I found this coin purse in the woods which contained 10 coins 7 of which are silver.

Swedish silver: 1872 25 öre
1883 50 öre
1907 2 kr
1919 10 öre
Danish silver: 1912 10 öre
1919 25 öre x 2

The purse hallmark reads: Kraft Alpacca Gelötet. Alpacca is a trade name for Nickel Silver, also called German Silver. So it's probably silver plated. ??? It was made sometime between 1900-1940

Thanks man. A compliment for sure to even be voted banner. This T-Net group is hard to impress. I was never expecting banner find but maybe a little more feed back on my best find ever.

Congrats on a really great find! Not only in worth but as a whole, and as a cool story...


PS: I think you not wanting to post still pics has been already out-debated, a pity though...
