These coins were passed on to me after my grandfather's death. Just wanted to see what the relative values might be. First is an 1896 Morgan Dollar O: Four Peace Dollars from the 1920s (l to r: 1922 D, 1922 S, 1923 S, 1926 S) He was stationed in the South Pacific, Southeast Asia and India as an MP during WWII and I assume that is where he came upon most of the foreign pieces. 1940 Quarter Anna India, 1944 Philippines Centavo: And the following, which I hope someone can identify. I am neither a numismatist nor a linguistic anthropologist, but as a historian, it looks similar to Sanskrit (?) and possibly Indian? Thank you.
Welcome to the forum. The coins aren't worth too much money, I'm thinking around $60 to $70 dollars. Best to keep as they came from your Grandfather and can not be replaced. I'm sure others will have their own opinions as to their worth. Incidentally I do not know anything about the sanskrit coin, but that one is really nice. :thumb:
My sentiments exactly, not looking to part with them, just seeing if they had any unexpected value that would warrant storing them in my safety deposit box rather than keep them in my study. Thanks.
Relative/relative Most likely after a good weeks work you would get $300 before commissions and submissions and other precessing & Handling fees. Plus shipping. If you have real relatives in your past and true relative in your future I want to suggest just giving them some parts of their past.
Keep 'em in your study. That way, when you find yourself daydreaming about Gramps, you can easily get the coins out and spend a moment with his spirit.
