    Hi...i'm new to the forum and i don't know anything about coins.
    I have 3 coins passed onto my by my grandpa and i would like to know what i'm dealing with in terms of appraisal.
    They are all 10 korona coins 2 of them identical except for year (1905 and 1910) the third one is identical in size and colour it is also 1905 but it has different features on it.
    The first two have a guy in a coat standing with his left arm stretched holding a ball with a cross(presumably Franz Joseph) and the reverse side has two angels on left and right holding dome sort of an emblem with a crown on the top and another emblem inside of that with the double cross on the right and horizontal stripes on the left.
    The third coin features a profile of some bald guy (also presumed to be Franz Joseph) and it has a double-headed eagle in the reverse side.
    Once someone told me that these coins are worth about $300 Canadian dollars a piece(i live in canada), but he wasn't sure.
    If that is the case, i wouyld like to sell them, but i don't have a clue where to go.

    The first two coins are from Hungary and the third from Austria. These coina are quite common and if in uncirculated condition all 3 have a value of about $80 US each.

    If you wish to sell them - just stop by any coin shop - they'll be happy to take them. But you are likely to only get bullion value. Each coin weighs approx 3 1/3 grams for a total of 10 grams of gold. With gold's current price you could expect the shop to offer about $125.00 US.
