I can access it while I'm away from home. I haven't gotten around to putting pictures of everything on this flash drive yet, though.)

    IRELAND: THREEPENCE
    1956
    Extremely Fine (EF40)
    Krause-Mishler # 12a
    Copper-nickel
    Reverse: Irish hare. Catalogs $2.00 EF (2004).
    $1.50

    IRELAND: SIXPENCE
    1964
    Brilliant Uncirculated (MS62)
    Krause-Mishler # 13a
    Copper-nickel
    Reverse: Irish wolfhound. Catalogs $3.00 UNC (2004)
    $2.00

    IRELAND: 1 SHILLING
    1959
    About Uncirculated (AU50)
    Krause-Mishler # 14a
    Copper-nickel
    Reverse:bull. Catalogs $35.00 UNC. Priced barely above EF40 price.
    $5.00

    PERU: 1 CENTAVO
    1960
    Brilliant Uncirculated (MS62)
    Krause-Mishler #227
    Zinc
    Catalogs $8.00 UNC (2004).
    One seldom sees zinc coins this nice and silvery-looking, like aluminum. They don't stay that way long.
    $4.00


    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    I also found 4 Irish that you can have for nothing if you want the others from Peru.

    Bob, thanks for the offers.

    Lord Marcovan says he will take a look through his boxes and will probably have enough coins to fill my needs. If not, I will definitely take you up on your offer and will pm you.

    The events are mid-to-late January, so there is time.

    Thanks.
