Happy Valentine's Day! (1972 Denmark 25 Ore!)


This coin is one of many perfect coins for your Valentine! Why? Because of the heart on the bottom of the reverse! All right I'm a day late or a year early depending on how you look at it but either way a Valentine-themed post has no relevance now. I like the hole through the middle but I don't know who would wear a necklace made of these (that is why governments do that, right?).  It's worth a nice $0.25 in this condition which probably will not impress your Valentine at all.

1950 Danmark 10 Ore!


I just love Denmark coins. I don't know whether it's because of the little hearts they put on them or the fact that the letter "R" used to rule the country. In all seriousness this coin is one of three Denmark coins I own and it is the oldest. I got it back in the days when I was obsessed with getting all of the non-silver pre-'64 dimes and quarters of the world I could find. Now that that phase has gone I seem to be somewhat into KGV stuff but that's a post for another day! This coin is worth about $0.10 for the gunky reverse. If it were in a bit better condition it would be worth $6.75.
