World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

A little too bright to try and show the color


This one is weird, odd 6-1/4 centime denomination, 1-year type and this same year Haiti also minted a 6 centime which is the more rare and valuable (15X more valuable)


This is just a crappy Spanish Colonial but FM and MM in the legend are inverted on the reverse

actually I am looking at my Krause catalog and that Haiti coin KM#38 F-$5.00 VF-$8.50 and XF-$22.50 not that valuable.

France KM#879 20 francs...VF-$7.00 XF-$17.00 MS-60-$22.50

 

That was my point. The 6 centime is the valuable one.

 

Got some today. All five for under 20 bucks...

 

Got these for $5. The florin alone is $5.28 melt value. They also came with a 1943 Australia Penny, and a 1960something 2 cents.

 

Well I just bought a top pop coin without knowing it. And for $5. There's only 2 graded and this one is the highest. Mintage of 39,000.

 

Holy ultra cameo!
That's pretty sweet. FIVE bucks??? How in the heck...?
Congrats!

 

Thanks! And it was actually $5.50

 

Sorry one last one. Got these today. Thought they were florins but I was wrong. Oh well.

 

Singapore is a small country off the tip of Malaysia. It is only 224 sq. mile is size with a population of less than 3 Million. This set comes in a wooden box lined with velvet an a satin interior. Very nice package. Also complete with COA and a Guaranteed return value of "S$75/-". Not real sure what that means, 75% of the issues price? However the Guarantee is only good for 2 years. Even with the nice soft interior the plastic enclosure has scratches and marks which show up in the photos. the coins themselves are superb. I am in love with the Lion. Check out the detail on the 20 Cent sailfish, the waves are neat. This set is stamped 2808 of 3500.

Singapore 1976 Proof set. Mintage 3500

 

Nice Singapore set. My son-in-law is from Singapore, and when he and my daughter got married, I hunted through my collected coins and was able to put this together (minus the Lion dollar coin).

 

you gotta an amazing deal usually those go for much higher.

 

Maybe the "/-" part refers to cents? If I saw such a notation, I would first think of a value/price of "75 Singapore dollars and zero cents". Now whether that is right ... let's call it another guess.

I didn't mention how much I paid, but since you asked. I purchased it with the seller throwing in some "boot" which gave me a net cost of $50. Very, very happy with that deal.

 

This is what came with the set

 

Sorry, no clue. My guess was based on what was common in the pre-decimal UK - they would write, for example, "4/-" to say four shillings (and zero pence). Maybe somebody who is more familiar with Singapore can help here?
