Went to the auction Monday night and got a medievil 1653 Solidus (Shilling) from Swedish Livonia and Riga - a Dominion of the Swedish Empire from 1629 to1721. Queen Christina. Metal Billion-a low grade silver. Looks like crap untill you put a 16X loop to it then you can see all the detail. Gave $9.50. Then I got a Great Britain 1912 Half Penny F12 for $1.00. Next day at the coin shop I bought a Chineese Kwang-Shu Kuoping One Tael (Dragon Dollar). It is under weight and highly magnetic,that makes it a Counterfeit. They e-mailed me to take it back. I payed $28.00. Bummer!
I not only metal detect but am also a fairly serious coin collector and bill collector. Not set up for pics at the moment. Hope you enjoyed--Ron
