My grandfather gave me some coins from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything of their value. I probably wont be selling them since I think they are pretty neat. If necessary I can try to post pictures. Half Penny 1887 with queen victoria on the back 1894 10 Ore Origin not sure Very small coin 1899 5C french coin semi worn 1908 50 cent (?) Haiti piece 1907 20 cent (?) piece 1912 2 cent piece Belgium? Front says Fendracht Maakt Macht. The back says Der Belgen and Albert Koning 2 1916 10 cent and 1 1915 25 cent piece and 5 cent peices with Belgique Belgie on the front and a lion on the reverse 1915 Republic of Cuba cent and 5 cent piece 1928 Six Pence piece from Britain Pre WWI German Pfennigs 1914 Luxembourg 10 Ces 190? 5 Cen Koninkrijk Belgie Not sure if anyone knows a lot about foreign coins. Don't want to burden anyone, but if anyone knows anything it will be appreciated!
Alrite thanks! I didn't plan on selling these but still interesting. I also have some French Francs and centimes from WWII which are very light and in good condition. They are from 1941-1944. I searched online and was able to tell that Germany changed the insignia and emblem when they were in control during WWII. Not sure if these are of any value either.
Visit your local public library's research section and look at the Standard Catalog of World Coins from Krause Publications. Depending on the edition it will be edited by Krause & Mishler or Bruce by Krause & Mishler or Colin Bruce. It is published in five volumes, one for each century from the 17th-21st, and contains a great deal of information about world coins.
