I have called this meeting to show you what was in yesterday's bags. I have a deal with my bank to give it all to me without running the bags through their counter. I ended up with a total of 17 foreign coins,some of which are pictured here. Good luck to all of you. Jim

Some very nice coins and things there. What is that tag for with the website on it?

Most excellent Jim !

My eyes can't gauge the 2mm difference. Is that a dime or half dime ? (mintmark ?)

Again, mucho kudos!

Narthoniel, it is for a puppy dog.
Thurm, I can't tell which it is.(I plead dumba$$) it is the size of a nickel if that helps any. Jim

the twoony and the $10 PESO give it some size perspective, 1842 seated quarter!?!?! way to go!!!!!

DrDetector · Sep 25, 2008

judging by the size relative to the Canada $2 coin I'd go with seated quarter. Any mintmark?

The token penny and the and seated quarter are obviously not foreign.

Grats on the quarter... I would GLADLY take one of those in exchange for getting hit with all the foreign trash.

I have never pulled anything that old. Anything I have from that old or before was given to me or bought...

To think... a silver washington is REALLY rare these days... and a SLQ is practically IMPOSSIBLE to get in the wild. And you got a seated... you lucky dawg.

You should see what I have invested in donuts,bagels,muffins,cookies and pizza. These 4 ladies aren't treated this well by their husbands. I even have them trained to bring the bags out to the lobby on a 2 wheeler when I come in. Jim

Anybody collect books of recipes made by the bank employees ?
