<p>[QUOTE="danfierce70, post: 1103281, member: 19659"]I am an avid world coin collector. Just as some of the others here have mentioned, I collect them for their artistic and/or historical significance. Also as others have suggested, cataloging them is a great start to knowing an approximattion of what they're worth. However, even if you go through the time to do so, and even if you look up each coin individually in the Krause set of world coin books, which are not at all cheap, there is no real guarantee you will always get true top dollar. If you want to go through and truly find the value and catalogue them, then I think you may very well find that you will decide to keep them simply due to all the wonderful things you have learned along the way. Remember, it's not the journey that makes a trip worthwile, but how you get there. The only advice I can offer is simply to parrot what others have said and suggest selling them in lots on ebay. Or to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Seriously, don't hesitate to ask if you have difficulty with any of them. Oriental, Arabic, and Thailand coins can be especially troublesome, but then knowledge worth having very rarely comes easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
