? NEED HELP IDENTFYING/VALUING ?

[J-Herby]

I was out doing some garage sale'ing this morning when I ran across this assortment of coins, and paper bills. I personally don't know a thing about foreign coins so if anyone could help that would be great! (I know there's a few U.S) This is also my first post so I hope the pictures upload good enough. The pictures I uploaded are of all the different coins, but there are some doubles. If you know of a coins value I would love to know to see if it was worth it. Thanks, and hope you can help!

Posted a response on your other thread but here it is again:

You've got some good coins in there:

The 2 half dollars are 90% silver, worth about $8 each in silver scrap.

Your 1 mark coin (dated 1899 it looks like) is 90% silver, some 1 mark coins have rare mints although I don't have a reference right on hand, your mintmark will be on the obverse under the eagle and it will be a small letter.

Your 2 half crown coins are 50% silver and worth a few bucks. They're not rare dates and just worth scrap.

Your 1943 sixpence is 50% silver also, and is also a common date worth silver scrap.

Your 1956 5 mark coin is also silver, I believe it is more or less a common date but might be worth more than silver scrap, I think they have an ASW of 0.225 tOz.

Your smaller coin with a shield on it on the picture with the half dollars and half crowns I believe is (debased) silver from a Northern European country, I know I've got one and its silver, but can't for the life of me remember the country. Naturally the date will determine more of the value, but I do believe it is silver.

Your 1961 25 Ore (from Sweden) I believe is 40% silver and I think its a fairly common date.

Your 1899 3 Kopek might be worth a buck or two as a curiosity, although you might want to do further research since there are some rarities in the Russian Empire coinage.

Under your half dollars is a copper coin which I believe dates from the 1700s but is quite worn, see if you can get a date (and mintmark if applicable)

Post your dates for your British bronze coins (any coin that says Penny, Half-Penny or Farthing on it) because there are some rare dates and rare varieties that can be worth quite a bit, although normally the values are quite modest for Post-Edward VII bronzes.

Post the dates and mintmarks for your German coins, Germany used quite a few different mints and a coin for a year that is incredibly common for one year might be incredibly scarce for another.

Also, check if your 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar (assuming it is 1979-P, couldn't make out the mintmark) for the wide-rim variety ( 1979 Wide Rim Susan B. Anthony Dollar | eBay ) if its not the wide-rim it is just worth $1.

1940 penny and a 1923 half penny.

1940 penny and a 1923 half penny.

Both are fairly common, worth a couple of cents in circulated (like yours) condition.

generic lad---unbelievable. You mention a SBA wide rim and I remembered an SBA here in my computer desk drawer. According to the Red Book photo's, it's 1979 wide rim. RB shows the coin in MS 63 at $60 bucks. This is a long way from any kind of grade. Thanks. I'll go to ebay and see if I can find a cost comparison. Can't even remember why the SBA was there in the first place. Again, thanks.

[J-Herby]

[sagittarius98]

I will PM you my e-mail so that we can communicate by e-mail for any future IDs. I can help with both lots, but I would need pictures of the other side too.

Very nice assortment of coins. Wish I could stumble on such a find at a reasonable price. Quite a bit of silver in there!

 

[J-Herby]

It seemed to be a bit from everywhere. I numbered them so It would be easier to Reference. I started at 1 and went past 300 not counting same date doubles and a jar full of wheats. I'm not to sure if I got them for a good price though.

Ok, I can help you with a few for now

Number 37 is a 10 yen coin from Japan (no clue about the year)
Number 46 is from the Netherlands I believe (can't make out the date)
Number 83 looks to be a coin from India, 1 pice I think, a 1957 1 pice in your coins condition might fetch a buck or two on eBay
Number 82 is a 50 cent coin from Belgium, I think yours is dated 1954, if so it is common and one recently sold for a quarter on eBay
Number 89 is a British halfpenny, it is a common year and is worth a few cents to a buck or so (most George VI 1/2ds aren't worth too much)
Number 98 is a Dutch 1 cent from 1900, worth a dollar at the most
Number 81 is a British 50% silver threepence, I think most acorn 3ds are just worth melt, except for the 1928 and 1930 issues which are worth a modest premium in circulated grades (about $5 for the 1928 and about $3 for the 1930 or so)
Number 96 is a 1930 sixpence (British, 50% silver) just worth melt
Number 78 looks to be a Canadian dime dated 1938 which is just worth melt (80% silver)
Number 86 is a 1941 farthing which is very common, worth just a couple of cents
Number 49 is a 1936 New Zealand threepence which is 50% silver, a common date, and just worth melt
Number 48 is an Australian threepence, although I cannot make out the date, to me it looks like 1931 (which is impossible since now Australian 3ds were minted bearing that date) or 1934 (which had a different design). However, it is silver and the value depends on what date it is (looks like it might be from the 1960s)
Number 50 is an Australian threepence (50% silver) worth a couple of bucks (worth more than bullion but not much)
Number 41 is a 1939 Canadian dime (80% silver) that is a better date and worth about $6 or so
Number 51 looks to be a 1936 10 cent coin from the Netherlands, it is silver and worth about melt
Number 52 is a 1961 Australian threepence (50% silver) it is a common date worth about a buck or two
Number 43 is a 1946 Canadian quarter (80% silver) and is a common date worth melt
Number 44 is a sterling Canadian 5 cent (half dime) '
Number 53 is a 80% silver Canadian dime dated 1942 worth about melt
Number 54 is an australian 50% silver threepence 1944-S worth about melt
Number 47 is a Canadian dime dated 1905 (it is sterling) and is worth about $5
Number 60 looks to be a Netherlands 10 cent coin from 1869, it is worth about $8-10 or so
Number 63 is a British sterling threepence dated 1916, it is a common date worth not much more than melt

From what I can see, you did fairly well, so long as you didn't spend $$$$ on the collection. I certainly don't see any million-dollar coins, but certainly a lot of silver.

It is a 1951.

Can we ask how much both lots cost

 

[J-Herby]

$25 for the first lot and 275 for the second then I bought 2 silver eagles for 30 bucks each. I'm worried about the second lot, I didn't have much time to look them over. I thought there was much more American coins than there was because there was quite a few on top of the shoe box pile.

Can you post pics of the other sides and send them to me by email? I coudl appraise them easily.
