Coins from my collection 031-034
Hello again,
Continuing to do some more research on the various coins I have been collecting, I will be exhibiting them here, in this format once or twice a week.
The coins I currently have in my collection probably range in dates from the early 1800s to the end of the 1900s, and they consist mostly of Bronze and Silver pieces from around the world.
If you find this topic interesting, then please read on.
*keep in mind that most of my coin collections are passed down through my family (or found coins), I have just recently started adding purchased coins into the set.
so their values (for me) are mostly sentimental.
