Silvery goodness

So I bought a bag full of coins on eBay for $25 dollars.  Here were the goodies I got :)
Netherlands:
10 Cents - 1944
25 Cents - 1944
2 1/2 Gulden - 1930

United Kingdom:
3 Pence - 1917
3 Pence - 1940
1 Shilling - 1940
2 Shillings - 1939
2 Shillings - 1944

Venezuela:
1/4 Bolivar - 1936

Canada:
25 Cents - 1911
25 Cents - 1968

Vatican City:
Pope John Paul II Medallion




Also got about a dozen zinc coins and 40 or so other misc. coins.  So, think I got a good deal  

Lucky.  

Most of it is pretty run-of-the-mill, but that Netherlands guilden is a good find. Certainly you got a good deal. Especially with the zinc stuff too. Can you put up a pic of the zinc?

But what's up with that John Paul medal?? The portrait looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old.

Compare it to one of the portraits of a Vatican city coin

Lucky you! If the Canadian 1911 is an F, it's worth what you paid.

The Netherlands 2 1/2 Gulden and the Canadian 1911 25 Cent were what drew me in.  Those two alone pay for the lot.  Everything else is just bonus.

I'm torn between a grade of G and F on the 1911.  Quite a few small details are there, but all of the high points are worn.  But even at VG8, ngccoin prices it out at $18!
And at spot, the 2 1/2 Gulden is worth $14.
The seller obviously had no clue what they had.  Sucks for them, yea for me :p

The Canadian quarter at the bottom is not silver...  

Depends if it's this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3863.html
or this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces366.html

What is the difference by the way? Besides the weight.

One has a nickel-metallic color, the other a white color. The quarter in the image is nickel-metallic.

I honestly wasn't entirely sure on that one.  I really do have to get me a scale one of these days.

You don't need to, I'm almost completely sure the coin is not silver.

A scale is still handy to have though.  I need to get one myself one of these days.  I baulk at shelling out $75 for one when that's good money I could be spending on coins.

You got me wondering about the price of scales, so I just did a quick Amazon search: And this is what I found.

Hmm, looks like I'll have to buy foreign rather than kiwi-made, that's a whole lot cheaper than over here.

Netherlands 1944 P or D? That would be an amazing find!

I got exactly the same one on eBay last year. Was about $1 cheaper. There is more.

They are both P.  Absolutely beautiful condition.

What were the other 40 random coins?

Very nice glorkar! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit jealous....good snag!

Цитата: redsmithstudiosWhat were the other 40 random coins?

Mostly commons.  Couldn't tell you for the life of me what they were any more.  They've already been sorted and slid into the collection :)
