Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 08:36 am A lot of English coins in that lot. Condition of most seems to be quite low and some show clear signs of corrosion/verdigris. Would expect most of that to come from a junk box. From the pictures can't judge if there is any rarer year in there. Don't want to sound negative but if you paid more than ~$10 for the lot, you overpaid (personally I would not buy it). The only decent coin I can see in there is the Jersey/Guernsey Victorian copper.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 09:20 am 17 coins here, all very worn. If you paid $10 U.S. for the lot, the average price per coin is only 52 Euro cents each. Perhaps they may be worth, on average, 2 Euros each from a dealer's junk box. That would make the total purchase valued at 34 Euros. I visit junk boxes quite often, but I would not buy the whole of this lot at 34 Euros. I may however, buy one or two of the more numismatically interesting coins out of the lot for 2 Euros each. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 10:40 am Well, here's a nice but worn Brazilian counterstamped 40 reis, a reasonably nice "baiocco" of what appears to be the Papal States, a Hibernia coin from the 1760s, what looks like a farthing of William and Mary, and some kind of Scottish large copper. I'll gladly buy any of the coins I just mentioned for 2 euros each - I'd even go up to 3 euros each on the Brazilian, Italian, and Scottish ones, actually. There's apparently also a Wellington token, which should also be worth a few euros to a collector of such items (I'm not particularly interested in them personally). Report this Post to the Staff
coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 6:32 pm The baiocco is a good one. I would buy it alone for $20. The others must be worth another $10-$30. In total I see a value between $30-$50. If you paid $20-$30 than you have got a bargain. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 09:05 am I see lots like this sell for $75-$100 and sometimes more on ebay pretty often. And yes I agree that baiocco is the best coin in the group. Edited by Numismat 01/28/2015 09:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
