Weekly Finds
Every week, my father and I go to different coin dealers for silver. While I am there, I go through the 20 cent world coin bins. I will use this blog to discuss some of my more recent scores from these places.

I purchased a lot more coins than this, I just listed the ones I thought were worth sharing.
Another thing I noticed that was different than other weeks is there were a lot of Denmark coins. I was surprised at the amount.
Out of all the coins I purchased, 45 different countries were tallied, the most I've ever got before.

Thank you everyone! I have a lot of fun sorting through the bins since I don't know what I'll find! It's the thrill of the hunt!
