What's worth this coin in VF condition. I can't find any archived sale or auction on internet so I can see the estimate price. any help?
Didn't see it in the new Krause, but found it in the 1988 edition. EE1887A(1894)mintage of 2500 i think- F-$15; vf-$25; xf-$50; unc $185 1888A(1896)mintage of 200- xf-$200; unc$750 3.5094g .835 silver, .942ozAsw
oh it seems an extremly rare coin!How should I know the date,since it;s undated. 2500 and 200 is a very small mintage for such as small coin,I looked around the websites to find one,I never find one,so I think it's worth more than the catalogue value as long as it's so rare. ty
Mintage is 25,000, not 2500, according to my Krause. The date is below the bust of Menelik. However, the numbering system used in Amharic is not the easiest to interpret. Maybe best to compare the coin against a known example of a EE 1887 and see if its the same, since this is most probably the date.
There's one here in AU condition that recently was sold,on Heritage Auction.It's an "EE 1887 Unfortunatly I'm not a member on this site and I can't see the sold price. It will be nice if there's any cointalk member who is also a member of this site so he can see and told us the pirce realised. TY
