My Grandfather collected some coins from around the world, I just started looking through them yesterday and have identified most of them so far. Francs, Dongs, India, Vietnam. However I cannot find out too much on this specific coin aside from a picture or 2 and a thread from this forum at this closed thread http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=49423

Sap- The link you provided was indeed the coin that I have run into a roadblock while trying to determine if it is at all scarce. The members at this site seem to be incredibly knowledgeable. Any help or advice would be fantastic.

Thank you very much for any assistance

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

That particular coin - a 5 millim (1956) from Sudan is worth $1 in brillient uncirculated condition, and less as the condition gets worse.

hope this helps

I'm glad my post has helped more than one person find their coin. Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to the forum.

You can use the WorldCoinGallery site linked to in that earlier thread to find a minimum value for your coins. For this coin, for example, you'll see the WCG page for it has "KM31" - that's the Krause world coin catalogue reference number. If you then click on "back to country index", select "Sudan" from the countries listed, and then click on the "Click here for coin values" link, this page will come up. Look down the table to "KM31.1" - the circulation version of this coin - and you'll find it listed at $1 in Unc, as Bacchus2 said. You can do this for any other coins you've got that you're not sure of the value of.

Please note the little asterisk at the top of that page, and the explanation for it at the bottom: the value quoted is the minimum possible value for that particular type. If there are scarce dates or varieties within a type and yours just happens to be one of those, then your coin would be worth more than the value stated there.

Unfortunately, your coin is not one of those exceptions. But you'd need to buy or borrow a Krause catalogue, register on NumisMaster or ask here on the forum to find that out for sure.

Bacchus2- Thanks for the quick response. I don't believe mine will fetch a dime in the condition that it is in.

Sap Thank you for the information and the very useful website.

I can now see why people enjoy collecting Coins, I gained knowledge about several countries and the thrill of looking into the past. I have no hopes about any of my grandfathers coins being worth anything but I'll never know till I identify them all. I'll continue browsing these forums for any "mysterious" coins that have already been identified by you guys.
