Hey there, coin collectors! Stanley here, reporting back from my latest time-travel adventure to Ukraine in 1935. Let me tell you, it was a wild ride!
First off, let me set the scene. When I arrived, I found myself in a rural area surrounded by fields of wheat and corn. The sun was shining, but there was a chill in the air that reminded me winter was just around the corner. The buildings around me were mostly small wooden houses, but there were a few larger brick buildings on the horizon.
Now, I have to admit, I was a little disoriented at first. I had no idea where in Ukraine I was or how to get to where I needed to be. But I’m a resourceful guy, so I started asking around. I quickly learned that I was in a small town called Lutsk, which was a fair distance from the larger city of Lviv, where I hoped to find some valuable coins for my collection.

But I wasn’t deterred. I had a plan, and it involved selling something from my pocket to the locals in exchange for coins. I had brought a few old pocket watches with me, and I figured they might fetch a decent price. I walked around town, offering them to anyone who looked like they might be interested.
It wasn’t easy at first, but eventually, I found a taker. A kindly old woman named Olga had a soft spot for shiny things, and she gave me a few coins for one of the watches. They weren’t the rarest coins I’ve ever seen, but they were still valuable additions to my collection.

Over the next few days, I continued my search for valuable coins, and my persistence paid off. I met a man named Ivan who had some old coins tucked away in his attic, and he was willing to part with them in exchange for a few more of my pocket watches. I was happy to make the trade, and I walked away with some real treasures, including a few from the early 19th century.
When it was time to go home, I had to make some tough decisions about what to do with my haul. I knew I couldn’t keep everything, so I decided to auction off some of the coins on eBay, sell some to a friend who was also a collector, and keep a few for myself.

In the end, I was able to make a tidy profit and add some truly unique coins to my collection. But more than that, I had the opportunity to travel back in time and experience a different place and culture. It wasn’t always easy, but it was definitely worth it.
So to all my fellow coin collectors out there, I encourage you to seek out new adventures and add some Ukrainian coins to your collection. You never know what treasures you might find!
