WORLD CROWN LOT 

Collectors around the world love copper-nickel crown sized (37-42mm) coins.  They a big and attractive.   I recently purchased a dealer's stock that included many of these popular coins - far too many to list individually. Most are commemorative issues.  I made up lots of 20 different Uncirculated world crowns - without any British crowns. Many of these originally sold for $10 to $16 each, but I have too many so I am letting them go for far less.  Each lot is different though there will be some duplication between lots.

WELL MIXED WORLD COINS BY THE POUND

These Pound lots include a wide assortment of coins from all over the world. The coins come from collections we purchase, leftovers from other dealers stock, foreign coins found in parking meters, bus fare boxes, and other sources. As coins come in they are poured into a large bucket on the kitchen floor (that Lila would love to get rid of). There are usually about 100 or so coins to the pound, depending on the mix. Most coins are circulated. These lots are as unsorted. As the orders come in the coins are scooped up, weighed and bagged. Each pound contains coins from many different nations. These lots provide hours of fun for both kids and adults. These make great gifts, good educational projects to help children learn about other nations, or are just having fun of sorting through a pile of world coins.

OLD CHINESE CASH COINS   

These old Chinese cash coins are remarkibly inexpensive considering many are over 1000 years old!.  Most are from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127AD), along with possibly a few from the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD)  or other dynasties. These are getting increasingly hard to obtain because of the idiotic policies by our government.  The U.S. government considers Chinese cash coins to be a rare cultural item and are thus illegal to import, even though they are available by the millions and are sold legally and openly in China.  We purchased a group that were imported many years ago.   To assist you in identifying the coins we have an identification booklet "OLD COINS OF CHINA" by Holgar Jorgensen listed below.   Multiple lots are available and every lot is different.

ARMY AND AIR FORCE EXCHANGE (AAFES) POG "COINS"

The Army and Air Force Exchange Services, commonly known as AAFES or just the Exchange, provides goods, services and fast food to members of the United States armed forces and their families throughout the world.  Prices are often lower than those found in nearby communities and most of the profits go to support the military's Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs.   Because of the cost and difficulty in supplying coins to bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East the AAFES produced these POG coins.  They are issued in the denominations of 5 cents, 10 cents and 25 cents and are printed on thin colorful 40mm plastic discs.  To avoid legal difficulties against issuing currency, the POGs are labeled as "Gift Certificates". The obverse has the denomination and the words "AAFES GIFT CERTIFICATE".   The POGS are issued in series, with a dozen or more reverse designs issued for each denomination for each series.   Since about 2003 each series has been dated.   Though they are only issued at forward bases, they may be redeemed at any AAFES facility. The POGS are listed in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, Specialized Issues. They are a fascinating but little known military currency collectible.
