<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tbirde, post: 6027, member: 85&quot;]That Italian 100 Lire desire was issued 1955-92 and features the head of Italia and the goddess Ceres. The coin is made of stainless steel and there were 90.6 million minted that year. The R is the Rome mint mark. Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning. That one may range from .10 to maybe $150. Points of wear to look for would be Ceres&#039;s fingers and dress as well as Italia&#039;s hairlines and laurel. Only perfect examples would command the high Uncirculated value and value drops off quickly for those with any wear at all.</p><p>The 50 Lire is also stainless steel and also features Italia and a blacksmith and anvil. Points of wear are the head and hands. There were 70.5 million minted of a design used 1954-95. Value of this date may range&nbsp; from .10 to a possible $40. </p><p>You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
