@daskleinegluck4553 Жыл бұрын

@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 maybe they shouldn't do that much auctioning because there is always the pressure and the emotional aspect and therefore you're sometimes in danger of spending to much money whereas a flea market offers you the opportunities to watch the objects more closely and negotiate for a more pleasant price 😏.

That Liberty Head nickel from 1884. The American coin is worth between $10-$200 in circulated condition. If it was in pristine condition it would be worth about $8,000. So look at alp those coins even tho they all appear to be in circulated condition still worth the effort. That box is amazing what a buy Alex

Great video ladies, keep them coming! The George III coin has been "holed" back in the day when it was in circulation; it was holed by a person who was in possession of it so a string could be ran through and worn around the neck or used to sew it into clothing so it wouldn't be lost. I think it tells a great story and humanizes it.

The CCCP is (U)SSSR cyrillic, 5 Kopecks The German Kreuzer is not a token, the Kreuzer was 1/100th of a Guilder The later USSSR coin was 20 kopecks (one ruble = 100 kopecks). I remenber paying 2 Kopecks for a glass of tea on an 1982 TransSiib train. If you wanted sacchar (sugar) it was another 5 kopecks, IIRC. That guter pfenn. means good penny (pfennig)

What a lively box . I am sure you'll put it to good use . The first coin you pulled out of the last drawer from 1837 was a Dutch guilder from Nederlands Indië nowadays known as Indonesia. The backstamp with the crown and shield was still used on the Dutch guilders that were made right up to when the Euro was introduced.

You did very well on that box! The coins are a bonus! The Copper pennies are amazing. 1860s are very good. Even worn, bring 10.00 USD. You could make pendants out of some of them. I found a huge lot of old British coins. I always think about all of the people's hands they have gone through, possibly some of my family held them. Being in the U.S. I also think of the journey that brought them into my hands.

I had a pretty impressive 19th/early 20th C hat and white cotton nightgown collection by the time I was ten! I hope you’ll do more auction larking videos and anything else you enjoy.

Confusing to think they called it "a nickel", but then "a copper" is used for a cent or one penny. I would like to see more auction treasures too.
