enoilgam dude you know a lot about coins one might say too much

With collecting, the more you know the better - the first thing you learn when you start collecting is that knowledge is your most important tool and there is so much you need to know (as you can see in this thread, one small difference on a coin can make a massive difference in it's value).

I have some foreign coin that I have nfi where it is from, it is entirely possible it is not actual currency.

I have this coin that has two of the ninja turtles on it.

How much is it worth? And it is definitely a real coin.

Post them.

what are 1946 florins worth

Since it's mostly silver, it's worth around bullion value (about $10) unless it's in high grade, then it may be worth $100 maybe.

Obvi lol

Why not?

 

[Riproot]

Why not?

because there's no round one there???

 

[Riproot]

postem

No.

I fucking put my coins away and ceebs retrieving them again.

The 1966 round 50c is the centrepiece of any 50c collection - it's a must have.

Contrary to popular belief, they arent very rare (like 40 million were made), but since they are silver, they are worth around $10 in average condition. Nearly all dealers are very interested in buying these coins off the public and quite a few people have hoards of them lying around.

since they're from 1966 I'd say they're pretty rare.

Oh I actually think my dad has one! He found it when we were renovating. It was scratched and gross though

 

[enoilgam]

It's probably a novelty item - from the looks of things, I would say it was made by a mould as opposed to being minted.

It's still worth its weight in silver though.

I havent done anything related to numismatics lately (I've missed the last two major auctions) and I kind of miss it, so I'm going to bump this thread. Show us what you have people.

Also, I cant believe that this thread is nine months old.

 

[enoilgam]

Here is another one to look out for, a 2000 Millenium 50c incuse version (pictured on the left). They are worth about $100 if you can find one in good condition.

I found an australian penny from 1920.
Don't think it's worth much though

 

[Thief]

What about old $50 notes? The paper ones. If they're not in pristine condition are they still worth anything more than $50?

 

[obliviousninja]

I have jack all, besides a lot of coins that differ from the generic ones, which aren't even that old.

It depends on the condition and the variant - there are three types of 1920 Pennys. Two arent worth much except in high grade, whereas one can fetch $500 in average condition. Post a picture and I'll give you an idea.

It depends on the prefix (the three letters before the serial number).

I've got YXQ and YUY.

You're out of luck . But, they might be worth a little above face value depending on the signature combo.

Thanks anyway!

This is wrong, there are actually eight variants - some are quite rare actually. So now I am curious to see what you have MadHarris.

Thanks anyway!

You win some, you lose some.

Enoil, caz i post a pic of my coins. Most of them (if not all) won't be worth more than face value. brb.
