Just got home from a local auction that had coins for sale. I couldn't believe how crazy people got in their coin bidding. For instance, they were selling circulated Morgans and Peace dollars for $30-$40 each, mercury dimes for $2.50 each, silver Washington Quarters for $6-$7 each and lots of other coins (that were worth only melt) for WAY above. Regardless, I was smart and bowed out when I needed to (as soon as the price went above spot). However, I was able to get 17 silver Washington Quarters for $74 (about $4.35 each...at spot), a 2002 Uncirculated Set (20 coin set) for $7 and a three foreign coins for $1. Not sure what they are or if they are silver (I'm not foreign coin expert). Can anyone give me an idea of what I have and their value? Thanks!
The one on the bottom is a 1960 Greece 20 drachmai.. 8349 silver and. 2013 asw. Melt value for it is $ 4.85 The other 2 are from Iran.
3rd coin is from Greece. KM#85 20 Drachmi denomination metal- .835 silver mintage-20,000,000 XF-$BV UNC-$10.00 BU-$45.00 ruler- Paul I reverse- Selene, moon goddess great coin. I have the larger copper-nickel coin of this same design.
I need actual size in millimters to determine which denominations those 2 coins from Iran are.... ? that heart looking thing is upside down in my Krause catalog. find out the size of these 2 coins and I will tell you what coins those others are.
Not sure about mm size; however, the envelope that it came in says that it is a 25 rial and a 50 rial. Does that seem right?
first & second coins are from Iran 1st coin is a 5 Rial, looks like AH1343 2nd coin is a 2 Rial, can't read the whole date ..both copper-nickel I think
1sr coin Iran KM#1175a 5 rials denomination metal- copper-nickel date SH1343(1964) mintage-9,484,000 F-$0.25 VF-$0.40 XF-$1.00 UNC-$4.00
2nd coin Iran KM#1173 2 reals denomination metal-copper-nickel not sure what date it is ? approximate value: F-$0.10-0.20 F-$0.25-0.45 XF-$0.50 UNC-$3.00-6.00
