Message:: [QUOTE="hontonai, post: 340085, member: 4703"]You missed my point.  Public libraries have a vast network through which they temporarily exchange books on what they call "Inter-library loans".  With that system just about any library has access to almost any book, at least for short term non-circulating use. Anyhow, XF is valued in the 2001 3rd Ed. 19th Century volume of the SCWC (not the most recent edition) as follows: <ul> <li>Austria 1881 1 Kreuzer, KM#2186, $1.50, mintage 37,900,000</li> <li>Austria 1885 1 Kreuzer, KM#2187, $1.25, mintage 29,000,000</li> <li>Austria 1895 10 Heller (1.25 Kreuzer), none listed</li> <li>Colombia 1881, 2 1/2 centavos,  KM#169, $30, mintage 123,000</li> <li>France 1900 10 centimes, KM#843, $8, mintage 5,000,000</li> <li>Japan 1882 1-Rin, Y#15, $8, 3,632,000</li> </ul>Mombasa is now known as Kenya.  There are multiple varieties of the 1 pice, minted at Birmingham ("H") and Calcutta ("C/M") for the British East India Company in 1888.  Without pictures it's impossible to guess which ones you have, and even with pictures it may not be possible for someone with no expertise in the series to attribute or evaluate them.[/QUOTE]
