Foreign Silver (with pics)

[phrostie]

All,

Today was a good day. I rarely get out and coin shoot anymore, usually just stick to the boxes. Well, wanting to get out today, I called a few of my banks with coin machines. Nobody dumps at these, my last bags in OCT / NOV were very good. Well one had a full one, which surprised me, so off I went to pick it up.

No American Silvers but did get two AWESOME finds. One 1915 India One Rupee and a 1936 5 Reichsmark (No Swastika). Both are silver. It's amazing to think the hands these passed through, especially the Reichsmark. How did it get to the United States Was it from a Jewish Imigrant? What about German post war? Or better yet an American GI? I like the last, from one GI to another!

Happy Hunting all, enjoy my the pics my wife's about to post.

Does this mean laundry room upstairs?

 

[phrostie]

mrs. phrostie, yes we are doing a laundry room upstairs. No these coins will not be sold, they are a part of world history.

Are you raising glasses to me? If so is yours water?

HSH,
