I got a coin just like this today - same year, similar condition - at my local coin shop for 25 cents out of the value bin. Just sayin.
Unfortunately they don't always work out this way. A few weeks back I sold, individually, about 20 Mercury dimes on eBay. Some went for 4-5...
I've wondered about that too, but I've bid on a lot of other low silver content coins in the last few weeks, like British 3 pence and Mexican 1...

I really like the pre-1900 1 centavo (I think that's what it is). It looks like a really early U.S. coin. Unfortunately every one I've had the...
The coins I see the most are ones from the major countries of Western Europe. There are also many from the Caribbean and the rest of the Americas....
Since I know my local dealer doesn't really want foreign coins, I know he is probably only getting them from local people who bring them in, so I...
I'd never seen a Greek lepta like that, so I was glad to get it. And even if the Danish coin is common, I love getting something that old for such...

I think a lot of people in the U.S. don't know what to do with foreign silver. When you see people buying silver, they always want U.S. coins...
Well, the two coins in question don't stick to a magnet, so hopefully that means they are silver. Silver has a certain look to it, and that's why...
Thanks for the help everyone!
Thanks for the help. I never would have IDed the Saudi Arabian one on my own. I was surprised to find the silver too, because that's the one thing...
I started a thread on here not too long ago for people to post odd shaped coins, because I think they're neat too. You might want to find that and...
Is there any way other than weight? I don't own a scale.
I could use some assistance IDing these three coins. The first is Chinese, but is smaller than the other coins of this type I've seen. It's about...
I like that idea. I do a lot of things that a lot of collectors on this board wouldn't understand, like I save every bicentennial quarter I find,...
Apparently there are three types of dime for 1968 in Canada - 90 percent silver, 50 percent silver and non-silver. I have a few that I think are...
In this group I have a silver 1870 Spanish peseta, an unknown Arabic looking coin I'd like some help identifying that I thought might be silver,...
this group is an 1875, 1878 and 1884 British farthing.
