      @marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 maybe they shouldn't do that much auctioning because there is always the pressure and the emotional aspect and therefore you're sometimes in danger of spending to much money whereas a flea market offers you the opportunities to watch the objects more closely and negotiate for a more pleasant price 😏.

    Numismaticus is the box that a specialist collector would keep their treasure in (coins, money, tokens, or other valuable objects of the like). Don’t forget to check the box thoroughly for secret spots for the very valuable coins!
    This was an unexpected video- a bonus for us. 😅
    Happy Birthday, Alex! 🎉❤😊

    That Liberty Head nickel from 1884. The American coin is worth between $10-$200 in circulated condition. If it was in pristine condition it would be worth about $8,000. So look at alp those coins even tho they all appear to be in circulated condition still worth the effort. That box is amazing what a buy Alex

    The CCCP is (U)SSSR cyrillic, 5 Kopecks
    The German Kreuzer is not a token, the Kreuzer was 1/100th of a Guilder
    The later USSSR coin was 20 kopecks (one ruble = 100 kopecks). I remenber paying 2 Kopecks for a glass of tea on an 1982 TransSiib train. If you wanted sacchar (sugar) it was another 5 kopecks, IIRC.

    Great video ladies, keep them coming! The George III coin has been "holed" back in the day when it was in circulation; it was holed by a person who was in possession of it so a string could be ran through and worn around the neck or used to sew it into clothing so it wouldn't be lost. I think it tells a great story and humanizes it.

    Fun! The American coin is a 5 cent piece (has a "V" on it) called a Liberty nickel and might be worth $24 US dollars or more depending on condition and demand. made of 75% copper 25% nickel. Confusing to think they called it "a nickel", but then "a copper" is used for a cent or one penny. I would like to see more auction treasures too.

    The box is fantastic, as well as the collection. The British Museum stores many of its coins in such boxes. I saw a video on Anglo-Saxon coins where they were thus stored. Although many of the Victorian coins are worn, many are certainly collectible and may have scarce mint marks. Of course I would like to see some videos of auctions and estate sale finds.
