One of my bank tellers has some old coins to sell. Her ex husband left them and she wants to get rid of them. I didn't know what they were and offered her 8 bucks a couple months ago and she said no. I then arranged to bring in my camera so that I could get a better Idea. If you could please help!!!. What are these? what are they worth? What should I offer her? THANKS!!!! It will take several posts to get them all in. 12 total coins. The 2nd coin from Mexico I only shot the obverse (as well as the mercury dime...only the obverse). The rest, have both. Here are the first 3:
Coins 11-12. #12 is silver... Thanks for your help. What are these? Worth? Sell for how much? How much should I offer? THANKS
Wow! Cool little find, I actually have one of those 5 centavos and the silver peso coin. I do know that I wouldn't offer much more than your $8 mark, maybe offer $10 and that's it. Cool, to find but not worth much, my guess is the 5 centavos is about a $3 coin and the peso is a $3 dollar coin, the centavo maybe another $3 to $5 bucks. Like I said I really don't know, as far as the others or the thaler, I really don't know... I'm sure someone else will chime in... :goofer:
The Prussian groschen is the prize of the lot - worth $4-5 in that condition, which is quite a bit above melt for .0156oz ASW. KM#462, Berlin mint, unknown mintage. The dime is a melt value coin, as is the AG Mexican silver. Maybe you should go $10-12 for the lot, or even $15, depending on how good a source of collectible coins she is for you at the bank.
For me, that soldo is a more interesting coin than the Prussian billon silbergroschen. It is indeed Austrian, struck at the Graz Mint for the City of Gorizia, a town near Venice under Austrian administration. It is in Krause as Italian States/Gorizia/soldo C#2 Catalog value in Krause is 4$ in F and 8$ in VF
Remember - Krause values are retail. You should expect to pay no more than 70% of that. 8 to 10 USD sounds about right:thumb:
Nr.1 Autria 6 kreuzer Nr.4 Chinese Republic 10 cash Nr.7 Spain 8? maravedi These coins are interesting from a historical point of view, but show very little real value, especially the Austrian and Spanish coin which have a poor condition. The value of these coins doesn't exceed a dollar.
Just remember, you don't always have to buy. Sometimes it is better to pass if the offer is not accepted. I have a hard time with that myself.
