Thanks for the input. That's the impression I got from the price guide so I was surprised to see the completed sale on eBay that was so much higher.
Thanks for the information. Now I have to figure out how much it might be worth. It's hard selling something like this because even if it is worth...
I just posted another thread on some religious medals, but the same person had this 1875 c Prussia 10 mark gold coin that he wants to sell. I was...
A family friend has these and wants me to sell them for him. There are four of them, all silver. They come in a case and have a certificate that...

If you collect coins for awhile you'll learn the giveaways like the flower in the middle of each coin is a chrysanthemum, which is the royal...
It's from Thailand. I'm not sure the denomination offhand. 25 satang maybe?
I appreciate the offer, but I took Sonlarson up on his generous offer. I feel kind of bad taking freebies from members though when I can afford to...
Well, as I think I said, I wasn't expecting a certain "grade" because I'm not into grading coins. I just expected one without obvious damage....
Just for fun, here's mine. [ATTACH]
