Anyone know these foreign coins and are they worth anything?

I added some things to JBlonde's chart to maybe attract some bidders. I am probably going to get stuck with them though since I don't want to lower my bid to low because of fees and he fact I can sell the silver Canadian to a PM shop.

Yes I am. It's a price for such coins in Siberia.

 

I should open this auction up internationally then. I know I hear about people that have to travel for work have various world coins that are probably not worth that much and they sell world coin grab bags online. I would believe JBlonde about their value here since the antique flea market I bought them from are in an area that is a bit of a tourist trap and as I mentioned the owner was selling worn down V Nickels and dateless buffalos for a dollar. He was selling maybe 8 common date wheats for a dollar I find in rolls all the time and a 1930 G/VG standing for $15 that I paid $7 for at a PM shop. I thought maybe he didn't know about international coins but when I handed the coins to him he said the Finland Pennia coin was good so he knew exactly what he saying. What bugs me about him is he said these coins were not for a numismatic. They are designed to take advantage of the unknowing. I would think though that in Siberia your coin markets are completely different and people seek different coins than here and I should sell these internationally.

 

For only $3, why are you spending so much time on it? Just list the lot on FeeBay as a traditional auction and start the bidding at $0.01. Check back in a week and see what happened. Worst case scenario, it sells for the value of the Canadian dime and you've just done your random act of kindness for some stranger by sending off some free foreign coins.

 

Ours is called New Hope PA/ Lambertville NJ. It is about an hour south of New York and an hour north of Philadelphia. It is mostly collectable/antique/art shops and flea markets with some pricy restaurants as well. There are also some wealthy people residing in the area. I worked in some restaurants/banquet facilities in the area and they were all pricey. But that is ok, I will probably just keep them and just not return there. Not worth going back and trying to return them since it would cost $3 in gas atleast. If I am in the area though I should make a point to mention his prices or try to get a return. I have gotten some good deals at a local PM shop but have on occasion bought things I thought were overpriced or wasn't happy with something and was able to exchange them for something else. I was hoping that the seller didn't know what was silver or not but he apparently knew exactly what he was selling me and the value of them. He lost in the long run though since I would go back if I felt I received good value now I won't.

 

Right I shouldn't worry about $3 even though it irks anyone when they felt they had been scammed. I will just leave the price at $6 with free shipping for all and if they don't sell, I will just keep them. I could just do that though next time, just relist but get rid of the silver dime and see what I can get for them.
