all canadian nickels are made of nickel until recently, usa is usually coppernickel for the nickels i thought...even as far back as the buffalo and liberty nickel....
South Africa is even more poorly policed and governed than the rest of the ye olde Anglospheer, almost makes you Yanks look civiilised !!TEE HEE!!, Bless!!
The range of coins that you get in Amerikay at these prices,!!! Utterly astounds me!! The high grade, but common late Brit Empire/Commonwealth coins that you quite regularly find are worth $5-$15 each in Australia, NZ, or Britain!!!!! Great work buddy!!

Can I ask you a question? I have the same 8 real you have but mine is 1861, but everything checks out to ms except that the A in republica on the reverse is small not reaching the height of the Ca <--- kinda like how that looks but the A is capital. Does this happen in these coins or would that be of concern?
You might need to find an expert who specializes in this. Very easily could be a variation from another mint die, but you can't rule out it being a fake.
Thanks for sharing your Mexican coins with us. I have two vintage Whitman Album 1905 to 1960 or so. One is high grade , AU 50 or better, and completely full. Also have a low grade set, almost complete. Also have a gold type set from 1905 on. Mexican coins have been around since the 1500’s. So much History is so exciting. Have lots more too !😊
maybe that Straits Settlement coin was found detecting...though...it doesn't look like it was in the ground......as someone who has detected a lot of coins..you get really funky patinas when they are in the ground...usually not good....if that is just loose dirt....I think running it under the sink doesn't really count as "cleaning".....
the Czech coin with the weird toning/contrast...that looks like it was in the ground a little while..but someone found it and it went back into circulation for awhile....so the wear on the high points from circulation ...gives it that interesting look....but that's just a guess....
Nice coins to start with 😂 but Brisbane is pronounced bris-bin. The commonwealth games are hosted by countries that are in the commonwealth of nations, and those countries compete in it, the last one was in 2022 and that was hosted in Birmingham, and the next one is in 2026 the country selection is actually still underway Victoria was meant to host but they withdrew
