20 kg of coins from all over the world

I've almost finished sorting a little over 20kg of coins I bought, over 50 countries and dates ranging roughly from 1930-2000, mostly in the early part of that range. Some in poor condition, a few in great condition.

Now the question is what do I do with it all? It's really too much to put it all in my collection on here, it'll take forever. But if anyone is looking to trade I'll be happy to have a look at what I could offer.

These are most of the countries from where I found coins:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Ceylon, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dutch Caribbean, East Germany (BRD), Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Gambia, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Macao, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Soviet, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, UK, USA, West Germany (DDR), Yugoslavia.

I'm interested in the Swiss coins, please send me a private message.

There are countries missing on that list, here are a few more: Greece, Libya, Morocco, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tunisia

What? lol
DDR I believe is Deutsche Democratische Republik while BRD is Bundesrepublik Deutschland. I wrote that to clarify what I meant. Not sure how Roosevelt ended up in this

edit: ooh i see what this was about now, did I mix up the two? =) Thank you for correcting me!

By the way maybe this should be moved to swaps? When I first wrote this I hadn't noticed that part of the forums yet.

Jamser89 I got your message and I'm interested in a trade, let me know if you're interested in particular coins or if your interest is with those countries in general.

To everyone else I'm sorry I use the forum to PM but numista apparently thinks I spam too much as I can't send more PM's today :-/

Yes, I must stress that you need to use the forum appropriately, send a message by PM. Not on here. If your "allowance is up", please don't use the forum for PMs.

Took a picture of all the silver that was among those coins and thought I might as well let you guys see what I found :)

Is that a Franklin half dollar in the left upper corner??

I really like those coins, can you list some for our swap?

Yup, 1963 no mint mark

Hello,

Are those silver coins available for either swap or for sale.

Regards

I was thinking to list all of them, which ones are you interested in?
I'm a little reluctant to put them all among trade coins because I already get a lot of trade offers to trade my silvers against modern plated steel.
I'm really only interested in silver coinage. I could also sell coins as I already buy way more coins than I can afford.

There is a lot of 2$50 escudos portuguese coins. Nice!

I'm interested in any pre 1950 silver coins of 80% silver or more.  send me a PM with what you have and maybe we can sort out a deal.  I've got a small handful of silver lying around.

20 kg of coins! Amazing!
You have a beautiful collection of silver coins.

Thank you! And though I too think 20kg is a lot of coins I heard of an auction here in Sweden where they were auctioning off a collection of 4000kg! That is impressive!

To the rest of you that have been contacting me this week, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I suffered a hard drive failure a few days back so I'm currently without a working pc.

I must ask, How did you find a batch of 20 kg with so much silver?  I hope you got a great deal, how much did you pay? You should not upload photos like that, it makes everyone have envy!

And how about the person who uploaded this coin?

It was pretty much a steal, I actually ended up paying a little extra once I realized my luck.
I think there were actually a lot more silver among the coins originally but because I asked the man for details on countries he discovered a lot of Swedish coins that he removed from the lot. Swedish coins contained silver up until 1961-1972 depending on denomination, so I potentially lost a lot of silver that way. He may also have taken out a large amount of Russian silvers. Either way I paid a lot less than their worth.
In case you guys are green with envy by now, I will add that I'm dirt poor and actually chose between the coins or a week of food.

 Thanks, but that does not help, I am very rich, but in the way of money, very poor like you, and I too would rather have a good deal on coins than eat.
