-JJH- Valued Member Finland 79 Posts	Posted 11/13/2006 2:16 pm Hi, I recently acquired this 1945 20 Centime coin, I do know that it has been unused for almost 60 years (finnish merchant captain traded in northern africa in -45 and -46, after that, this coin has been sitting in a cigar box, until now). Krause lists this with value around $70 (XF) - $100 (UNC), but does someone know the 'true' market value for this coin? I haven't seen this coin in ebay or anywhere else, so I dunno what has been the most recent selling price. Here is the actual scan of the coin. Image Insert: -JJ- Report this Post to the Staff

Not bad for a piece of zinc. Wonder why they'd remelt zinc coins in 1945, anyway? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
