it depends on the condition of the coins, if they were generally ciculated then, chances are, they are worth about face value. If they stand out in exceptional condition, you may want to protect them and set them aside. I don't think any of those dates jump out at me.
Please excuse the directness of this reply, but your post seemed a bit curious. I see that you have posted over 180 times. Yet, you do not know the value of a bunch of common, modern European coins. There is a bit of a contradiction in that, and as I say, it has me wondering. How long have you been a collector? Usually, someone with 180 posts has something to say and that indicates a certain body of knowledge. That knowledge is typically supported by a personal library of books, periodicals, etc. Yet, you seem to lack those basic tools. This brings me back to the question: how long have you been collecting? Another aspect is that the long list of material requires that SOMEONE do a lot of work and it seems not to be you. Do you PAY people for appraising your inventory? That is the usual way it is handled, you know. Of course, we all go out of our way for newbies. But, then, there are those 180 posts. So, how long have you been collecting? Michael "at it for 10 years and still a newbie"
wel i started collecting when someone did not want some forign coins so i took them and since then i well tryed to colect forign coins i dont alot because 1 i dont have any books so i need a little help second i am only 14 and getting started
Collector value depends on date, number minted, mintmark if any, and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning. All the ones you listed are fairly common and worth less than a dollar. That doesn't make them any less interesting though! The Franc(k)s are likely French (Francaise) and Belgian (Belgique or Belgie). I'd be glad to help you out in the future, as would any pure hobbyist, but it IS more fun to do it yourself. You might try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
guy, The word "value" can mean different things. If you are only interested in how much you can sell your coins for, then no, it would seem like you don't have anything of much "value". If you really like collecting, and have a great appreciation for coins, their designs, history, etc., then their value is priceless.
Well that explains everything. Again, I apologize for being direct but I am glad that you answered. As Tbirde has recommended, you will find the public library perhaps your single greatest resource. The library has the books about coins that you need. As you have chosen to collect foreign coins, you are going to need to know a bit about foreign languages to identify them. The library can help you there, as well. Most of the long time collectors have books as well, and probably more and better than most libraries when it comes to numismatics. So, do not hesitate to ask. Michael
