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

Great variety of world coins. Most I've never seen before

I had originally left a negative review because my item did not arrive, I did not hear from the seller and the order remained unshipped. HOWEVER, earlier this week, the seller reached out and apologized. They explained that they had left town for a family emergency and they must have forgotten to switch their account to away. I had already been issued a refund at this point, but the seller said they were going to send me the order regardless to make it right. They did end up arriving today. I appreciate that the seller reached out and went above and beyond with their resolution. The coins look great and they even threw in a couple of sets. I’m sure my son, who I am gifting them too, will be thrilled. Thank you again to the seller. For some reason, I was unable to reply to your message so I hope you see this review.

It appears that the item was tampered with. The bag that the coins were supposed to come in was ripped. I can't trust that I received all the coins I was supposed to get. Update: some coins are dated in the 40s. OK variety. Some repeats, but that's expected from bulk.

Received some unique coins like one from Yugoslavia. But also received a “Magic Penny” from a magic kit

Very good variety of countries & denominations-I recommend this seller

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Advertised as older and heavier coins. It was at least half Mexican and Euro coins. There was one coin from 1945 the rest were 1970’s and newer and mostly in the 2000’s. There were a few larger coins but definitely not as described. Probably less than 20 countries, pretty low for 2lbs. I did get a few types that were not already in my collection. I do realize world coin lots are pretty random but, this was probably worst variety I’ve seen in all that I’ve purchased. The bag also broke open in shipping. Overall, I’m going back to other sellers I’ve purchased from in the past.

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.

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.
