Vintage Savin Rock Postcard (West Haven, CT)

I just wanted to post this picture here as I recently sold a wonderful collection of postcards for someone and it included this card. While I was a kid when Savin Rock Park was being torn down I have seen how nice it was from the many postcards I have sold showing the park. The one in this blog post was one I had not seen before, and is a natural picture maybe even before the amusement park part was built! Enjoy!

Selling the Odd Coins - ECUs what are they?

Well I am far from an expert in coins, especially worldwide coins. However no matter what type of coin you have or find you might see they do fairly well on Ebay. As I have stated before, many times when researching items you learn about things you never new before. I had never heard of a place called the ISLE OF WIGHT. As it turns out its an island off of the UK, the Beatles played there years ago. In any case they had a tourist shop and before the EURO was developed there were coins called ECUs. These were sort of a pre-euro currency "european currency units". The tourist shop on the ISLE OF WIGHT has some of their own for use on the Island mainly . When the shop closed the contents were sold on Ebay, I was up late one evening and grabbed a lot of really wonderful items including these coins you see pictured. I sold off many of the coins and just received an inquiry for the rest of the lot from someone in Germany today. So do not forget to look into coins for sale on Ebay!
