Another treasure hunter’s dream courtesy of eBay. The first came in the form of a golfing themed humidor stuffed with coins and tokens. These were first rate vintage coins, too- well, first rate for me! About a dozen or so half-penny coins from all over the British Empire were in just my first handful. In all, about 6 silver pieces and a super special 1973 date set from Greece. Along with about a dozen or so Chinese cash and bronze ‘dollar’ coins, a few German-Occupied Netherlands coins were mixed in with the bunch, too. A few Weimar Republic new year tokens turned up, and quite a handful of Nurnberg Classic Car show coins dated from 1960.
The second haul was a simple 1lb bag of mixed world coins. This was a big surprise. I found four Soviet 1 ruble commemorative coins in the mix. A Mexican date set was also in there from 1994- including the 2 and 5 new peso coins. A few older British coins and quite a few German-Occupied French coins were in the mix as well.
After about a week or so, I finally managed to find the time to start sorting through all of them, but it led to two whole weeks of coin therapy.
