1960 turkish Lira and canadian coins. I have a couple of Turkis Lira coins. I have no idea how I got these, but I geuss I put them in my 'can' of coins many years ago. They look to be in great condition (better EF+ or better, using US coin grading). They are dated 1960. any idea of value? also I have some large cent canadian pennies. Dated 1916 and 1919. quite worn around the high points, probably G, VG. I also have a number of canadian small cents, early dates on up to 1970s, same with some canadian nickels. Not sure why I saved all this stuff as a kid, but would like to know of where the market is for this stuff as I'd like to part with it...
no problem skane, well, off hand, i would say they are all very common coins, probably 5-10 cents per.
1960 Lira $0.20 in XF, $0.50 in UNC. 11,436,000 minted that year. 1916 Large Cent $0.50 in VG. 1919 Large Cent $0.50 in VG. Over 11 million minted in each year. Key dates for Canadian Small Cents: 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926 with 1 to 2 million mintes in each year. Semi-key dates: 1927, 1930 and 1931 with 2.5 to 3.8 million minted for each year. All other dates have mintages in the 10 to 900+ million range. NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A 1936 SMALL CENT CHECK FOR A DOT UNDER THE DATE! 678,823 were minted but only 3 are known to exist according to Krause. Value for gem specimen was $121,000 at auction in 1997. Canadian 5 Cent coins were nickel starting in 1922. Before that they were smaller and made of silver.
Thank you, I was wondering about that also. What are key dates for quarters as I have a number of them also. (guess now that I think about it, I have a number of Canadian coins. Guess it has to do with living in NY during my childhood and seeing this stuff and throwing it in a can.)...
