So I`ve narrowed down my choices but I`m one indecisive person and need a few more opinions. Here are the 3 I have narrowed it down to:


MS66 Sweden 1889 20 Kronor - $469
http://www.ebay.com/itm/35083906924....m1423.l2649
AU50 Portugal 1868 5000 Reis - $550
http://www.ebay.com/itm/19086739688....m1423.l2649
MS65 Great Britain 1925 Sovereign - $518
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30093574666....m1423.l2649

Can anyone help me with valuations and if any of them are worth buying and what their FMV is. Thanks.

I can chip in on the Swedish coin...
there are currently 4 1889s up on the swedish ebay. They are all ungraded and they are all up at $490 with 5 hrs left. They look like being around MS66 as well.

So $469 is probably a correct FMV

Prices aren't *bad* for any of them. The 5000 Reis is a bit high for the grade. The Sovereign doesn't really make 65, I think, and the seller seems to agree as they're offering it at 64 money.

I may be wrong but $518 seems like too much for that sovereign. I know it's certified but the coin itself is only worth about $350 - unless 1925 is a rare date or something.

I kind of like all of them. Although I just don't like ebay. Lots of money if something goes wrong. All are certified and slabbed but with China actually making coins in slabs, I'd worry. The Sweden one looks the best to me.

Not quite - it was but the dies were reused from 1949 to 1951 I think so they're not so rare now.
But there might be a way to tell the restrikes from the originals.
