love those pieces, got a few of the French and German issues, including the Oran (Algeria 10 centimes) £3.65, love these copper cobs. not seen many with the $ countermark, looks like 1659 date is upside down on the left. £4.
there were a few colonials wasnt the 1888 groat a colonial only issue? i find 1912H to be always better in grade then the other dates from around that period by a good margain.
Russian coins have been expencive for a few years now, I went to Bulgaria a few years before the boom, could pick up 50 kopecks, etc for a few pounds, even there they cost a lot now.
even more digging has found a 1954 10 franc as well as the 1905 25 centimes. some more recent ones I have only just uploaded the pictures for 1814 ИМ ПС 2 KOPEK £2.09.... bargain had this one slightly longer.
