What are 11.8 pounds of late foreign coins "worth'?

I picked these up in the service - Phillipines, Australia, Bahrain, Greece, Hong Kong, etc., etc., etc. Big coppers, small coppers, odd shapes, big nickel composition coins, bi-metals, and more. Quite a few Australian 1 and 2 dollar coins now that I look. Those are worth about US $1 if you can find some place to cash them in.

Ballpark to ask? $10? $20?

???

Thanks

About how many coins in total do you have. I can usually buy a lot of 100 world coins for around $15. Where are you planning on selling them?

 

Too bad they arnt silver. Youd have 6 grand in spot alone

Im sure someone would be a buyer for 15-20 bucks.

 

11.8 pounds should be worth more than 15-20 bucks man.

If they are all modern, I still say $50 or more. Add up your Australian dollars, they are worth a little more than $1 US each nowadays.

 

Shrug, maybe they are. I am not a expert on buying none silver coins by the pound lol.

Silver by the pound on the other hand sounds excellent :devil:

 

I'm an expert on buyin' copper at the Home Depot and let me tell ya fellers, it ain't cheap.........

 

haha yeah, you always hear of people breaking into the KB homes to steal the copper pipes before they are fully completely.

Its like man just go get a job FFS

 

Thanks for all the quick replies, folks. I stopped counting at 600 coins. This does not include $30 in Australian $1 and $2 coins, and a few odd shaped ones I took a seperate picture of. Not that are worth much/anything but they are neat.

 

Oh - plan on selling them here - just wanted a rough idea on what to ask.

I sent you a PM

 

Received!

 

You could always host a contest...say, for maybe a group of x amount.

Just a thought.

I like the coins with the holes in them!

Thanks for your service Atarian.

Run a sealed bid auction in the for sale section. Highest bid via PM before a deadline gets the lot.

Or, update the post with the running highest bid. (Kinda like FeeBay, but without the fees)

 

I sell similar at the local flea market, four for a buck. Usually sell between 100 and 200 coins a pop.

 

Seems like something that would do best with an auction. It's kind of hard to place a value on a ton of coins from many countries with different grades. True auction seems like the best bet. Or "50 coins for $xx, 12 lots available." That may work too.
