So pretty much any Vatican coin would qualify because most of them have the pope on them, along with other religious things. I have a lot of coins...
Edit: Coin is sold. I'm asking $160 shipped. Coin has .0603 oz of gold and I'm asking near the spot price. Payment via Paypal friends and...
Like you I collect coins but occasionally dabble in the foreign currency but don't know anything about value. I'd say if you got these from...
Junk bins are always worth looking at. I've made thousands of dollars through the years reselling coins I got for peanuts from junk bins. I see...
Thanks for the info. Is there another name for these or way to describe them? "Bungtown half penny" doesn't return a lot of matches on Google or eBay.
