 Hello Bloggers and Readers! Here's an exciting post on some more coins that were picked up in my huge coin hoarding quest! I haven't found much lately in terms of freebies, nor have I been able to purchase any coins, but since I still have about 200 more coins to post about, I will leave you with these 14 coins that I found to be quite interesting.  

The first three coins are the ones that I find interesting.  They are old and only cost be 4 cents each, actually, every coin depicted here only cost me 4 cents a piece, but cost aside, these are quite old.  The first coin, the 1/2 cent, I found buried at the bottom of the dealers bin.  It was at the very very bottom and was neglected, so I bought it and gave it a home.  It has some damage on it, but even so, it's worth about 50 cents.  Many of the zinc coins are in pretty descent condition and therefore, fetch a far better price at around $3 each for the 10 and 25 cent pieces.  Here's another example of a Dutch WWII 10 Cent piece from my fellow bloggers website if you're interested http://mycoinbox.blogspot.ca/2012/09/1942-netherlands-10-cents.html 

It's a shame that these coins are now extinct and not in use anymore due to the introduction of the Euro Monetary system.  You can't even exchange the former coins anymore as that window of opportunity has now passed! Who knows though, maybe the Euro will collapse and they will reintroduce these coins again! FINGERS CROSSED!
