ODDITIES

OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE DISCOVERED A COIN CALLED A "CONDOR"---IT SEEMS IT WAS CREATED TO FILL A GAP IN THE MONATARY SYSTEM OF GREAT BRITAIN--I HAVE PICKED UP SOME ON EBAY AND AT OUR SPRING STATE SHOW--AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THESE AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS WITH YOU...FIRST IS THE "DRUID CONDOR COIN"  THERE ARE 4 OF THEM--2 PUT OUT BY A COPPER MINE IN WALES AND 2 FROM IRELAND---THERE IS PRINT ON THE EDGE BUT I CAN SEEM TO SCAN IT CLEARLY......

THE NEXT IS AN ELONGATED PENNY GIVEN OUT AT THE STATE SHOW

THE LAST SET IS 3 COINS BOUGHT AT MY CLUBS AUCTION FOR THE SILVER--ONE IS A SERBIAN 1904------ONE IS A 1860 FLORIN ----AND ONE IS A 189O COIN WITH .6728 SILVER CONTENTS---

NIGHTHAWK HAS HELPED ME OUT AT SOME OF THE SHOWS---HE HAS A KEEN SENSE OF WHAT AND WHERE TO LOOK FOR CERTAIN COINS AND  ITEMS..........HE GOT ME HOOKED ON SOME TYPES OF FOREIGN COINS ESPECIALLY.......IT HELPS TO GO TO A SHOW WITH A FRIEND--YOU CAN SPLIT UP AND AS YOU EACH SEE THINGS YOU MEET AND TELL THE OTHER GUY WHAT YOU SAW AND THAT EXTRA PAIR OF EYES HELPS YOU LOCATE THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED---HOWEVER---YOU DON'T WANT TO DEPEND TOO MUCH ON A PARDNER AS HE MIGHT PICK OUT THE BEST BEFORE HE DIRECTS YOU TO THE FIND------NIGHTHAWK HAS DONE THAT TO ME ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS-----BUT I AM SURE HE DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE
GOOD HUNTING..........

Very nice.
Joe, you being a Druid, those Druid Condors should feel at home in your collection.
