Hi, I no longer have my older version of Krause, I lent it to a friend, never got it back, friend moved away, and I doubt I will ever see my copy of that book again So, untill I buy a new one, I was hoping some of you bright fellas on here could help me with the mintages of some of my newest 'World Coins' Most of which I actually found in the 25cent/5coins for a dollar bin, and paid .20cents each! Which would amaze you all much more if I had pics of them all, I will try to post some of the pics of the nicer ones when I get a chance, I am just looking for Mintage Numbers right now if possible..... any help would be helpful if anyone doesn't mind looking these up for me in their Krause book. Okay, I will list them with numbers next to each one to make it easy to reply to with mintages for those who know or care to help #01 - Finland - 5 Pennia - 1888 - Alexander III. #02 - Canada - 1882 H - Large Cent, Queen Victoria. #03 - Straits Settlements - 1884 - One Cent, Queen Victoria. #04 - Switzerland - 1884 - 10 Rappen. (This coin is in AU/Unc condition, the prices listed in Krause for EF, and Unc would also be very helpful for me on this coin, if anyone has them) #05 - Peru - Silver Half Dinero - 1890 T.F. #06 - Republica Mexicana (Mexico) - 1896 Mo B = Mexico City Mint, B. Silver Diez (10) Centavos #07 - Republica Mexicana (Mexico) - 1892 Mexico City Mint - Bronze Un (one) Centavo. #08 - Republica Mexicana (Mexico) - 1893 Mexico City Mint - Bronze Un (one) Centavo. These Next ones are all from Italy, and very interesting to me, I paid only .20 cents for each one, and some are at least VF+, and I am just wondering if any are rare mints or low mintages. I know very little of Italian coins of this time period, but I am sure some folks on here know plenty and can help me out.... #09 - Italy, Umberto I - 1 centesimo - 1895 Looks like an 'R' Mintmark for 'Roma' but could be a 'B', I don't know enough about Italian Mints to know where they were located at this period in time..... Probably an 'R'.... anyone able to confirm that? #10 - Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II - 2 Centesimi - 1861 M (Is the 'M' a mintmark for Milan ?) #11 - Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II - 10 Centesimi - 1867 - H #12 - Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II - 10 Centesimi - 1867 - H (question: what is the 'H' Mintmark for?) #13 - Italy, Umberto I - 10 Centesimi - 1894 R I also purchased a VF+ Italy 1908 R - 1 centesimo of Vittorio Emanuele III. I have the info for that one as I still have my 1901 - 2001 Krause book.... quite a nice coin, and a great little specimen for just .20 cents too! This last one was also a .20 cent bin purchase and is fairly heavily worn around the edges, but has a clear date and denomination, as well as a pretty nice eagle, I don't know if anyone will know anything about this one or if it is even listed in Krause, remember though, any and all info is helpful and appreciated... thanks. #15 - Poland - Silver/Billon 10 Groszy - 1830 - Weight: 2.9 - 3.0 Grams, 21mm Again, I will work on getting some pictures up soon... I need the info and mintages and stuff to write on the envelopes I want to save them in, then I will take photos before putting some of them into my rifle safe.

Gracias - New Emperor Vespasian (69 - 79 A D) Syrian Tet Heh, well I paid .20 cents US for the Polish 10 Groszy, so no big loss there and I am well versed with the mintmarks of coins struck in GB, but thank you. I spent alot of time collecting British Commonwealth coinage, in fact after starting with US and Mexican coins( I live in Arizona, near the border with Mexico) I went to collecting world coins and I favored British Commonwealth, earlier the better, especially the Straits Settlements and East India Co. Coins. Since then I have collected from all over, mostly, as I said, British Commonwealth, Russia, Asia, South and Central America etc.... untill I came to Roman Silver coins, bronze too, but that is my main focus now. I appreciate your help shantheman and the links from everyone else... I will check them out.... Gracias. ~~~~~~~~~~~ **to make this very boring and answered thread more lively here is a pic of my newest Vespasian Tetradrachm from Antioch, Syria - 69 - 79 Anno Domini. ~ Ancient Roman Empire Antioch, Syria.
