Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 886723, member: 112"]The first of your coins is 2 escudo minted under Phillip II 1556-1598 of Spain at the Seville mint. It is most likely from the first 10 years of his reign as those coins were not dated and the later issues were. Value will be largely dependant on the damage done to the coin, but it is among the most common of the type and will vary from $600 - $1000. The second coin is a gold ducat issued by Pope Leo X 1513-1521. The condition appears to be excellent and the value could be several thousand dollars. Of course all of this is assuming the coins are genuine. As to how to sell them, with you being in Great Britain I can't offer much help on that score other than to try and put you in contact with a dealer on the continent. But we have member here, De Orc, who also lives in England and knows coins. Perhaps he could be of assistance in that regard. edit - do not try to clean or do anything to these coins. Just leave them alone ![/QUOTE]
