Value Please

[AU24K]

Just a quick question.....
I have 40-50 pounds of bulk foreign coins.
No silver.
What would be a fair price, per pound, to sell for a local pickup?
TIA!

Best,

Scott

Not having any idea what they would be worth, I just googled "foreign coins by the pound". Looks like most listings on the internet are priced on average about 15 dollars per pound

Scott,
You might get more enjoyment by attending a Boy Scout Coin Collecting Merit badge meeting (say every six months), passing out some coins and watching the expression of the Scouts and fielding their questions.

Don, that is very fine option, indeed, but,
I have to move very soon and I am trying to lighten my load and my finances are tight.
Perhaps if I was in a better position, I would gladly use the coins for fostering younger collector's interest
and encouraging coin collecting and the history that only coins can provide.

Best Wishes, my Friend!
