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.

THE SUPER LOT - 1000 DIFFERENT WORLD COINS BEFORE 1979

WOW! What a deal! 1000 different world coins, all dated before 1979! Nice mix of both circulated and Uncirculated coins, including some 19th century issues and many scarce issues and locations which are hard to find today. These lots were assembled by a dealer over 40 years ago and have sat in storage ever since. We offered these a few years ago and completely sold out, however our supplier recently found a few more sets in their warehouse.  It would be difficult and expensive to try to recreate the lot today (which is probably why you don't see offers for 1000 different coins).  It will provide hours of enjoyment sorting and cataloging the wide variety of world coins. This 1000 different coin lot is great for starting or expanding a collection or for dealer's stock, and is a wonderful way to introduce kids to collecting world coins.

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.

GERMANY INFLATION NOTGELD NOTES  

By the summer of 1923 inflation roared totally out of control in Germany.  The federal government couldn't print money fast enough, so municipalities and companies printed their own money to pay workers and buy supplies. Of course, only increased the money supply making inflation even worse. These notes are known as inflation notgeld (emgergency money).   In most cases the notes would only be accepted in the communities they were issued, and then, sometimes only reluctantly.   The notes clearly demonstrate what happens when governments print too much money to cover their expenses.
 We offer selections of this inflation notgeld.  Most are denominated between 100,000 Mark and 100 Milliarden (100 billion) Mark and most date between July and November 1923.   Most are full sized notes.  Some have attractive designs, others have simple designs and are printed on one side only reflecting the rush to produce the notes.   Every lot is different, though there may be some duplication between lots.

SET OF 9 GERMAN INFLATION ERA NOTES: 1 MARK - 2 MILION MARK 1920-1923 

This set of nine banknotes issued by the German government vividly illustrates the 1920-1923 hyperinflation.  This set includes the 1 and 2 Mark dated March 1, 1920. The notes were needed because all silver 1 Mark coins had disappeared from circulation.  The large-size (162 x 108mm) 100 Mark note is dated November 1, 1920 and depicts the head of the Bamberg Horseman.  It was worth about $1.50 when first issued.  Also included is the 500 Mark dated July 7, 1922;  1000 Mark dated September 15, 1922; 5000 Mark dated December 2, 1922 and 20,000 Mark dated February 20, 1923. The magnificent, large 100,000 Mark is dated February 1, 1923, features a cut from Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait "The Merchant Georg Gisze".  The last note in the collection is the 2 Million Mark note dated August 9, 1923.  It was worth less than a dollar when introduced and would be virtually worthless in less than a month.
The notes grade Fine to Almost Uncirculated.  It is an impressive and historic collection showing what happens when government spending gets out of control.

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.
