2lb CIRCULATED WORLD FORIEGN COINS,HEAVIER,LARGER,OLDER,A MIX OF OLD AND NEW!World coin collection set.NO TOKENS.

The package came earlier than expected. While there were several duplicates of some coins (lots of euros and pesos), I received a good variety of coins from every continent. Most are from the 1980's to the 2010's, but I found one Dutchlund pfennig from 1950 and another coin, a frank, from 1941. I also found a coin from 1830. I have no idea where it's from. I have to do some research on that one.

Nice variety of beautiful coins from around the world!

I received the package promptly, and I was excited to dig through them all. The coins were put all into one ziplock bag and then inside of the bubbled envelope. There were many coins that I had never seen before, and that was why I gave 4 stars.On the flip side, the coins of only three countries dominated the contents. Many of the same exact coins from the same countries were also minted in the same year. I don’t know how the company that fills these orders, but it doesn’t appear to be at random. For instance, there were about 60 coins that were from Aruba, and out of those 60, there was an even distribution between the 5, 10, and 25 cents denominations. There was some Japanese coinage that made up about 1/3 of the weight of the package, and they were the all exact same coin.There is no guarantee about finding no duplicates though, so I will not blame them. I received exactly what I ordered. It was still worth what I paid for, despite all of the duplication, because the hunting is half of the fun.

I'll start with the cons and for some people they may not be cons at all. The oldest coins I received were 1950 from Germany, but out of the 11 coins I got from Germany, 7 were all 1950 1 Pfennigs. There were a lot of duplicates in this batch and I got 28 Euros, which Euros don't bother me that much, but half of them were also duplicates. A lot of coins from Canada and Mexico.Pros: I received coins from 3 countries I never had before. I'm up to having coins from 164 countries, past and present, so it does get harder and harder to get coins from countries I never had before. Another pro is a lot of countries I only have 5 or less coins from there and this batch helped grow and add different dates and/or denominations. I will list what countries I got and the amount of coins from each country to give a new buyer an idea what they will get.Mexico-45, Euros-28, Britain-24, Canada-24, Germany-11, Bahamas-6, China-6, Phillipines-6, Trinidad & Tobago-6, Australia-5, Jamaica-5, Japan-5, Thailand-5, Ukraine-5, France-4, Poland-4, Iran-3, Ireland-3, New Zealand-3, Peru-3, Russia-3, Singapore-3, Spain-3.There were 2 coins from each these countries: Columbia, Denmark, Hong Kong, India, Italy, South Korea and Venezuala.There was 1 coin from each these countries: Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Burma (Myanmar), Cayman Islands, Croatia, Czechoslavakia, Domican Republic, East Carribean States, Ethiopia, Greece, Guatamala, Haiti, Hondurus, Hungary, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Macau, Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emerites, Uraguay and Yugoslavia.Even though there could definitely be an improvement with having so many duplicates, there are still a diverse range of other countries within the lot.

What a fun way to spend the day. I'm a coin collector and bought this as a giveaway along with filling in some gaps in my own collection. There were some duplicates but many more coins which I did not already have. I liked that it had a mix of new coins along with some older ones. I was also surprised with two coins which were silver. It took me all day to go through and categorize them, and that is what makes it a good buy in my book. I seriously agree that this would make a great gift for a child interested in collecting or even a moderate collector.

This two pounds of mixed world coins consisted of 90% Malaysian coins and 5% Japanese coins, with the remaining 5% being from mixed countries. The was one of the worst assortment of world coins that I have ever purchased. I have made this purchase before and had a good assortment of coins from around the world but this timed i was more than very disappointed.

I bought this set for a 12 year old boy who recently acquired an interest in metal detecting and coins. While it's important that the packet contain coins and not round metal things, the price for the quantity tells me 3 things: 1) this is a low-labor thing, no one hand-selected each coin for a proper mix and vetting whether it really is, say, a Russian coin and not a Russian meter token; 2) it's going to be heavy on smaller denominations, 3) there will be duplicates, because see 1).Some are very worn. Countries represented include Australia, England, Germany, Dominican Republic, and some far East country, I would say China or Japan but we can't tell. Many more countries too. Two of the coins are commemoratives; but they're the largest coins in the bunch, faux gold, and in very good shape, so all in all were a nice addition.As the other reviewer said, it wouldn't be my cup of tea, but after opening the present the boy spent over 3 hours studying and sorting the coins, replying 'maybe later' when I offered him a brownie and milk. To me, that means he liked it, and that's the goal.If you're buying this because you're hoping to find a coin you can sell to recoup the purchase price, it's the wrong reason. If you're buying because kids like a puzzle, will look up all the different countries on a map, and you want to support a new interest in coin collecting with something more spectactular than 3 lonely pennies costing $50, then this is beyond their wildest dreams.
