Facebook yard sellers

Facebook is another venue to look for coins.
I joined all of the local yard sellers and garage sellers pages in my area.
Here are a couple of purchases I made.

Sorry I posted the same picture twice.

 

That's a pretty nice Funf Mark there - what's the other side look like?

 

Looks a lil rough.

Do you know the value of it?

 

Close-up of the reverse.

 

According to Krause:

1914 A Funf (5) Marks (Prussia)
KM 536
90% Silver (.8037 ASW)
Mintage: 1,587,179

Values
F - $16
VF - $25
XF - $35
UNC - $150

I'd say yours would probably go on eBay for $30-$45 (based on the ones I've sold.) Nice pickup!

 

Thanks,I need to purchase a book on world coins.
Which one do you recommen?

 

Hi luke,
Great finds there. I also really like the 5 Mark. Thanks for the tip on the yardsellers.

Also, Krause World Coins is a good place to start for world coin values and information.

 

I quite enjoy the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins, but I have them as PDF files so I can put them on my computer/smartphone. Prices aren't really all that accurate...but then the important part is knowing what you have first. You never know what certain coins are going to bring (if you plan to sell them.)

 

Thanks Facebook has been good lately.
I'll let my post run about a week and then I bump it.

 

What's SAE mean in that second photograph?

 

I think this set was put together by one of the shopping networks and thats about all I can tell you.

 

SAE=silver american eagle?

 

This is what they look like.
I don't think the US Mint ever produced these.

 

Excellent finds!
Hope you don`t mind me asking but what country is coin on the top left from? (looks like its from the middle east but unsure of country)
Thanks

It is from the Unite Arab Emirates.
I wish I could tell you more but I don't know either. lol

 

Ah, its a Dirham
I tend to stay away from coins with barely any English (my worst subjects at school are languages... :rollling on them or coins that don`t use letters from the alphabet like the one you have.
Thanks!!
Owen
