Something that rare is definitely worth more than melt value even if it's not in great shape.
I need to get one of those 6-sided Belgian Congo coins.
Since this started I've seen some very creative listings to get around this. I saw someone list a Cuban coin as "Western Atlantic 10 centavos."...
I also wanted to share this coin I got. I actually got four of these, from 1974-77. They are silver proofs and I basically got them for silver...
This 1969 5 pesetas from Equatorial Guinea has tusks, which are from elephants. I also have seen a Thailand silver coin with elephants, but I...
Here is a 1952 Laos 20 cents 2000 Somalia 5 shillings 2005 Somaliland 5 shillings
I wanted to share some of my coins with elephants on them. Please share yours too. I don't specifically collect elephant coins, but I recently...

I'll check that when I get home, Ripley. I couldn't find it in the index (I have a digital copy).
The thread you pointed to is talking about Canadian 10 cents. You said yours was Netherlands. Netherlands made its last 10 cent in silver in 1945.
Can anyone tell me where to find the Ionian Islands in the 19th century Krause? I know I've found them before but can't find them now. It is a...
Your coin says Mexican Empire, which is the period of Maximilian the Hapsburg emperor. You are correct on the 1864 date. Krause lists an 1864 M...
