The season is over in SW PA so now its time to find coins for sale instead of in the ground. Picked these up for 20 bucks. Pretty beat but still a good find I think. I can put them up at a flea market for 5 each and someone will buy a few.

very nice score for the money . :icon_thumleft: decide you want to get rid of any let me know .
 
Top left is the coolest one I think its a 1794 ERSKINE & GIBBS BARRISTERS, HALFPENNY
Top Middle is a Rose Farthing of Charles I 1625-1644
Top Right GREAT BRITAIN FARTHING 1799
Row under that, Well I'm just not sure other that the far right is a 1694 Hibernia Halfpenny
Bottom middle row is a new york dutch 1737
all others I'm not sure just yet
 
Middle row middle and bottom right India coppers 1806 and ?
Middle row far right NETHERLANDS HOLLAND 1 cent date unknown
 
You stole those for $20 greenbacks :laughing7:
 
What do you guys think one should have paid for this? I'm meeting him again on monday he said he has more. I've been collecting and detecting for 23 years now and I dont know to much about non american coins. I just liked them.
 
That looks like a Reale in the lower left,I would have gave $20 just for it!
 
the thing with the v 1723 is a east india trade coin. willy
 
That is a beautiful grouping of old coppers! You got one heck of a deal. Go to a library and get peruse the Krauss World Coin Catalog for the values. :)

Bottom left is a 1827 2 MARAVEDIES might be worth a few bucks looking into it more

I do believe its a New York Penny DUTCH. Its all over ebay,and to tell you the truth its the only reason I bought the coins. I always wanted one. Not sure way there not very nice to look at.

Top Right GREAT BRITAIN FARTHING 1799 - nearly its a Halfpenny

In answer to the question it was a good buy, they look a little over cleaned in the past but good gap fillers.
 
Fantastic finds for just $20, no matter what they turn out to be. I certainly would have paid $20 for them any day of the week!
