Cherry Picking the world...

2 posts
I thought it might be interesting to share our cherrypicking stories...the Oklahoma Numismatic Association with the sponsorship of the Oklahoma City Coin Club just finished the annual show in Oklahoma City. Lots of world coinage and notes. One dealer had an album of Danish coins. I looked and found a 10 ore of 1941 with no heart! I don't know if so gotta bargain or not...but I now have Faroe Islands represented in my collection... I also got a silver New Zealand dollar of 1990 not in the catalog yet...great cherry picking.

I was looking through a dealer's under €10 bin when I came across a 1846 billon 10 Centimes from French Guyana:

It was quite worn on the reverse, but the obverse was perfectly readable. I ended up paying just €7,50 for it, a great price for this type, according to similarly-conditioned pieces on Ebay:
