Coins & Banknotes Valuation Sticky

childsplay

Hi,
I have a set of 6 Canadian coins. They are dated 1965 and are in plastic stamped with the words Royal Canadian Mint.
The dollar coin has a picture of two people in a canoe.

Anyone say what they'd be worth?

i have a load of coins of all denominations (pre euro) accumalated over the past twenty five years or so and have just started sorting them,probably to just cash them in. Is there anything i shoud keep an eye out for or hang on to?,besides the obvious 1985 20p. Any info would be appreciated. All have been in circulation and have been gathered through the hospitality industry. Thanks.

this would be a proof coin
depending on the condition, in this case it would make a big difference, around the €50 mark

Thank you

there not worth too much as the years had high mints over a million of each up to over 3 million ,

might be worth putting on ebay ?

for the most even if the coins are unc there worth about 3-7 euro but higher /lower maybe depending on the buyer

Dr Strange

Hi gb19815, please do not post the same question on three different threads in the forum. I deleted the other posts and left this one as jamiecoins provide you with an answer.

gb19815

Hi jamie so u reckon i could get 3-7 each for them ? I wanna sell them all as one dont know if its possible on ebay?

jamiecoins

only if there all uncirculated never been in circulation like in shops as change etc , then they would have a value of 3- 7 euro each all depending ,
u could list them on ebay as one lot and set a reserve on them but add alot of money for shipping as theyl a bit , or put them on adverts ,
you could try done deal also , have u any earlier florins other than u listed

Judgement Day

I think that gb19815 is best contacting the Central Bank 1890 777777, open Monday to Friday from 09.00 - 18.00 - not sure whether they still take pre-decimal currency but you will get nothing for them on eBay or elsewhere. Here's a current eBay listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11-IRELAND-TWO-SHILLING-COINS-/110933637343?pt=UK_Coins_European_RL&hash=item19d428f8df#ht_2859wt_1186

The central bank would be the best option for these, you will get just over the €500 mark for them
It would be very hard to find anyone to buy these in one go as for some reason florins are very hard to sell, a dealer wouldnt be interested unless they are uncirculated

Hi Everyone,

I have been left a collection of coins by a deceased relative - could you recommend best place to get them valued/ sell please?

They hold no interest for me.

Good point - should have said that! In Dublin.

Anthony O Brien

Theres a coin fair coming up sometime in octoberin the rds, that would be your best bet

bathy

Thanks for that - do you know of fair? Can't see any mention of it on site. Also how do these things work? Do you need to take a stand if you are selling or do you just approach the people on the stand to possibly buy from you?

Anthony O Brien

you can just walk in and show the coins to the dealers and they will make you an offer if they are interested in buying

How much would a 1928 irish shilling be worth?

That's a bit like asking "how high is a kite?" TBH. You'd need to post pictures as it's all down to condition. Could be anything from between 2 Euro to 30 Euro.

akura

It's not in great condition, i actully found it a field sticking up through the mud that the cows kicked up, i also found a few rusty coins two but i left them

Scrap metal value I'm afraid, about 2 Euro.

Can anyone tell where you can officially get coins valued? I know CGS uk and CGS us, but I need to know what exactly is in these coins. I bought three gold coins, two 5 pound coins and one 2 pound coin, I’m new to coin collecting and believe me as "green as could be" I’d go as far as completely naive on my first real purchase anyway. One of the 5 pound coins is 1902 and has the Elizabeth head on it. And before anyone says it, I know already there is something wrong here as I checked online and bought the Spink book 2012 and there is no 1902 5 pound gold coin anywhere to be seen. But the weight is right and the size is right, so gold it might be. But I’m not holding my breath. I want to get it valued with precise detail, telling me what gold is in it, 9 carat?? 22 carat?? Or just to tell me what exactly is wrong with this. CGS uk doesn’t tell you what gold is in it, they will only say if it's fake or not. And grade them. Any help would be really appreciated as this is really bugging me. Sorry to bang on so long.

There were five pound coins minted it 1902 but what you have sounds very suspect, if it was 1902 it should have Edward VII on the obverse
Id like to see a picture of this
