Thread: World Coins List - Value Enquiry

Folks -

I am in the midst of going through a bunch of world coins that I inherited from my Grandparents. These coins have been sitting around for years, and about a year ago I was asked to sort through them so that they can be equally distributed between myself and my two brothers. Please note that if indeed any of these are of value, I will be unable to offer any of them for sale, as I am accountable to my family for splitting custodianship of them.

I'm not a world coin expert. Since we have an international crew here, and lots of forum members are experts in their own ares, I wondered if members could kindly take a few moments to review the list.

For the sake of making this easier on me to split three-ways, whether indeed true or not, I am automatically assuming that every specimen listed here is equal to US $4.00, and each is in 'Fine' condition.

If you should see specimens that are worth more than $4.00 (or the equivalent thereof in your own home currency), I would be most appreciative if you could point it/them out. Responses with line number and your guessed value (in whatever currency most easiest) would be most appreciated.

If you would like to see a particular specimen, please also feel free to ask, and I can post images.

Thanks, kindly

You have no silver Japanese coins, so unless they are high grade uncirculated examples, your Japanese coins are essentially worth face value - less than $3 for the whole batch.

May I recommend a trip to your local public library, where you will be able to consult the Standard Catalog of World Coins, aka "Krause"?

On a sight-unseen basis, if you had posted an auction of the entire lot, my bid would be well under $100. IMHO if you simply counted them out into three piles, it would make a fair distribution.

Good. That's what I wanted to hear.

Don't want to come across as being lazy, it seemed much quicker doing it this way And judging by the quantity of views (1542) and only 1 response, I think I've gotten what I thought was already the answer!
