    I would like to know the value of a few coins from my collection(this is not the whole collection J ):
    A Greek coin(I think) has the writing: kibris cumhuriyeti kyttpiakhahmokpatia with the date 1965
    On the back is a boat and the number 5.
    Next a 1 peso 1976 Colombian coin.
    Next a Brazilian 1000 Reis coin from 1927.
    Also a Mexican 1971 coin with a picture of a native looking man on it and the writing cincuenta centavos.
    Finally to Moroccan coins, a 1 franc and a 25 centime, I don’t know the dates as I cant read Arabic. The 25 centime coin has a hole in the middle that loks like it was put in by the mint.

    If you could post some pictures it would be quite helpful as to determining quality, and I could tell you the dates of the Moroccan coins.

    1. Colombian coin is worth .40 (maybe a bit more)

    [​IMG]
    2. Brazilian coin is worth about 8 bucks uncirculated .50 to about 3 bucks otherwise (depending on conditions)

    [​IMG]
    3. Mexican coin is a 50 centavos and is worth about 50 cents max

    ^^might this look like your 25 centime from Morroco? Uncirculated it would be worth 40 bucks...otherwise it is worth anywhere between 1 and 8 dollars. This is a coin from when it was a french protectorate. Once it became a kingdom it quit using French denomimations...It should say "Empire Cherifien" on it.


    As for the 1 Franc...its worth depends on what year it is...

    [​IMG]
    1921,1924 40 bucks mint 50 cents to 7 dollars otherwise. I am assuming it is this coin because the other 1 Franc coins have the date in english...

    What you are calling a Greek Coin is from Cyprus (greek side) and says KIBRIS CUMHURIYETI KYTTPLAKH AHMOKPATIA. it is a 5 Mils coin from Cyprus worth about 20-40 cents max


    In the end, they are worth what a person will pay for them :)

    Thanks guys, the Morocco coins are in good condishion a tad of tarnishing on the 25 centime.Also could you also help me in identifying witch European coins are silver the ones I suspect could be are mostly from the Netherlands , Luxemburg, Portugal, and Poland. Also aren’t most if not all Swiss larger denomination coins silver.

    No, only commemorative coins. The "franc/franken" coins (1/2 fr, 1 fr, 2 fr, 5 fr) were silver until 1967; the silver 5 fr had a one-time comeback in 1969. None of these are legal tender in Switzerland; the modern ones are Cu-Ni coins.
