A few Canadian coins, nothing spectacular and a UK 2 pence. I understand the Canadian coins, but a 2 pence??

Citação: pnightingaleHaha, that 2 pence is pretty odd. Up here you won't find a lot of not-eurocoins.

That's a cracking deal, neilithic, and I just had a look at your Fiji collection - wow, that's a lovely set of coins. I particularly like the Edward VIII Penny since it is so unusual - not only because anything with Edward VIII on it is quite scarce but also because pennies are usually Copper or Bronze, not Copper-Nickel. It's too bad you don't swap, I'd love to trade a few of your doubles

I don't know what it is worth, but it has to be a real bargain as I got it today in change; so £0.02 for a 2011 UK 2 pence coin with 80 degree error alignment is not bad! Not quite 90 degrees I think, and it is still shiny as well. I had to compare to a normal coin to work out how the reverse design should be when vertical; as it is the part of the shield design series. In the mirror image below I arranged the coin so that the reverse is the correct way up, thus making it so the mis-aligned obverse can be better seen.

I picked up a standing liberty quarter and an Edward VII canadian quarter basically for free. I got a small lot of worn silver coins for NZ$17 (about 8 british pounds or US$12) it had a decent copy of a standing liberty quarter from 1920 and a 1911 canadian quarter, the rest were almost worn smooth, there were 2 Victorian UK threepences, 2 Victorian UK sixpences, 2 victorian UK shillings and 1 australian threepence, I sold them for 75% of the silver value (NZ$17) and kept the nice standing liberty and canadian quarters....yay me!!
