mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 2:51 pm Hi CollectionMaster, I tend to look out for unusual coins and silver coins if I can. I'm trying to build a collection of coins from all around the world. Report this Post to the Staff
mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 06:40 am Went a carboot sale this morning and picked up about 800 coins for £25, I got 7 silver coins and a bunch commerative Russian coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Hoxsie454 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 07:41 am mrv -- you really work the car boots! What fun, and nice, realistic buys for you. I was unfamiliar with the term 'car boot' and wondering, is that usually a single seller off the road side, or an organized multi-car boot event? Never saw such in the U.S. ! Thanks.

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 08:02 am Thanks Hoxsie454, they are multi car events, it is really a question of getting there early and making sure you find the right person. There are times when you get nothing but that's part of the fun. Report this Post to the Staff
mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 08:18 am I've been working in the west country this week and found a antique shop. They had a bunch of 243 coins for £20, I got a bunch of US commerative coins, 1927 silver half crown and 1955 Austrian silver 25 schilling in mint condition. Report this Post to the Staff

mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 1:12 pm I've had a massive score today, went to a carboot and brought over 600 coins for £30. I got 36 silver coins including a 1842 Half Dime, 1832 3 pence and a uncirculated 1787 six pence, will post pictures once I can get my phone working. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21593 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 7:36 pm If you have scored a truly uncirculated (British grading) 1787 sixpence, you have got lucky. That coin by itself would have justified the purchase of all 600. Report this Post to the Staff
mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 03:04 am Pictures of the six pence will post the other coins later, I think this is the no hearts variety. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21593 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 9:23 pm Not uncirculated. EF (cleaned) (British grading). Still, a very nice pick up. Report this Post to the Staff
mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 10/11/2019 3:02 pm Thanks sel_69l and jbuck for the replies I have attached a photo of the 36 silver coin I found. I will try to post better pictures. The best coins are 1787 six pence 1843 1.5 pence 1832 3 pence 1900 florin 1872 Half Dime sorry not a 1842 Half Dime 1936 10 Italian lira 1901 Indian rupee 1950 50 centesimi Somalia They are some wonderful non silver coins which I will post later. I did think that I would not better this score for a while... well I was working away this week in the midlands and found a old fashon junk shop, the owner had a box of coins and notes for sale, I paid £45 this is the most I've ever paid but I just had a good feeling about this. The coins from the junk shop, 54 silver coins in total including: 1922 Peace dollar 1927 Standing Liberty quarter 1906 dime 1835 gothic florin Worn George iii crown Worn Victoria half crown 1899 shilling 1885 shilling 1936 dime Edited by mrv 10/11/2019 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
