khunsanuk Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Hi, Okay, pics are here: http://www.nanaplaza.com/coins1.jpg http://www.nanaplaza.com/coins2.jpg Quality isn't that great, but I guess you should be able to figure out which ones they are. BTW, I have 11 different ones. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted September 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Hi KS, good shots. From your 11 coins, we've got only 3, top left and 2nd row 2nd (common one) and last, the one with the camera. All others I've never seen before, but I've got 6 different ones here that you don't have, one with HM and Rama V, one with a sister of HM, one with HM (which is the most recent AFAIK), another one with HM and 2 different ones with HM and I think other kings. Very interesting, so looking at our combined collections, there's at least 17 coins out there. I'm sure there's a few more. Gotta keep attentive!! I'll see if I can make some pics tomorrow of mine.

khunsanuk Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi, Wow, at least another 6 I don't have. Had not expected there to be that many. Look forward to the pics. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted September 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi KS, I was surprised to see yours as well. Couldn't get the pix right, my webcam is not up for it, I'll try something else tho. The lightning didn't work for my small webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted September 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi KS, one of the coins with two figures on it is HM with Rama 3 and the other one is for the roads being here for 90 years, maybe HM with Rama 2 or 1, my wife is not sure. The last one I picked up is for 100 years of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway Dept Scout Jamboree Watchilla Hospital that's just what one dealer had for sale. Also found you some shops in Bkk CHAKRAPONG STAMPS Location: 1216 Charoen Krung Road Map grid: G-6 Mail: Chakraphong Stamps, 423 Charoen Krung Soi 43, Si Phraya, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand Hours: Monday-Saturday ........

Veerachai then opened a shop a short ways down Charoen Krung Soi 43, opposite the north end of the GPO. He has now moved back to the original shop. Veerachai has produced two of the finest Thai/English books on Thai coins and banknotes. He speaks excellent English. S.
