My Dad has come for a visit. Some Silver Came my way again.
My Dad has just arrived for a visit from South Africa. I haven't seen him, except over skype for almost 3 years!! This is going to be a nice time for us, because I've managed to be on leave for most of his time here.
The added bonus is he has brought my old coin collection, which I left behind when I moved to Australia.
It's not huge, about 700 grams of mixed coins from all over.
I quickly went digging and found a few nice little pieces, albeit a bit tarnished and in pretty average condition. I found this straight out of the bag.
That is a 1966 South African 1 Rand coin. 15 Grams of 80% Silver. Nice!! A bit tatty, but silver is silver!!
And then there's this 1955 2 Shillings... 11.3 grams of 50% silver.
I wonder what else I'll find in my coin bag.... I know there's a few 1800's oldies in there somewhere.
I hope you will show us the rest of your collection.
All in good time. It's quite a mixed bag. Some real junk in there too😂😂, but interesting nonetheless.
That R1 coins sure takes me back to my childhood. Very cool.
We used to buy a lot with those R1 coins back in the day... kinda wish I had more of them in my bag now.
That's great. Hope he has a fantastic stay.
Is it his first time here, or is he an expat?
Second time visiting us here. Last time he came was in 2010. Quite a bit has changed since then even. It nice to have him here. We'll be celebrating his 70th birthday while he's here too.
Nice. Hope he has a blast. 70 is the new 43 :)
Nothing like getting reacquainted with an old friend.......And were are not talking about your father. Nice SA collection, have a great time with your dad.
Thanks mate. Is was nice to rummage through the coins. It's quite a mix, so I'll have to sort through them one at a time to find what's silver and what's not.
I'll try to keep my Dad entertained and show him some fun times. It's good to have him here for a visit.
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
