I have an 1894 "Belgen" 10 Centiemen coin. The site worldcoingallery.com states that the Krause catalog states the coin's value is between $30 for fine to $225 for Extra Fine. Yet the mintage is over 9 million for the date of my coin. Is this price range even remotely accurate?
Pictures http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pho...com/catalogue/photos/belgique/g628.jpgThere's stock photos for 1895, but other than that it is the same as the one I have and has the same catalog code (obviously). I'd post pics of mine but I'm out of town! This is the version with flemmish text, which is what I have. Sources say the code is km#43 for Belgium.
My Krause says Fine $0.75, VF $3,XF $7 You might be mixing it up with the 1895/4 which means the 5 is over the 4 those values are F$9,VF$35,,XF$1210,Unc $225. and only 3.5 million were struck
Thanks, that sounds more accurate. Any ideas if there might be a picture of one somewhere? I'd like to know what to look for just in case mine is one of those !
the one you describe is the 10 cents with the dutch legends, the actual mintage is 9209000, not a rare coin but a nice one all the same...........this is the rarer 1895 with the 5 over the 4 as davey said.
