Bill,
Most of the coins of the East Africa & Uganda Protectorates are not common.

As for East Africa's 1920 coinage,that is actually a very scarce (& underpriced!) series.

The 1920 50 Cents is one of the rarest coins in the series.

Aidan.

I am still missing several of the pre 1920's... some of the ones I am missing are within my price range (value) yet I can't find them...

I am interested to see what you have... are you a collector of east africa or would you be interested in trading? I have lots of trader coins.

I have the George V 1936... Do you have any traders from my list? What does your trade list look like? I can send you mine...

Hi Bill !

I have the 5 Cents 1919 and 10 Cents 1910 that you require but I don't usually keep spares so I'll have to check. If I don't have extras I'll source them from here in India in a little while don't worry. I also have the 50 Cents 1919 but it is quite scarce and expensive so obviously I don't have a spare there !

I also need a 1 Shilling 1945 if you have an extra.

Thanks,
