<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1685965, member: 25270&quot;]If it&#039;s like the typical dealer&#039;s 5 for a dollar box I would not recommend buying the whole thing. First off, what you should do depends on what your goals are. Do you want to resell them for a profit? Do you want to build a collection of a lot of different coins from different countries? Do you just want to find some deals and worry about what you&#039;ll do with them later? What I generally do is buy everything from before the World War II era that is in decent shape. Don&#039;t buy coins with corrosion or big dents unless they&#039;re really old or unusual. If you find an older coin in really good shape, buy that too. Coins from after World War II mostly aren&#039;t worth anything so I wouldn&#039;t buy them unless you are interested in the design or want to collect that country. Most world coin value bins are full of these coins, which is why I wouldn&#039;t recommend buying the whole thing. You&#039;re likely to get a ton of 1980s Mexican coins and 1950s German 10 pfennigs. Of course you should buy any silver you see no matter what shape it is in because you won&#039;t lose money on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins you bought are all coins I would have bought at one time, but none is really worth a premium except the silver coin. The World War II era French coins are very common and I have trouble selling them on eBay for a dollar. Older British coins are always popular and I like the design personally. The older Canadian large cents are always worth investing a quarter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once you dig through these value bins for awhile you&#039;ll get a feel for what is common and what is unusual. Once you kind of know what&#039;s what, I&#039;d say buy anything you haven&#039;t seen before because it&#039;s more than likely to be special.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
