I'm glad you have this blog, as I love seeing all these foreign coins I've never seen before. I have had no change after besides Canadian cents.
I have had no change after besides Canadian cents.
At least you got those, I have found nothing. I'm starting to harass family members to look through their change.
Thanks for the kind words.
You're welcome.
I usually get at least one wheat penny every change find, but I have not found even a single wheat penny in the last couple of weeks.
Hi - I started coin collecting this year, at the age of (ahem+). I recently bot a batch of coins that contains one I can't find much info on. The one note I found says it's a "special date" and that it's a copper-nickel composition - but it doesn't look copper at all - looks more nickel-toned. Do you have any info on a Denmark 1947 10 ore coin that you could share? This one has a hole in the middle - I notice that some Danish coins have holes, and some don't. It also has the heart that seems to be a mintmark. CX R with a crown on the obverse, and 10 Ore with a circular curlicue design on the reverse.
I'm looking to value it of course, but I'd like to know why it's supposedly a "special date", and why it doesn't look copper. Thank you Thank you! Lynnette (I'll choose "anonymous" as my identity, so I don't have to figure out what the other choices mean - lol!)
Denmark 1947 10 ore coin
Copper-nickel always looks silver color because the nickel is stronger even at 75% copper and 25% nickel.
So that part is normal.
Yes the heart is the mintmark of Copenhagen.
1,292,000 were minted.
It's about $100.00 in fine.
The date is special because it was the last in the series and I think most were destroyed.
Wow - you are GOOD! Thank you so much! Lynnette
