Irish silver and a few other choice buys
So i bought yet another collection of coins yesterday and i could see it had already been picked clean of the best stuff but with anything there is always a few diamonds in the rough.
I will start off with the 1940 Irish scilling which is 5.66g of 0.750 silver, it features the irish harp and a bull. The coin itself is a little worn but still in a collectable grade and has a mintage of 580k.
Next up is an 1895 South african shilling. The coin is made from sterling silver and has a mintage of 326k but this coin has been drilled by a moron. The coin features a portrait of Paulus Kruger and the date within a wreath.
Next up is a Canadian one penny bank token from 1837 and it is from the bank of montreal which is written in the banner above the date, the other side of the coin features a Canadian standing in winter clothing. Unfortunatly this coin has been drilled aswell by another coin savage.
Last up is an 1875 40 reis coin from Brazil, it is in fine condition and features a portrait of Pedro II and the coat of arms, the coin has a mintage of 1.2million
please upvote and keep the steem platform flowing and remember the bulls will run again
What a beautiful Canadian penny!
I will dig out the half penny at some point what still has mint lustre on it

Nice pickups, but a shame about the holes. I love those old Irish coins. The lyre/animal coins are one of my favorite government issued series.
They originally where going to go with religious icons but decided against as they where afraid people would use them as jewellery and not as coins, so they decided to go with animals
These look awesome @gdwcoins! I think I am finding several that I am putting on my next to get list. Haha!
I look forward to seeing when you get them
