This is 5 pounds of a random mix of coins of the world. Coins will mostly be from the 1900s with a few 1800s and 2000s here and there. You might find the occasional silver coin, but not many. We try to keep out the tokens and junk coins, but we sometimes miss them. These lots typically contain 400-600 coins and are a great way to start a new world coin collection.
These lots are sold as is. Larger lots are available at discounted rates, please e-mail or call if interested.
