At the beginning of April last year I decided I'd try to collect as many different silver coins as I can for free. I got them by picking coins out of bulk lots and then reselling the rest to get my money back, trading coins with other members from lots that I had already made my money back from, and buying a few coins from the profit from splitting up bulk lots.
I'm quite happy with the results. I collected over 130 coins of various ages, sizes, condition, silver content, and country. The coins have a combined silver weight of just over a kilogram and a book value of a couple of thousand dollars.
If you want to see what I've got, I've put pictures of them up on Flickr

Some nice coins in there to be proud of!
Just a little nitpick though; your Chinese junk dollar is dated 23, which is 1934 rather than 1933.

Very nice indeed, and I appreciate the fact that you post the obverse of a coin before the reverse.

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
Looking for pre 1783 coins
