Anyone know these foreign coins and are they worth anything?

I bought the following foreign coins below at an antique flea market. I know nothing about world coins but thought I would take a chance since he offered to sell them 7 for $5. I am wondering about the Asian coin in particular, what it is. I am also wondering is there anything worth more than what I paid. I am getting the feeling I probably overpaid for these since I noticed some coins he was selling were much more than what they were worth but these were just in a box with a bunch of other foreign coins and dateless buffalos. Any idea what the Asian coin is and if any of these coins are worth at least what I paid or more?

The one from England with the queen is one shilling, 1964. I didn't show the reverse on that one, the one on the top right where the obverse is shown in both pictures.

 

Sad to say but they all look like they are worth only a few cents. All common. Ive got several of these in a junk world coin piggy bank.

 

I knew they were junk, I don't know what I was thinking. I should have known better when I saw 10 common wheats for $1 and a standing I bought for $7.00 selling for $15.

 

Not much here. Maybe $1.00 for 6 coins and the Finland about $.50~$1.00

Sorry man.

 

Hope you don't mind I used your edited pic with labels when I list these for sale on Ebay.

 

Nope, go right ahead. Glad to be of service. Hope you make somethin' back. :yes:

 

I included a Bermudan and Canadian dime in the lot I found while coin roll hunting. I could go back to the Flea Market and argue for my money back but it would cost more in gas. Let me see if I can atleast recoop a couple dollars of it.

 

For that lot you'll have to charge $2.99 for shipping within the US, $4.99 to Europe and $5.99 everywhere else. I just sent a package today from LA to Florida and it cost $2.25 same amount of coins you're selling. Ebay and Paypal charged me $.70 for the sale and transaction.

Good luck!

 

I actually know someone who can ship this from work for free so I guess I won't charge for shipping but starteed the bid at $3.00. Do you think that is too high for these coins? $3 starting bid with free shipping. I know it looks as if that is a dollar high from how much you said these coins are worth but would like to re-coop the money I spent on them. I knew buying them was a risk. The seller mentioned that he isn't selling these coins to numasists, just people that may want something. I was looking at these plastic things with wheat pennies in them he was selling for $1 and notice all the wheats were worth 3 cents a piece and there were not a lot in each container. I don't know why I was thinking that there might be some silver in the foreign coin and dateless buffalo nickels. I have read this that you can get good buys from but you can also get ripped off. This place was the latter. One major problem is the antique flea market is in an area known as a tourist trap filled with restaurants and collectable and antique shops.

 

Nice job on the labeling jlblonde!

 

Thx Gbroke!

 

I think you'll be ok.

Flea market tourist trap? Where is that?

Our's is the Pasadena Rose Bowl flea market just north-east of Los Angeles. Very pricey.

 

That's called employee theft at my work.

 

Here is a price from Siberia :
1. 5 pesetas (Spain) - 30 cents.
2. 1 baht 1962 (Thailand) - 1 $.
3. 100 lire (Italy) - 60 cents.
4. 25 pennia (Finland) - 2 $.
5. One shilling (UK) - 1 $.
6. 25 cents (East Caribbean States) - 1 $.
7. 1 drachma (Greece) - 60 cents.

 

I'd write those off and invest $15 getting a Krause world coin book. I say always invest in the knowledge before burning money on things you can't identify.

 

not if they allow you

The person is more than willing to pay but hasn't been required to. That is not theft, more like a perk. Others do the same. That is their concern not yours and I shouldn't have brought it up.

 

you really think siberia?

You really think so, that is $6.50.

 

Do you think I should include a silver Canadian dime? Will that make it sell easier? It also seems to sell things easier like those unsearched wheat cent rolls with silver dime ends. They always add some silver to dump things they don't want.

 

I decided to sweeten the pot on Ebay and added a 1953 silver Canadian dime I want to get rid of too. I upped the asking bid though.
