joeharmon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 10:55 pm Hello, I am Looking to have 30 plus coins Identified. I am Looking for the country of origin, Date(if not already on it in English, Country's value and It's converted to United State Dollar value, Coin's Composite, and if possible today's value of the coin in USD. I'm not trading nor selling these coins I got them from friends of the family station over seas through-out the last 20 plus year with no real clue as to what they are other then nice gifts from them. Any information is appreciated. I will split up all the coins into single post a few at a time so they can be sorted into other parts of the forum as they are Identified.

As I said in this thread by Cajunlady0, giving a US-dollar-equivalent for many old coins is meaningless, because the old currency is now obsolete. Coins from the German Empire are an excellent example. Back when it was issued, 5 pfennigs was worth slightly more than one US cent. But post-war hyperinflation made these coins theoretically worthless. They have no "face value" anymore, and are only valuable to a collector. I'd grade the coin as Fine, making it worth about a dollar. I should point out, however, that there are some interesting die-cracks on both sides of this coin, that an error/variety collector might pay extra for. If you like, I can move this post tot he World Varieties/Errors forum to get some opinion on that. 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
