Foreign Coin/Mint Sets

Get a copy of the Krause World Coin Catalog 1901-2000. You can probably get one at the library, or interlibrary loan it. At the back of every country is a section for sets (if that country issued any coin sets). If your sets were issued by the respective goverments you should be able to find a *very* rough estimate of how much they are worth.

If your sets are not listed and are not in government packaging, then you need to look up each coin individually to get a price. I would then check with ebay and find your coins/sets there. The filter your listings to completed auctions to see what prices they are selling for.

If you find that you have a set put together out side the mint then you can search for individual coins here: http://en.numista.com/

The German one will be a proof set, from the Hamburg (J), Karlsruhe (G) or Stuttgart (F) mint. Price is, very roughly, around €80.

Thanks allranger. All I have been able to find on the Burundi set was one comment that it was a fantasy set with a value of 40 euros (or dollars, don't quite remember) per coin but that valuation was vague.
