Allow me to trade these forign coins for any fair value "US" coins?? I know that the Dime and the Quarter are silver but I would much rather have US Silver. Any ideas???
I doubt it highly, US 90% silver coins are worth right at 20% more than Canadian coins of that era due to differences in Silver content. Your silver quarter is worth $5 and the Dime $2, a US Silver Quarter is worth $6.03 and a dime $2.44 melt.
Who said they are Canadian Dimes and Quarters ? They look British from the one pic shown Copper Penny and Farthing and a Shilling and Sixpence. The shilling and Sixpence are George VI so 50% silver Pre 1920 British silver coins are 92.5%.
Starting at 12 o'clock; the coin looks like a Canadian quarter; 37-47; 80% silver; 0.15 oz. of total silver. Est. worth: $5 At 3 & 6 o'clock, the coins look like Canadian cents; 37-47; bronze. $0.10/ea. At 9 o'clock, the coin looks like British Penny; 11-48; bronze. Maybe $1.00 depending on year.
Phil Ham How did you determine that, I guess we will have to wait for OP to show us the reverses I just recreated the pic from my scrap box,but I put the reverses in.
The large cent is Brittish the other coins are Canadian if you don't believe me I will scan the reverse. I just scanned the obverse because I am lazy The dime has the boat on the back
I will caveat my answer with the fact that I'm giving it an educated guess. First, I have examples of these coins in my collection. I knew that they were either Canadian or British coins from the first half of the 20th century. I then compared the writing on the obverse with examples shown in the 2006 standard catalog of World Coins (Krause & Mishhler). I must say, it would be easier with the reverse.
It would have been clearer if you had of scanned the reverses, it wasn`t a case of not believing you, it was guess work. BTW What you call a Large Cent is a Penny.
Nice, I didn't mean to come off like that but here is the reverse: (Ignore the 2010 penny, it had some toning on the reverse that I wanted to show but my scanner could not capture it) I would like to just trade these forign coins for those that I collect and get a decent deal out of it. It's not like you can do a "Fair trade" on ebay Maybe someday I will run into someone who collects Canadian and Brittish coins who wants to trade me some US coins
