silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 5:39 pm hey guys, I have a damaged silver 1833-46 Greece Quarter Drachma. The 18 in the date is visible but the 2 digits after that is not. I realized that this is a pretty rare coin considered in higher grades. What would this guy be worth? I also have a chinese Fukien 2 Cash Coin, what would you grade it? :D Thanks in advance :) Report this Post to the Staff
