amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 3:30 pm to CCF! Firstly...STEP AWAY FROM THE CAP LOCK KEY! Most look like common modern world coins...others may see something I missed. What to do with them? Enjoy them! Edited by amida17 06/22/2012 3:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 4:06 pm Quote: Firstly...STEP AWAY FROM THE CAP LOCK KEY! You took the time to go through the coins Next step would be to find out all the information you can about them: composition, mintage, value. The coins are in your hands and, it is your decision to get involved with coin collecting or sell them and not know their true value. Number 1 rule, do not clean them! Hope this helps.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15489 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 5:14 pm Ouch ... the ALL CAPS YELLING made me avoid much of the list of coins. This is a tremendous coin forum ... filled with true experts and truly helpful people. It is also a volunteer place ... and I hope you did not show up expecting that all of us who work for a living are going to delve into some research for you on the value of these coins. My suggestion ... go to your local library and check out a current version of the Krause World Coins directory ... you will find all of these listed in there and Krause will provide tons of information about them. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 5:52 pm PLEASE NO CAPS! Now that I got that off my chest, it seems most of your coins are relatively modern circulation world coins, which are not of great value. However, the following do have silver content, making them more valuable: 1/10 Gulden 1956 - Netherlands Antilles 20 Cents 1952 - Cuba 1/4 Gulden 1944 - Curacao 3 Mark 1909 - Germany (most likely Prussia. Anyway, this is probably your most valuable coin) 20 Drachmai 1930 - Greece 20 Drachmai 1960 - Greece 1/10 Gulden 1942 - Netherlands East Indies 3 Pence 1934, 1946 - New Zealand 25 Cents (aka 1/4 Balboa) 1961, 1962 - Panama 2 Francs 1920 - Switzerland 1 Florin 1903 - Great Britain (scarce date, could be quite valuable depending on condition) 1 Shilling 1907, 1942 - Great Britain 1 Florin 1920 - Great Britain 6 Pence 1916 - Great Britain 3 Pence 1931, 1937, 1940-1944 - Great Britain Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 5:55 pm I hope you're going to keep them! You wrote that you didn't know what to do with them. That makes me wonder: Did you just get a box of coins? Most of us put our best coins in plastic containers or cardboard flips to protect them. You could check out some online coin supplies stores and see what those are about. You could put together a really nice notebook with all those coins. But be sure to store them properly. The wrong kind of plastic will ruin the coins. Air and humidity are no friend to coins either. Good luck and have fun! Report this Post to the Staff

CATFISH1 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/23/2012 12:45 pm Thanks again for your knowledge and comments. But these coins were located in an old barn in W.V. with little or no protection from the climate. So, the first thing I did was looked up on how to clean coins. I used Vinegar and salt on the coins starting from Antilles coins through the German coins. They looked pretty after I cleaned them, but the next day a lot of them had a mist on them and others had a green mold. Then I got wise and joined your forum. I thought about using a little car wax to clean the ones that I messed up or Vitamin E oil. And I have already ordered the books that were suggested.. I'm new at this but, I'll keep trying with your help! Report this Post to the Staff
